Astro Bot's DualSense Returns

Astro Bot, a title that also won Game Of The Year at the last Video Game Awards, has definitively cemented the friendly robot Astro as the mascot of PS5: when Sony released a themed DualSense controller last year, it literally flew off the shelves – partly due to the unwelcome activity of the usual scalpers.

However, for anyone wishing to purchase the peripheral with the robot's eyes, good news has arrived: Sony has announced that the controller will return to shelves on October 30th, with pre-orders opening on official channels and distribution partners starting September 12th.

Astro Bot returns with a new delightful twist!
