Just as every secret agent carries their signature weapon, every player has a signature controller. Today, we’re excited to share a first look at the new DualSense wireless controller – 007 First Light Limited Edition.
Featuring a golden sheen and radiant barrel design, the controller frames James Bond’s iconic codename and weapon on the DualSense wireless controller touchpad.
“With this 007 First Light controller, we saw an opportunity to welcome James Bond back to gaming after more than 13 years in a way that felt instantly iconic. The golden finish pays tribute to the elegance, legacy, and timeless style of the franchise, while the barrel-inspired detailing reflects the themes of the game and how it feels to play it, as well as being a nod to one of pop culture’s most recognizable visual signatures. Every element of the DualSense design was crafted as a celebration of Bond’s return, blending legacy and modernity to create a controller that feels unmistakably 007 from the moment you see it.”
-Rasmus Poulsen, Franchise Art Director on 007 First Light
The DualSense wireless controller – 007 First Light Limited Edition will be available in limited quantities globally for a recommended retail price of $84.99 USD/ ¥12,480 (including tax) / €84.99/ £74.99. Actual retailer prices may vary.
Pre-orders begin on April 17 at 10 am local time at direct.playstation.com (where available), as well as participating retailers. The exact launch date and availability for the controller may vary by country/region.
The new controller launches starting on May 27 alongside 007 First Light for PS5, where players take on the role of a young Bond at the very beginning of his journey in this standalone, re-imagined origin story for video games, navigating a world of global intrigue and earning his codename. The DualSense wireless controller’s adaptive triggers deliver precise responsiveness during gunfights, while haptic feedback places you in the middle of the action during explosive set pieces from the game.
