New PS5 controller follows Astro both in and out of the game

As a long-time PlayStation gamer with a soft spot for robot adventures, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about Astro Bot: I’ll be embarking on this new journey alongside my robotic companion in September, and I couldn’t be more eager! The little bot won’t face the challenges of the PlayStation 5 world alone; instead, a familiar gadget will join him – the trusty DualShock controller.

As a long-time fan of the Astro series, I’m thrilled to share my excitement about the latest innovation from Team Asobi – the new controller with a stunning design that perfectly aligns with Astro’s color scheme. The controller is predominantly white, but the blue accents add a pop of vibrant color that instantly evokes the feel of the game world.

Additionally, the adaptive triggers aren’t just standalone features. They work in tandem with haptic feedback, enhancing the gaming experience by simulating various sensations. For instance, when using Barkster as a jetpack, you’ll sense the vibration of the thrusters. Similarly, employing your powers during boss fights, like Dual Speeder’s gadget, will provide you with distinct tactile feedback for an added boost.
