The controller features a sleek white and blue color scheme, with animated Astro eyes on the touchpad that react to in-game actions. These nice touches make it one of the most unique controllers released for the PS5 to date. 

The controller also includes all the usual features of the standard controller such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, which definitely enhance the experience of playing these games. The game itself is likely to make some great use of these features, just like Astro’s Playroom.

In the past, the company has released several limited-edition controllers, each celebrating a different first-party game. Notable examples include the Spider-Man Miles Morales controller, which featured striking red and black colors and looked pretty amazing, and the God of War Ragnarök controller, with its blue and white design.

These controllers not only add a unique touch to the players’ collections but also often become highly sought after by collectors, skyrocketing in prices once they become really rare.

Astro Bot’s New Adventure Comes Out in September

Astro is the star of an eagerly awaited new game from Team Asobi. This upcoming title is described as the biggest game the developer has ever made. Team Asobi has a history of utilizing the console’s hardware to its fullest potential.

Its previous game, Astro’s Playroom, was a standout hit that showcased the capabilities of the DualSense controller through its creative gameplay mechanics. The game was included for free with the PlayStation 5 and impressed everyone by being a fun little platformer with gorgeous details and a great art style.

It provided a whimsical tour through the history of the publisher, filled with clever references to to other Playstation IPs and franchises. The upcoming Astro game promises to build on this foundation even further with even more expansive levels, new gameplay mechanics, and deeper integration of DualSense features. 

Team Asobi has made it clear that it is dedicated to delivering a game that is both fun and technologically impressive. Fans are excited to see what new adventures await Astro and how the game will utilize the console’s hardware to create a unique gaming experience.
