by

Starting today, March 14th, you can pre-order the exclusive DualSense wireless controller inspired by the “The Last of Us” series. This special edition will be shipped starting from April 10th. The design of this gamepad incorporates subtle references to the popular PS5 game and retails for $85, just like previous limited-edition PS5 colors such as the one for “Helldivers” 2 controller.

Just like past launches, these exclusive PS5 controllers often run out fast, so it’s wise to secure your order promptly. The DualSense Wireless Controller – The Last of Us Limited Edition (as it goes by officially) will be up for grabs at PlayStation Direct and other authorized sellers such as Amazon and Walmart.

If you’re keen on expanding your collection with a special edition controller for “The Last of Us”, here’s some crucial info on when and where to secure a pre-order for this upcoming item.

Where to Pre-Order The Last of Us DualSense Controller

Starting from 7 a.m. Pacific Time (10 a.m. Eastern Time) in the U.S., or 10 a.m. local time across the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg on March 14th, pre-orders for the DualSense controller themed after The Last of Us will become available. Given the limited quantities, high demand due to scalpers and the game’s popularity, it is expected that this controller will be quickly snapped up.

To increase your odds of purchasing one, ensure that your payment information and shipping address are accurate and prepared ahead of time. The controller for “The Last of Us” retails at around $85, much like the limited-edition controllers for “Fortnite” and “Helldivers 2”. Compared to the standard DualSense controller priced at $75, you’re paying an additional $10 for the special “Last of Us” design.

The controller boasts a covert appearance, primarily black with white highlights (essentially a reversal of the typical DualSense design). Fans of “The Last of Us” will swiftly identify the shiny trophy symbols, directly lifted from “The Last of Us Part I” and “The Last of Us Part II”. As Neil Druckmann of Naughty Dog explains, “Players will recognize the Fireflies’ distinctive spray-painted logo, which first appeared in Part I, while the moth and wolf symbolize the interconnected lives and duality between Ellie and Abby, as depicted in Part II.

Beneath the exterior, it remains the familiar and highly favored DualSense controller. You can continue to enjoy the fantastic haptic feedback and dynamic adaptive triggers that immerse you in your games. It operates seamlessly on both the PS5 and earlier PlayStation systems. However, a drawback is that it still shares the issue of thumbstick drift, which is a common complaint among users. Despite the growing availability and affordability of third-party Hall effect and TMR controllers with anti-drift sticks, Sony has yet to upgrade their DualSense controllers to address this concern.

Grow Your PS5 Controller Collection With More Limited Edition Colors

Apart from the limited-edition DualSense controller based on “The Last of Us”, Sony has also unveiled a gamepad themed around “Helldivers 2”. This controller boasts a weathered design and the distinctive black and yellow color scheme, much like the game itself. You can purchase this “Helldivers 2” controller from PlayStation Direct for $85, just like the newly released “The Last of Us” controller.

If the sleek, dark design of the Helldivers 2 controller doesn’t appeal to you, consider the vibrant Fortnite DualSense controller as an alternative for adding a burst of color and excitement to your gaming environment. At $85, this Fortnite themed creation comes with characters like Fishstick and Peely to ensure a secure hold.
