Astro Bot DualSense preorder is live

One of the cutest DualSense controllers ever made, Astro Bot DualSense, can be pre-ordered on Amazon, Walmart, Playstation Store, and BestBuy, but unfortunately, it is already sold out.

On September 6, 2024, Astro Bot 2 will hit the stores, along with a special edition of the DualSense controller with the theme of Sony's upcoming game. Less than a month earlier, pre-orders of this special edition controller started and after just one day of being on digital stores, they are all sold out already.

Pre-orders were available at the PlayStation Store, Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy, and after just one day, it was impossible to find a single Astro Bot controller out there. This is hardly the first special edition controller that Sony has released, but we can't recall another one that had such high demand and sold out so quickly.

But probably the Astro Bot DualSense's good sales can be attributed to the fact that this controller is really beautifully designed and attracts incredible attention with details never before seen on any DualSense controller.

This charming white and blue model features stunning colours, laser-etched markings, and all the standard features of a typical DualSense controller. One of the features that will charm you beyond words is a set of animated eyes that blink and emote as you play games, located on the controller's trackpad. It’s one of the most impressive special-edition controllers we’ve ever seen, and it is a real shame that Sony hasn't made more of these, that's for sure.
