The special edition DualSense controller in honor of Astro Bot is now available for pre-order, but is selling out quickly.
The controller, which features a white and blue design similar to the Astro, is available through PlayStation Direct in the US and UK, as well as regions in Europe where PlayStation Direct is offered. It is also available from other select retailers.
The controller costs $79.99/€79.99/£69.99 and will be available in “limited quantities”.
It appears to be sold out on PlayStation Direct in the UK, but other stores like GAME still have pre-orders available at the time of writing.
The limited edition controller is based on the “living” controller seen in the first trailer for Astro Bot.
“We know that many of you were hoping for this after seeing the game trailer,” said Nicolas Doucet, head of the Asobi Studios team, on the official PlayStation blog.
“So we quickly asked our amazing bots to come up with this beauty, and tada! No, no, I'm just kidding, it had been in the works for some time, carefully crafted by the amazing teams at SIE. And what an amazing job they did.
“The controller's design features Astro's signature blue accents on the grips and buttons, engraved sci-fi lines, and the signature pair of playful eyes on the touchpad. It's a true work of art and we at Team Asobi couldn't be happier with the end result.”
Scheduled for release in September, Astro Bot will require players to rescue “over 150 iconic VIP bots inspired by legendary characters from 30 years of PlayStation history,” according to Sony.
The platform game follows Astro's Playroom, the popular PlayStation 5 package that has now been bundled with more than 60 million consoles.
