A new limited-edition DualSense brings a striking deep-blue design—though only select regions will get their hands on it.
Sony has announced the Icon Blue DualSense, a sleek, limited-edition pad that is soaked in rich, dark blue. It is the newest DualSense controller for the PlayStation 5. Fans and owners who like stylish versions of Sony’s best-selling controller are already excited about the news.
According to some recent sources, only certain regions will see the controller’s release later this month. At the moment, you can only get the new pads in the US, Canada, Mexico, and Chile, of all places. All launch dates are the same; the controller will launch on October 28 in all the mentioned regions.
Sony has also stated that Walmart will be the only store selling the game. The suggested retail price is $85 USD and $110 CAD. The recognizable blue hues of PlayStation served as inspiration. Leo Cardoso, who oversees the design team, said the new controller pays homage to PlayStation’s long history of blue designs.
The iconic shades of blue used by PlayStation inspired this design.
It captures the feeling of excitement and wonder every time you pick up the controller.” Cardoso said, “To honor our roots, we added katakana characters on the back that spell our name in Japanese.
“Longtime PlayStation fans are sure to enjoy the elegant cultural nod to the brand’s roots that the small Japanese writing adds. The choice of color stands out in a big way. Even though the blue finish is just a simple color change, its deep, silky tone stands out against the controller’s simple symbols and overall clean design.
When you combine respect for culture with high-end design, the Icon Blue DualSense has a sense of craftsmanship that you don’t always find in normal color options.
A dream for collectors with a touch of the past.
Many fans have already said that even though Sony releases new controller colors all the time, this one feels the most unique and high-end. Players who care about both speed and looks will love the Icon Blue model.
It looks like a tribute to PlayStation’s design history. Even though some people might be hesitant because it’s only available in certain regions, this controller looks set to quickly become a collector’s item.
