PlayStation has revealed a new Limited Edition Astro Bot DualSense controller, and while it may look similar to the one that launched a year ago, this clean PS5 controller has received a slight visual shake-up. The Joyful version depicts the small bot's eyes emoting on the touchpad, whereas the original was less animated. If last year's model is anything to go by, this controller is going to fly off the shelves, so I've gathered together everything you need to know about pre-ordering it.
First, let's get the important details out of the way. How can you pre-order the new Astro Bot DualSense controller? Although it's set for launch on October 30, pre-orders are happening a lot sooner, on September 12. As usual with PlayStation hardware pre-orders these days, stock will arrive at 10am in your region, with first grabs up at PlayStation Direct. Would you rather grab your new PS5 controller at another retailer? Participating shops will also be stocking the Joyful Edition of the Astro Bot DualSense, so your options will be open.
