Limited Edition Gran Turismo PS5 Controller Preorder
A milestone worthy of celebration is on the horizon for racing enthusiasts. As the original Gran Turismo game marks three decades since its launch on the PlayStation 1, Sony is stepping up to commemorate this incredible journey with a highly anticipated limited-edition accessory for the PlayStation 5.
Get ready to celebrate the legacy with the new Gran Turismo limited-edition DualSense controller. This special edition isn’t just a peripheral; it’s a tangible tribute to the rich history of racing simulation, designed to honor the vision of the long-running game series from Polyphony Digital and Kazunori Yamauchi.
The design itself is a masterclass in automotive elegance. The controller features a sleek, high-quality front plate with a textured, carbon-fiber-style finish that exudes a sheen of sophistication. While some trailers show bold red and blue stripes, the physical controller opts for a more chromatically subdued, refined aesthetic. It features subtle design touches, including black racing stripes spanning the Touch Pad and distinctive symbols on the grips, notably a circled “30” marking the anniversary.
Despite the refined look, the controller retains all the cutting-edge functionality of the standard DualSense. It delivers the full sensory experience of the PS5, complete with advanced adaptive triggers for force feedback, immersive haptic feedback, a built-in microphone, and a headset jack. This means the celebration comes bundled with next-generation gaming technology.
This commemorative piece beautifully bridges the gap between gaming history and future innovation. Kazunori Yamauchi, the CEO of Polyphony Digital Inc., shared his sentiments about the release, noting that the controller celebrates the shared journey and expresses deep gratitude to everyone whose passion continues to inspire the development of the automotive simulation genre.
The limited-edition controller is set to be available for preorder soon and will release on December 10. Fans can look forward to this exclusive piece, priced at $84.99, available through various retailers.
Adding to the excitement around exclusive gaming hardware, other limited-edition options are also making their way to the market, including special controllers for other major titles and various colorways for the DualSense, ensuring there is a rich selection of ways to celebrate the love of gaming and racing.
