Of all PS5's special edition DualSense pads, the Astro Bot one has to be among the best.
Based on the in-game DualSpeeder, players were able to purchase the white and blue special edition controller around the PS5 game's launch last year, but it's no longer in production.
Fortunately, that's about to change; Sony is re-releasing the Astro Bot PS5 pad, with exact details to follow soon.
What we do know for now is that the design is slightly altered. The new version of the controller will feature a different eye design on the touchpad, looking as though your controller is happy to see you. Adorable.
Presumably we'll learn about pre-order and release details in the near future, and we'll of course keep you updated on all that when it happens.
Did you miss out on the Astro Bot pad the first time around? Are you planning on grabbing one of these cute controllers? Tell us in the comments section below.

I was imaginin touchpad panel has digital eyes so Astroboy can have different emotes.
But more realistic scenario would be opalescent touchpad design with different emotes.
If it's a Dualsense Edge, I'm interested. Standard Dualsense, they can keep.
I like this better! Absolutely getting one!
I have the original one still in the packaging. May get this one as well for another collectors item
Oh crap. I may have to buy it again.
The one in the game has black thumb sticks and I'm slightly annoyed that they didn't take this opportunity to correct that.
Scalpers bought up so many of the original that they outpaced demand. I ended up getting one from a scalper for like $3 more than the original retail price by just waiting a bit. It still kind of makes me upset that a scalper made any money off me, but at least it was barely enough for a coffee.
It’s a little thing really but this made me super happy as I missed out last time. Absolutely picking one up.
Missed out the first time around. Defo will be looking to get the re-release, if the scalpers dont get there first!!
I passed on the last one. Not doing that again. I am getting the entire fam on trying to get me a pre-order.
The last 5 free levels were a lot of fun, I'm hoping, and have no reason to doubt, that the next ones are just as good. Team Asobi deserves all their accolades, not only for having made an excellent game, but also for continuously supporting it with good content and for free.
Was hoping they would fine a way to make the eyes animate. I'd totally pay $150 for it
I had one delivered from game, wrapped in only plastic. No protective box for delivery. So, the controller box was absolutely crushed. So i had to send it back, and they had no stock. So I had to buy from a reseller. But game paid the extra £15 that the reseller charged because it was their fault.
I'll happily snap this new design up too, they also said that there were a few surprises. Let's hope it makes a special noise when switched on.
