Astro Bot DualSense Controller Coming Back
Remember that cool Astro Bot-themed DualSense controller that sold out everywhere? It’s making a comeback later this year. But here’s the interesting part: Sony says it’s coming back “with a new twist.”
They didn’t tell us exactly what this twist will be, but it sounds like the controller will have some changes to the touchpad design.
Sony announced all this news during their State of Play stream on Wednesday. It’s awesome to see Sony continuing to support Astro Bot with free content, especially after its Game of the Year win. The new challenge levels dropping on June 10th give fans something to look forward to right away. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to Astro’s world, these updates prove that the little robot’s adventure is far from over.
