Genshin Impact-Themed PS5 DualSense Controller Is Up for Preorder

The new controller is coming in part to promote the recent release of Genshin Impact Version Luna III, “which features the new playable character Durin and fresh updates to the story in Nod-Krai.” Click the above link for full details about the update and patch notes.

As for the controller itself, Sony said in a blog post that its designers worked closely with HoYoverse to create the design. It features “design elements inspired by Genshin Impact’s beloved Traveler Twins and Paimon, celebrating years of adventure and companionship in Teyvat.” It has a white and gorgeous blue color scheme, with gold and blue etchings on the grips, touch pad, and D-pad. The face buttons also feature gold versions of the traditional PlayStation shapes.

Functionally, it will be identical to all other PS5 DualSense controllers. It has haptic feedback for vibrations, adaptive triggers that can put resistance on your pulls. It has a built in microphone and speaker, and the built-in battery can be charged via its USB-C port. It’s compatible with PS5, PC, Mac, and mobile devices.

Sony says, “Select markets across Asia, including Japan” will get the controller on January 21. Those in the rest of the world, including the U.S., will have to wait about a month as it releases on February 25 in those regions.
