In addition to the standard DualSense controller colors, Sony has released several limited edition controllers over the years. One of the most notable was the PlayStation 30th Anniversary collection, launched in November 2024 to celebrate the brand's milestone. This collection included a standard DualSense controller, PS5 Slim, PS5 Pro, PlayStation Portal, and DualSense Edge controller, all sporting the iconic grey color of the original PlayStation console.
While these special edition controllers can still be found, they often come at a premium due to their limited production. Besides the 30th Anniversary collection, Sony has also released limited edition DualSense controllers celebrating titles like God of War: Ragnarok, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Concord, Astro Bot, and most recently, The Last of Us.
