Astro Bot PS5 Controller Preorders - The Limited-Edition DualSense Is Currently Sold Out

The limited-edition Astro Bot DualSense Controller arrives on September 6 alongside the highly anticipated PS5 platformer.

Considering Astro's Playroom served as a brilliant (and free!) demonstration of the DualSense Controller's unique features, it feels rather fitting that PlayStation is releasing this controller alongside Astro Bot, the upcoming PS5 platformer that arrives on the same day (September 6). The Astro Bot Limited Edition DualSense Controller went up for preorder on August 9. Unsurprisingly, it's proven to be extremely popular.

Preorders for the Astro Bot PS5 controller are sold out at all major retailers: Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Target, GameStop, Antonline, and PlayStation Direct. Antonline also had an Astro Bot bundle featuring the controller and a physical copy of the game for a $7 discount overall, but as of August 12 at 2:30 PM PT / 5:30 PM ET, the bundle is sold out, too. It's unclear if more stock will be available at launch, but we will update this article as restocks occur.

While it may boast a striking new design, this is your standard DualSense. That means you won't get back buttons or customizable components as you would on the DualSense Edge, but it has all of the hallmarks that make the DualSense such a cool controller: haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a built-in microphone.

Preorders for the controller don't open until August 9, but preorders for the Astro Bot game are now available. You'll get some cool swag for reserving a copy ahead of time, including a bunch of in-game goodies and an adorable physical poster for your game room.

The Astro Bot Limited Edition DualSense follows hot on the heels of the Concord Limited Edition DualSense. Based on the shooter of the same name, it gets you a black gamepad accented with red and blue stripes throughout the entire front faceplate. Like the upcoming Astro Bot controller, this one will only be available for a limited time.
