PlayStation unveils adorable Astro Bot PS5 DualSense controller, complete with "playful" pair of eyes

PlayStation has today unveiled a new DualSense controller, inspired by upcoming PS5 release Astro Bot.

The controller itself boasts all the features you would expect from a DualSense, such as adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. These will all come into play when Astro Bot releases later this year (although, with more textures to feel through the controller than with Astro’s Playroom). So far, so normal.

Things get a little more exciting when you get to the cosmetic side of things, however. The upcoming controller has Astro’s blue accents on the handles and buttons, some sci-fi style grooves and – the most eye-catching feature in every sense – Astro’s “trademark playful pair of eyes” on the DualSense’s touchpad.
