God of War turns 20 this year, and to mark the occasion, Sony has produced a limited edition of the DualSense PS5 controller.
If you're a fan of Kratos and his grisly journey through mythology, you'll be able to celebrate with this commemorative pad, as pre-orders are now live across various retailers.
The controller is quite minimalist in design but apes Kratos' look; it's a mostly white controller, mimicking his ash-covered complexion, with the signature red tattoo across the right-hand side. It's a simple but effective design that's unmistakably God of War.
If you want one of these, the controller is selling for $84.99/£74.99, and it's planned for release on 23rd October 2025.

That… that’s it?
Quite a bit for a controller with a red line on it. And red shape buttons I guess.
This is the least appealing one yet.
Edit: The best one so far is the final fantasy xvi controller in my opinion.
I'll wait for the supposed Greek GoW remaster over this. Sony can we please stop with all these controllers, we're good bro....
It's not really that special looking at all definitely not for that price anyway!
Amazing to think that a few years ago, Sony did an absolutely brilliant Death Stranding Pad and the Spiderman 2 design. How things have fallen off from those heights. I think the last pad that I wanted was the Astro Bot one, but since then it’s gotten pretty poor.
I can make this myself by "accidentally" spilling fruit punch all over my white controller and let it sink into the plastic for a bit
I still see 30th anniversary Controllers and Portals at Walmart. If I need a new controller I'll go for that.
£75 for a red splodge. Pay$tation right enough.
84 big ones for that? Lol
They could have at least put the white sticks on it, they have them from the astrobot controller. Other than that it does look better than the one that came with my GOW PS4 pro, that one was really lame 😒
Did the artist in charge of this design forget to produce one and had to cobble together something during their commute to work?
“S##t, forgot to do that god of war controller! Was that due today? Yes, F**k! Kratos… hmmm… red stripe? White controller? Wait… red button text? Yeah, that’ll do.”
You also get a matching pair of clown shoes with your pre-order.
@RBMango those cost extra. Or they come free! With your new midgen price increased console.
Nice looking controller - much better than the garish designs you see so much of these days. This is one controller I wouldn’t feel embarrassed by every time I used it.
it needs matching white sticks, in my opinion, like the Astrobot one had.
I know this one has got a lot of flack, but I don't dislike it (aside from the sticks) personally. I dig the minimalism and how it hasn't got some garish "God of War 20th Anniversary" logo on it., which they could have easily done.
They should've done a controller in the style of the art they put on the pottery in Greece. Could've literally taken the design on the vase that Kratos smashed from GoW 2018, and it would've fit perfectly for the 20th anniversary theme
@j2c A white stick is definitely needed if you pay £75 for that.
Removed - inappropriate language
This is supposed to celebrate the 20 years anniversary for one of the most important and iconic PS franchises... how disappointing.
This is such a low effort design its almost funny. Almost.
Happy with my 30th anniversary controller but thanks anyway Sony.
Don’t forget guys: we get a logo on the back of the controller as well as a red stripe!!! Woohooo!!!
I already have a red controller and a white controller. So…..no?
I love GOW. I wish they had put more effort into this.
@RBMango Throw in the nose and you have yourself a deal!!!!!!
Yeah
This looks about right for modern day playstation.
@EYEBALL absolutely, got it for 105$ in my country.

No thanks. It looks fu**ing abysmal.
Sheesh, they are taking the p**s, lol. Take a look at the Witcher Xbox controller, that's how it's done
Rofl man G to the FO
Thanks but, uh, I have a nice red Sharpie and some white controllers so I can do this myself. But between this and the new 'rewards' program, Sony sure is knocking the cover off the ball lately! 🙄🤦🏽🤣
Lets be honest for a moment;
Unfortunately, it does look awfully lame.
Also;
design laziness is screaming very loudly.
I can not pretend that, it is a good design.
Because (unfortunately) it is not.
@j2c What about some Hammer of Thor shaped sticks? Now that right there!
Preferred the blue Ragnorak one with the wolf on the touch pad I missed out on a few years ago. Won't be getting this. Just got the 30th anniversary one to go with my white, Spiderman, and astro one so don't need any more
After seeing the level of design and customisation that the Astro Bot, PS 30th anniversary edition, and the ghost of Yotei controllers have had, this is a big downgrade.
This controller just screams, LOW EFFORT!!!
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@PixiebellGames Nice, I got the plates awhile back for 75 I think but I still want to get the pad.
Nah, I don't think I will.
I really like this controller, surprised at the responses. I don't need another pad so will skip, but I think it looks great personally.
LOL!
No THX!
The plainness of this controller is just to ridiculous for a game that basically made Playstation a brand name!
and the worst selling controller award goes to.......
