Last year, Sony dropped an Astro Bot-themed PS5 DualSense controller that became a massive hit. It sold out faster than many Game of the Year fans could snag one. Listening to their audience, Sony is launching a similar release: the Astro Bot Joyful Limited Edition DualSense PS5 Controller, arriving on October 30. Preorders are now open at all major retailers (check it out at Walmart) for $84.99. If you’re interested, grab yours soon—if past trends hold true, stock won’t last long.

This new edition mirrors the previous design but, as its name suggests, features eyes on the touchpad that form a smile this time around.
Note that unlike what’s shown in the trailer, the eyes don’t animate. They are simply printed on the touchpad to look joyful.
