Astro Bot fans have another chance to get a DualSense Controller themed around the adorable little robot. Preorders for PlayStation’s Astro Bot Joyful Limited Edition DualSense open tomorrow, September 12, at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET. The remixed version of the incredibly popular DualSense launches October 30.
PlayStation hasn’t officially confirmed pricing details, but we’d expect the controller to retail for $85 like other recent Limited Edition DualSense models. Like the original, the Astro Bot Joyful edition will be sold at PlayStation Direct and participating major retailers. In the US, this likely means Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and GameStop.
Astro Bot Joyful Limited Edition DualSense Controller
$85 | Releases October 30
As the “Joyful” moniker suggests, the 2025 edition makes one change to the design: Astro’s eyes on the touchpad match his smiling face from the PS5 game. The original edition depicted Astro’s eyes as circles. The updated design matches Astro’s face on the game’s cover art.
Outside of that small, but noticeable alteration, this is the same controller that launched in September 2024.
The white and blue color scheme simply looks fantastic, so it’s not surprising this controller was popular enough to warrant a second edition. It’s arguably the best-looking Limited Edition DualSense yet. It also helps that Astro Bot is one of the best 3D platformers ever made and has a strong argument for best overall PS5 game.
Note: The links below are search results where you can expect to find the controller once retailers create store pages. We will update with direct store pages once available.
