TheHelldivers 2controller adds to the growing collection of PS5 controllers themed around popular games such asAstro BotandFortnite. Much likeAstro Bot,Helldivers 2is one of the biggest hits of 2024. It wonthe best multiplayer awardat The Game Awards and received critical acclaim at launch.

DualSense Wireless Controller - Helldivers 2 Limited Edition
The controller brings beautiful artwork inspired by the game’s color scheme and Super-Earth’s military. It has a unique, weathered black paint job with yellow and gray accents on the grips, much like the battle-scarred armor worn by Helldivers. A Helldivers skull logo adorns the touchpad, and you’ll see multiple Stratagem arrows around the D-pad. It’s one of the best-looking DualSense controllers, especially if you’re into that gritty, battle-hardened aesthetic.
Under the beautiful paint job, you’re also getting all the advanced features of the standard DualSense controller. It works with both PS5 consoles and PC and supports haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for added immersion when gaming. Feel the recoil of your weapons and the tension of your bowstring with immersive haptic feedback, and experience varying levels of resistance with adaptive triggers that simulate different weapon types. While primarily targeted at Helldivers 2 players, you can still use it to play just about any PS5 or PC game that supports controllers.
Where to Preorder the Helldivers 2 DualSense Controller
Unlike other recent limited edition controllers, theHelldivers 2DualSense Controller appears to be a PlayStation Direct exclusive product. You can preorder it directly from the PS Direct store for $85, with shipping expected on the 6th of February next year. With the regular DualSense controller available for $75, you’re paying a $10 premium for theHelldivers 2-themed paint job. Not a bad price to pay for the defense of Super Earth!

Sony has been on a roll this year, expanding its DualSense controller lineup with a barrage of limited editions and eye-catching colorways.
I’m still obsessed with theAstro Bot controller; its sleek design and innovative use of DualSense’s features in the game are simply stellar.
Unfortunately, it is mostly sold out everywhere. If you’re looking to add another limited edition gamepad to your collection, the recently released Fortnite edition is available atBest Buyfor $85, the same price as the upcomingHelldivers 2controller.
