Summary

  • PlayStation has revealed a Death Stranding 2 DualSense.
  • The controller is orange and black with the Drawbridge logo on the touchpad.
  • Death Stranding 2's DualSense will cost $84.99 and pre-orders open on May 22, 2025.

Only a select few games have been chosen for limited edition DualSense duty, and most of those games are titles created by a studio owned by PlayStation. That's what makes the newly revealed Death Stranding 2 DualSense controller even more unique than most.

Previews for Death Stranding 2 dropped this morning, and to go along with them, PlayStation revealed a first look at its limited edition Death Stranding 2 DualSense. Shown off by Hideo Kojima himself in a new post on the PlayStation Blog, PlayStation notes that it worked closely with Kojima and Kojima Productions on the controller's design to make sure it's a perfect fit for the upcoming sequel.

The controller is mostly black with splashes of orange on the touchpad and handles. Etched into the orange on the touchpad is the game's Drawbridge logo, and the orange on the handles comes in the form of numbers and barcodes akin to the ones you'll find in the game when using terminals and accepting orders on Sam's behalf.

Flip the controller over and you'll find Death Stranding 2: On The Beach embossed in black on the back of it. Other than that, it's a pretty simple design, and that's certainly not a bad thing. Countless controller designs try to do too much and suffer because of it. On the DualSense front, the LeBron James edition of the controller is the only one that has really fallen foul of that so far.

Pre-orders for the Death Stranding 2 DualSense will begin later this month on May 22, 2025, at 10 am EST in the US, or 10 am local time in other parts of the world. It will cost $84.99 which, while it sounds like a lot, is good news considering what is happening with hardware prices right now. Nintendo increased the price of its Switch 2 accessories following tariff announcements, and Xbox upped the cost of its consoles and accessories considerably last week.

PlayStation's collection of limited edition DualSense controllers continues to grow with Death Stranding 2 now joining the family. Helldivers 2 didn't get the luxury of a controller being revealed ahead of its launch, likely because no one anticipated just how well the game would sell, and didn't get its own DualSense until this year. Monster Hunter Wilds is another game not owned by PlayStation to get the DualSense treatment, but it, and its matching PS5 cover, were exclusively sold in Japan to coincide with the game's launch.
