You know Sony considers a game a big deal if it gets its very own custom DualSense controller, and the latest title to receive that honour is 007 First Light.
Yes, IO Interactive's upcoming James Bond action adventure game is getting a special, limited edition PS5 pad, and here it is:
The 007 First Light controller is decked out with a gold and black colour scheme, which matches the key art for the game itself, while there are lines leading to the touch pad that are clearly inspired by the iconic gun barrel sequence you see at the start of every Bond flick. Completing the design is the 007 logo on the touch pad.
The controller is "a celebration of Bond’s return" to gaming, says the game's art director Rasmus Poulsen. "The golden finish pays tribute to the elegance, legacy, and timeless style of the franchise, while the barrel-inspired detailing reflects the themes of the game and how it feels to play it, as well as being a nod to one of pop culture’s most recognizable visual signatures."
Available in limited quantities, the controller will be up for pre-order on 17th April 2026, and it launches day and date with the game on 27th May.

Looks nice. Can't go wrong with that colour scheme
I honestly don’t think it needs the lines and the barrel. It’s a bit overdesigned. Just that gold finish and the 007 logo would be perfect.
Saw a YouTube comment, "Dr. No battery life," which made me laugh. Good stuff.
Man this takes me back. When I was younger I got the GoldenEye 64 bundle and it came with a gold controller which I loved.
Dayuuuum that’s nice
Amazing work on that thumbnail.
Looks nice but would have been better if it didn't say first light on it.
I'm a sucker for gold controllers. But that big ass '007' in the center just ruins it for me...
I agree with @nessisonett the colour scheme alone would have been enough. It would have been like a call out the N64 pad. The barrel and especially the lines just look like they are there for the sake of it and are a bit much for me.
This looks like ass to me. Sony needs to be a bit more adventurous with their colour schemes for Dual Sense controllers - Its always Gold/white/blue/black - we need some more creative designs.
Oh boy, here we go again… of course, I want it!
The Man with the Golden Bling more like it.
That's actually not hideous.
Noice. I'll try to snag one.
I'll stick to the base PS5 controller until they release a Zelda Dual sense.
A cleaner look fits the Bond brand better, just keep the 007 logo in the touch pad and let the gold/black colors make the statement. Having the game's name in the back seems mandatory for some reason, which is fine I guess.
Great work on the header image!
"You'll need to charge this frequently, Bond."
looks pretty rad to me . and the lines and barrel remind me of all those bank holiday Bond films where he shoots the screen . awesome
I'm a fan, and since my son spilled a drink on my Spidey DualSense I need an excuse for a limited edition one that isn't quite as sticky...
