Exciting News for Gamers!

Last year, Sony stole the spotlight with the release of a stunning PS5 DualSense controller inspired by the much-anticipated platformer, Astro Bot. The game quickly garnered rave reviews from both critics and players, leading to the controller flying off shelves and becoming a rare gem.

Pre-Orders Start Soon!

Now, prepare yourselves! A refreshed edition of this beloved gamepad is set to make its grand return this October, just in time for Halloween. Mark your calendars: pre-orders for the new "Joyful" version of the Astro Bot controller kick off on September 12 at 10 a.m. local time, available on PlayStation’s online store and at select retailers.

What’s New?

Don’t be mistaken—this isn’t just a rehash of last year’s sell-out sensation. While the core design remains, the standout feature of the new controller—the touchpad—undergoes a charming transformation. Unlike the original’s wide-open eyes that seemed to follow your every move, the new design features eyes in a blissfully nestled position, reflecting joy and adding a friendlier touch to your gaming experience.

Pricing Predictions!

While Sony hasn’t confirmed the price for this fresh iteration, we expect it might be a tad steeper than the original, which launched at $80. It's worth noting that earlier this year, a less exciting Last of Us-themed controller was priced at $85, hinting that this delightful new design may follow suit.

Don’t Miss Out!

For those who missed their chance last time, here’s your shot at securing a controller that combines functionality with fun visual flair. Stay alert for pre-order details, and ensure you snag this coveted gadget before it’s gone again!
