The Fortnite Limited-Edition DualSense Controller is now available for preorder at a price of $85. Originally slated for an October 3 preorder launch, the highly anticipated PS5 controller unexpectedly became available at select retailers earlier this week. While many retailers have sold out, the Fortnite-themed PlayStation controller is set to officially launch on November 7, anticipated to be a bestseller.
This striking controller features a vibrant blue color scheme with graffiti-style decals that pay homage to the game, making it a standout alternative to other standard controllers. Aside from its distinctive Fortnite design, it retains all the essential features of regular DualSense controllers, such as haptic feedback, dynamic triggers, touchpad, and gyro controls. With the recent price increase from PlayStation, this limited-edition option aligns with the new $85 price point for future special releases.
For those seeking Fortnite-themed gaming accessories beyond the DualSense controller, there are new wireless third-party gamepads available for Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Notably, PowerA offers a Peely-themed controller for the Switch that connects via Bluetooth and features remappable back buttons, previously released at $65.
Xbox and PC gamers can also explore PowerA’s newly launched limited-edition Fortnite controller, priced at $100, which boasts advanced features such as Hall Effect sticks and custom profiles, plus a bundled Tooth Pickaxe skin. Meanwhile, the more affordable OPS V1 Fortnite Edition controller for $55 comes with impressive specifications, including wireless connectivity options and additional skin bonuses.
In addition to Fortnite-themed peripherals, PlayStation’s upcoming Chroma Collection will be available for preorder on October 3, featuring controllers and console covers in iridescent colors. The Chroma controllers and PS5 Slim console covers will retail for $80 and $65, respectively, with some colors launching on November 7.
As November approaches, the gaming world prepares for a busy month, including the release of the PS5 Pro on November 7, along with PlayStation’s 30th Anniversary Collection hitting the shelves on November 21. Limited-edition consoles and controllers are expected to be in high demand, highlighting the continued excitement in the gaming community.
