Coinciding with today’s launch of the game on PS5, a severely lacking limited-edition Hogwarts Legacy PS5 controller has just been Accioed into existence.
The arrival of Hogwarts Legacy on PS5 today has given PlayStation and Avalanche Software the perfect excuse in which to treat players to a shiny new limited-edition DualSense controller. Admittedly, though, the resulting effort doesn’t look quite as magical as it perhaps could have been. It launched exclusively on the official PlayStation Store today but given the Potterheads' proclivity for wizard merch, it's already sold out! If you do manage to get your hands on one, or have one ordered already, bear in mind that it won't actually ship until Tuesday, February 28.
Taking inspiration from the titular wizarding school where the game primarily takes place, the Hogwarts Legacy PS5 controller itself looks… pretty bad. It doesn’t reach anywhere near the high levels of intrigue and wonder one would expect from a franchise such as as Harry Potter, seemingly taking the body of a standard black DualSense and slathering on golden patterns across both the controller’s grips and touchpad. ‘Gets the job done’ is a first phrase that springs to mind in this instance.
