Sony has subtly hiked the price of the PS5 DualSense controller, and it seems like the news slipped under the radar. While the company hasn’t made any official announcements, shoppers around the globe are seeing the price tags creep up.
From the sleek White and the eye-catching Galactic Purple to the vibrant Cosmic Red and the understated Midnight Black, all standard DualSense controllers have jumped from $69.99 to $74.99. If you’re eyeing one of the fancier colors like Sterling Silver, Cobalt Blue, or Volcanic Red, you’ll now need to fork out $79.99, up from $74.99.
This price bump isn’t just happening in the U.S. Retailers in the UK have slapped an additional £5 on their DualSense controllers, while in Australia, the cost has climbed by $10. Interestingly, there’s no word yet on any price changes for the PlayStation 5 console itself, so if you’re just after a new controller, brace yourself for this unexpected expense.
