"The latest Astro Bot Joyful DualSense looks similar to the first model, complete with the blue grips and buttons and carved-in sci-fi lines. The most notable difference is the eyes on the touchpad are slightly squinting instead of fully open, giving it a more cutesy and joyful expression. Like last time, the eyes are drawn onto the touchpad and don't actually emote. Otherwise, the Joyful edition offers the same haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, motion controls, and built-in microphone as a standard DualSense."
"Resale listings for last year's Astro Bot DualSense controller remain marked up on sites like eBay, making it impossible to find without paying well above the retail price. The good news is you don't have to pay a premium on the Joyful version since PS5 accessories are unaffected by Sony's recent price hikes. However, we're expecting it to sell out quickly like the previous version."
Sony will launch the Astro Bot Joyful DualSense wireless controller for PlayStation 5 on October 30th at $84.99, with preorders already available at the PlayStation Store. The controller retains blue grips, carved sci-fi lines, and buttons from the previous limited edition, while the touchpad features slightly squinting eyes for a cutesy expression. The eyes are printed and do not animate. The Joyful edition includes standard DualSense features such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, motion controls, and a built-in microphone. Resale listings for the prior Astro Bot DualSense remain marked up, but the Joyful controller currently maintains the $84.99 retail price. Sony also offers other themed DualSense controllers at the same price.
