Special Edition DualSense Controllers
In addition to the standard DualSense controller colors, Sony has also released several limited edition controllers over the years. Perhaps the most notable was the celebration of PlayStation's 30th anniversary in November 2024, when Sony introduced an entire PlayStation 30th Anniversary collection. This collection featured a standard DualSense controller, PS5 Slim, PS5 Pro, PlayStation Portal, and DualSense Edge controller, all in the iconic grey of the original PlayStation console.
While some special edition controllers may still be available, they often come at a premium due to Sony's limited production runs. Besides the 30th Anniversary collection, Sony has released limited edition DualSense controllers for games like God of War: Ragnarok, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, the ill-fated Concord, Astro Bot, and most recently The Last of Us.
