The highly anticipated Genshin Impact Limited Edition DualSense controller for PS5 is now available for pre-order. This special edition pad, featuring a stunning white, gold, and green design with glyphs representing the Traveler Twins and Paimon, is generating significant excitement among collectors and fans. Pre-orders officially began at 10 AM local time in major regions, with the controller priced at $84.99 in the US and £74.99 in the UK. Prospective buyers should note the official release is scheduled for January 2026 in Asia and February 2026 for the rest of the world, making this a forward-looking purchase rather than a last-minute gift option.
For those eager to secure one, multiple retailers are participating. In the United States, key outlets include PlayStation Direct, Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop. UK shoppers currently have confirmed availability at PlayStation Direct and Very. Australian fans can already place orders through retailers like JB Hi-Fi and EB Games. Given the “limited edition” designation, securing a pre-order is the most reliable method to guarantee ownership, though initial stock appears to be holding steady across the listed stores.
A few practical tips can improve your chances during high-demand launches. Ensure you are logged into your accounts with payment details saved ahead of time. Consider using both desktop and mobile devices to access storefronts, as this can provide a backup if one platform experiences issues. Be wary of third-party listings on sites like eBay that have appeared prematurely; purchasing directly from authorized retailers is always the safest and most cost-effective route.
The launch pattern mirrors previous limited edition DualSense releases, which have generally been stable affairs. While Sony indicated availability would be through their direct site and select retailers, the current spread of participating stores is promising for availability. The controller’s aesthetic, praised even by those not deeply familiar with Genshin Impact, combines an ethereal palette with intricate symbols from the game’s fantasy realm, making it a standout addition to any gaming setup.
