Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced a limited-edition PS5 DualSense controller inspired by the new game Astro Bot . The controller will be available for pre-order starting August 9, 2024, and will officially launch on September 6, 2024, alongside the game.

The announcement trailer reveals a slew of Astro Bots enjoying the new game, all using the new themed DualSense controller. This special controller features Astro's signature blue accents on the grips and buttons, as well as sci-fi sculpted lines and eyes on the touchpad. Like the other PS5 controllers, it features haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to enhance the gameplay experience.

The controller will be priced at $79.99 in the US, €79.99 in Europe, £69.99 in the UK, and ¥11,980 in Japan. Pre-orders will be available on Sony's official website and at select retailers. However, Sony has not yet confirmed whether major retailers like Amazon or GameStop will also offer the product.

Additionally, Sony announced that PlayStation VR2 will soon be compatible with PC via Steam. With the launch of the PlayStation VR2 App, scheduled for August 6, 2024, users will be able to play VR titles and apps on Steam using the Sony headset and Sense controllers.
