- As usual, the pad will cost $84.99 / £74.99

Sony has announced a brand-new variant of its DualSense wireless controller set to launch alongside 007 First Light this year.
The 007 First Light Limited Edition Dualsense controller will launch alongside the game on May 27, and pre-orders begin in a matter of days. Next week, in fact, on April 17.
As is usual for Sony's limited edition pads, it will cost you $84.99 / €84.99 / £74.99, and have all the excellent features we've come to know and love from the PS5 controller, from haptics to adaptive triggers and great PC compatibility.

Naturally, it's the design that's the star of the show here, and Rasmus Poulsen, Franchise Art Director on 007 First Light, states in a new PlayStation Blog post that "Every element of the DualSense design was crafted as a celebration of Bond’s return, blending legacy and modernity to create a controller that feels unmistakably 007 from the moment you see it."
At the core of that is the controller's shiny golden sheen finish that's punctuated and complemented by darker, black features.

The controller features the instantly recognisable 007 logo in the middle of the touch pad with strong lines radiating from it, across the pad. On the rear of the pad, among the sea of goldness, the 007 First Light name and tagline of 'Earn the number' are present.
I think it looks very slick and chic, and I simply must add it to my collection. I love limited edition PS5 hardware like this, and with 007 First Light being one of my most anticipated games of the year, this seems like the perfect way to celebrate it.
