Good news for PlayStation fans: Walmart’s exclusive Icon Blue DualSense controller is available again for just $64, a significant drop from its original $85 price tag. This vibrant blue edition first went on sale in late November but quickly sold out over the Black Friday weekend. While the retailer has restocked it at the promotional price, availability is not guaranteed through the advertised December 18 sale end date, so interested buyers should act promptly.
This eye-catching Icon Blue controller was part of a special Walmart-exclusive PlayStation merchandise launch in October. The collection also featured several Astro Bot items, including a 7-inch Golden Captain Vinyl Figure for $20 and a surprisingly large Pillow Plush. Walmart lists the plush at 15 inches, but it actually measures a substantial 25 inches. With stock noted as low, an alternative is an Amazon bundle featuring an Astro Bot plush and a throw blanket for $25.
For other collectibles, if Walmart sells out of its $10 Astro Bot Mystery Mini Figures, Target offers a CultureFly Astro Bot Collector’s Box for $35. This box includes a blanket, beanie, enamel pin, and travel tumbler alongside one of the figures. Target also carries an exclusive 16-inch Youtooz plushie for $50 and a 4.5-inch Youtooz Vinyl Figure for $30, with even more themed merchandise detailed in various roundups.
The Icon Blue model is one of five Limited Edition DualSense controllers released in October, all currently discounted by $20 for the holiday season. However, retailer stock varies widely. The popular Astro Bot Joyful edition is sold out everywhere, while the Ghost of Yotei Gold version is only available at Target and GameStop. The PS Direct-exclusive Ghost of Yotei Black model remains in stock, and the God of War 20th Anniversary controller has been restocked at most retailers except PlayStation Direct. PlayStation Direct also has the Death Stranding 2: On the Beach edition and last year’s Fortnite Limited Edition controller available.
In addition to these special editions, Walmart has replenished its supply of standard DualSense colors from the Chroma and Deep Earth collections after recent sell-outs. Walmart is currently offering most standard models for about $1 less than competing retailers. In contrast, Amazon’s inventory is more unpredictable, with several models listed as out of stock as of early December.
