If you picked upDeath Stranding 2: On the Beachlast week, you might want to check out this limited-edition DualSense controller based on the new Kojima Productions title. Announced back on May 8, theDeath Stranding 2: On the BeachLimited Edition DualSense Wireless Controller isnow available from PlayStation Direct for $85.
Like previous DualSense limited edition controllers, it’s exclusive to PlayStation Direct and is available in limited quantities. If you missed out on the pre-orders, this is the best time to grab one, as it may not be restocked once it sells out. At $85, it costs the same as other special-edition DualSense controllers like theThe Last of Usedition.
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach Limited Edition DualSense Controller
Sony worked with Kojima Productions to design the controller, so you’ll find special decals taken directly from the sequel. The biggest highlight is thevibrant orange Drawbridge logo and mottoon the touch pad, which is a direct reference to the new delivery company inDeath Stranding 2.
There are more orange accents on the grips and ablackDeath Stranding 2logoon the back, but that’s about it. The rest of the controller looks more or less the same as the Midnight Black DualSense, which has left some fans disappointed with the more plain look. It still looks slick, though it might struggle to win design awards when placed alongside more elaborate special editions like theAstro Bot controlleror even the Death Stranding PS4 one.
Death Stranding 2 PS5 DualSense Controller
Aside from the Death Stranding 2 paint job, you’re getting the same amazing PS5 DualSense controller withimmersive haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. It works with PCs and mobile devices as well through Bluetooth, and you might even enjoy the excellent haptics on select PC games. However, there are no Hall effect or TMR sensing joysticks here, meaning it’s still prone to getting stick drift.

What Are Your Alternatives?
Sony has released plenty of incredible limited-edition DualSense controllers in the past, with theAstro Botedition getting my vote as the best-looking PS5 controller. There’s also theHelldivers 2version, which shares the same stealthy black look as theDeath Stranding 2model. The only problem is that most of these controllers are nearly impossible to find in stock.
If you’re not into theDeath Stranding 2-themed design or are looking for more limited-edition DualSense controllers to add to your collection, theFortniteLimited Edition is your only option right now. Unlike the minimalistDeath Stranding 2controller, this one is overloaded with graffiti and vibrant colors, and it’s currentlyavailable for $85 from PS Direct.
