The controller features a sleek white and blue color scheme, with animated Astro eyes on the touchpad that react to in-game actions. These nice touches make it one of the most unique controllers released for the PS5 to date.
The controller also includes all the usual features of the standard controller such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, which definitely enhance the experience of playing these games. The game itself is likely to make some great use of these features, just like Astro’s Playroom.
In the past, the company has released several limited-edition controllers, each celebrating a different first-party game. Notable examples include the Spider-Man Miles Morales controller, which featured striking red and black colors and looked pretty amazing, and the God of War Ragnarök controller, with its blue and white design.
These controllers not only add a unique touch to the players’ collections but also often become highly sought after by collectors, skyrocketing in prices once they become really rare.
