The Last Of Us Limited-Edition PS5 Controller Preorders Restocked At Major Retailers

PlayStation's special-edition DualSense Controller themed around The Last of Us releases April 10, three days before Season 2 premieres on HBO

After selling out almost instantly when preorders opened on March 14, The Last of Us Limited Edition DualSense Controller is back in stock at two major retailers. As of March 17 at 2 PM PT, Target and Best Buy are taking preorders again, but the special-edition PS5 controller remains out of stock at Amazon and Walmart. It appears that the bulk of the stock will be sold by PlayStation itself, as the controller is still available to order at PS Direct despite being such a hot commodity at major retailers. The Last of Us-themed DualSense Controller releases April 10, three days before Season 2 of the TV adaptation airs on HBO.

The Last of Us DualSense Controller Preorders:

Target - In stock
PlayStation Direct - In stock
Best Buy - In stock
Walmart - Sold out
GameStop - In stock | Pro members only
Amazon - Sold out

Designed with a black and white color scheme, the controller is adorned with various icons and emblems representing different events and characters from the game. The bottom half of the controller (including both analog sticks) is a brilliant white, while the top half (including the face buttons and D-pad) is black. You’ll get a pop of white on the triggers and on "The Last of Us" text emblazoned on its back. Fans will also notice several easter eggs scattered around the gamepad's surface, including a firefly, moth, and wolf printed on the controller, referencing the Fireflles organization and the characters Ellie and Abby.

It’s a good-looking controller by all accounts, and it’s bound to be just as popular as previous limited-edition models from PlayStation.

Sony has released several other limited-edition DualSense controllers, including version based on Astro Bot, Spider-Man, God of War, Concord, and more. While most of these are sold out, you can still grab the official Helldivers 2 DualSense and Fortnite DualSense controllers for $85 each. Like the new Last of Us controller, these gamepads feature unique color schemes and decals themed after the games they're based on.
