Pre-orders Are Live for the Astro Bot DualSense Controller

Unleash the power of the Astro Bot DualSense Controller! Pre-order now and gear up for an out-of-this-world adventure.

Pre-orders for the new Astro Bot DualSense Wireless Controller are now live! Mark your calendars; the controller and the game will be released on September 6th, 2024. I recommend acting fast to get your hands on the DualSense as it will sell out quickly like PlayStation’s other limited edition hardware offerings. To secure your own controller, you can pre-order today via Best Buy here.


Astro Bot Limited Edition DualSense Controller Features

The Astro Bot controller is inspired by Astro’s trusty Dual Speeder spaceship. It features Astro’s signature blue accents, sci-fi design elements, and a playful pair of light blue eyes on the touchpad:


This limited-edition controller not only looks sharp but also packs all the advanced features of the DualSense controller. These include haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, an onboard speaker, and more, which enhance your experience with Astro Bot and other PlayStation titles by providing more immersive and tactile feedback.

 

Feel every Astro bump

Astro Bot is designed to fully utilize the capabilities of the DualSense controller, making every jump, slide, and interaction feel incredibly lifelike. Whether you’re navigating through lush forests, sandy beaches, or volcanic landscapes, the game’s dynamic environments and engaging gameplay will keep you hooked.

Here’s how each feature will connect back to your experience with the game and beyond:

 

Haptic Feedback: With enhanced haptic feedback, feel every surface Astro runs on, from grass to metal. The controller’s built-in speaker and haptic feedback make Astro’s universe feel alive.

Adaptive Triggers: Experience dynamic resistance with adaptive triggers. For example, when using the Barkster, the bulldog Jetpack, you can feel the thruster rattling against your fingers.

 

Compatibility: The DualSense controller is compatible with PS5, PC, Mac, and mobile devices via USB or Bluetooth. This means you can enjoy Astro Bot’s adventures on multiple platforms.

About Astro Bot the game

Astro Bot is back with a brand-new, supersized space adventure! Launching alongside the controller, the new Astro Bot game promises to be an exhilarating adventure. Developed by Team Asobi, the game takes you on a journey across multiple galaxies and worlds themed after PlayStation locales and characters. If you played the original Astro's Playroom on the PS5, it was packed with clever uses of the DualSense controller features. Astro Bot looks to do the same with various experiences that leverage the controller’s advanced features.

 

Key Features in the Astro Bot experience

With over 80 levels, you’ll dash, swing, and rocket-punch through environments like volcanoes and jungles, unlocking 15 new abilities along the way. Astro Bot is a full-sized adventure, offering four times more worlds and 300 bots to rescue than its predecessor. New power-ups and abilities will be available, including the Dual Speeder gadget for planetary exploration.
