Playstation's Black Friday sale is now live, offering sweet deals like $100 off PS5 consoles, savings on dozens of games, and much more. It's rare that Sony discounts its limited edition DualSense controllers, but they are all currently $20 off as part of this sale, including the newly updated Astro Bot DualSense, which now features a joyful expression on the touchpad.
If you've been waiting to replace one of your aging DualSense controllers, looking to add another limited edition to your collection, or just can't get enough of that adorable little Astro Bot, then you won't want to miss out on this deal.
Astro Bot DualSense for $64.99
Like many of PlayStation's limited edition DualSense controllers, the Astro Bot DualSense is based on one of its many franchises, specifically 2024's Game of the Year, Astro Bot. The controller features a white and blue trim that perfectly matches the Dual Speeder in-game, as well as a smiling set of eyes on the touchpad.
The Joyful limited edition is actually a slightly updated version of the original controller, which released at the end of October, with the only difference being Astro Bot's cheery expression on the touchpad, as opposed to the original's circular eyes.
If you haven't played Astro Bot yet (and seriously, why not?), it's currently on sale for $39 as part of the PlayStation Black Friday sale. This is a must-play for fans of mascot platformers and especially for fans of PlayStation, as there are countless references to the company's 30-plus-year history littered throughout the game that will have you looking as cheerful as this matching controller.
We gave Astro Bot a glowing 9/10 review, with our reviewer saying, "Team Asobi has crafted a mascot platformer that goes near enough toe-to-toe with Nintendo's best efforts, and that's about as high a compliment as I can give it."
