For gamers who appreciate a bold aesthetic, the new Icon Blue PS5 DualSense controller has received an early Black Friday discount at Walmart, bringing its price down to just $64. This special edition controller, which launched only a few weeks ago, is now priced lower than the standard model, making it an attractive pickup for anyone looking to add a splash of color to their setup. Given its limited availability and popular design, shoppers are encouraged to move quickly before stock runs out.
The controller’s design is a deep, cohesive blue from top to bottom. Every element, the analog sticks, face buttons, triggers, and textured grips, sports a rich, vibrant blue finish. Even the touchpad contributes to the theme, displaying glossy blue icons that mirror the classic PlayStation symbols.
Leo Cardoso, a member of the Color, Material and Finish design team at PlayStation, explained the inspiration behind the controller in a recent blog post. He described how the design draws from the company’s iconic blue color palette, aiming to evoke a sense of excitement and curiosity each time the player picks it up. As a subtle tribute to PlayStation’s roots, the back of the controller includes Katakana characters spelling “Pureisutēshon”, the Japanese pronunciation of the brand name.
Sony frequently introduces new color variations for the DualSense, but the “Special Edition” label suggests this particular model may not be available indefinitely. While many players hesitate to invest in limited-run accessories, the striking look of the Icon Blue edition has captured significant attention.
PlayStation’s 2025 Black Friday promotion includes a variety of other offers as well, with discounts available on games, consoles, and additional accessories.
