Sony has opened preorders for the long-rumored Helldivers 2 controller. Officially unveiled at The Game Awards earlier this month, the new DualSense wireless controller – Helldivers 2 Limited Edition features a stealth-looking design inspired by the game's iconic black and yellow colorway. Gamers looking to defend freedom and managed democracy in style can preorder the new Helldivers 2 controller now at PlayStation Direct.

The Helldivers 2 controller adds to the growing collection of PS5 controllers themed around popular games such as Astro Bot and Fortnite. Much like Astro Bot, Helldivers 2 is one of the biggest hits of 2024. It won the best multiplayer award at The Game Awards and received critical acclaim at launch. As our Gamerant review highlighted, Helldivers 2 thrives on its chaotic blend of dark humor and over-the-top action, and now with this new limited edition controller, players can dive even deeper into that experience, wielding a weapon as stylish as it is deadly.

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

The new Helldivers 2 Limited Edition DualSense Controller

Unlike other recent limited edition controllers, the Helldivers 2 DualSense 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 the Helldivers 2-themed paint job. Not a bad price to pay for the defense of Super Earth!

$85 at Playstation Store

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 the Astro 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 at Best Buy for $85, the same price as the upcoming Helldivers 2 controller.
