The Last of Us limited edition PS5 controller will drop next month
Sony has revealed a first look at a brand new limited edition PS5 controller, and this one is The Last of Us -themed.
The Last of Us is a post-apocalyptic action adventure gaming franchise (developed by PlayStation-owned studio Naughty Dog) that has also been adapted into a hit TV series by HBO.
Fans of the franchise will be pleased to know the second season of the TV show airs on 13 April, while The Last of Us Part II Remastered releases on PC on 3 April.
Plus, Sony's new limited edition The Last of Us DualSense wireless controller is about to be released to tie in with all of that. Keep reading to find out more, from design and price to the launch date.
PS5 'The Last of Us' DualSense controller design
The new controller is primarily black with white trim, and has The Last of Us logo clearly displayed on the back. There are also loads of trophy icons in black gloss, along with three white icons that really stand out and have significant meaning for fans.
'We were excited by the chance to memorialise The Last of Us franchise in a controller that fans and our own team would love,' Naughty Dog head of studio and head of creative Neil Druckmann, and graphic designer Megan Mehran shared in a joint statement. 'We wanted to ensure that both instalments of The Last of Us are represented, via trophy icons printed in black gloss across the controller body.
'Among the trophies, three particular images will immediately stand out for The Last of Us fans: the firefly, moth and wolf.
'Players will recognise the Fireflies' iconic spray-painted logo that originated in Part I, while the moth and wolf represent the intertwining lives and duality between Ellie and Abby in Part II.'
PS5 'The Last of Us' DualSense controller price
The controller will retail at £74.99 ($84.99, €84.99) with pre-orders going live in the UK at 10am on 14 March (7am PT in the US) at Playstation.com, and at participating third-party retailers.
The controllers are due to launch fully on 10 April but the exact date and availability may vary by country or region.

Katherine Parkinson joins cast for new Harry Potter TV series
The IT Crowd star will join the HBO TV show of the popular fantasy novel series to play Molly Weasley, the mother of Ron Weasley. Parkinson also starred in the hit Disney+ series Rivals, for which she received a supporting actress Bafta TV nomination for her role as Lizzie Vereker. Joining the cast alongside Parkinson is actor and musician Johnny Flynn, who is best known for playing Mr Knightley in the 2020 film Emma. The 42-year-old will portray antagonist Lucius Malfoy, while The Diary Of A Teenage Girl star Bel Powley will play Petunia Dursley, the aunt of Harry Potter who takes him in and forces him to live under the stairs following his parents' death. Each season of the show will be a faithful adaptation of the Harry Potter books, from author and executive producer JK Rowling. This follows from the popular film adaptations that starred Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint as the protagonists. Actor and comedian Daniel Rigby will also join the cast to play Petunia's husband, Vernon Dursley, while The Crown's Bertie Carvel will portray Cornelius Fudge. School bully Draco Malfoy, who was played in the films by Tom Felton, who is set to reprise the role in the Harry Potter And The Cursed Child play on Broadway, will be portrayed by Lox Pratt. Hogwarts students will include newcomers Leo Earley as Seamus Finnigan, Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil and Sienna Moosah as Lavender Brown. The young stars cast to play Harry, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley were announced recently. Dominic McLaughlin will take the part of Harry, Arabella Stanton will play Hermione and Alastair Stout is cast as Ron. British actor Paapa Essiedu and US star John Lithgow were also confirmed as Professor Severus Snape and Hogwarts headmaster Professor Albus Dumbledore, respectively. The cast also includes Welsh comedian and actor Paul Whitehouse as the magic-less Hogwarts caretaker Argus Filch and Hot Fuzz actor Nick Frost as the friendly groundskeeper Rubeus Hagrid. Production will begin at Warner Bros Studios Leavesden in summer 2025.

Summer Games Fest 2025: not enough racing games, but some reveals turned our heads
When you post something on social media, you don't tell everyone about all the holidays, nice dinners and weddings you'll be attending for the next two years. The trailers you see in the cinema are generally for a handful of upcoming movies you might want to watch in the next month. Meanwhile, over in the games industry, in the last three days we've been shown every game in existence from now until the heat death of the universe. But aside from that opening salvo, we're not here to question the wisdom of an annual event which blurts out more titles than anyone could possibly pay attention to or remember. No, instead we're going to sift out the good stuff. If you missed our roundup of PlayStation's State of Play showcase, you can find that here. Sadly it wasn't a big one for racing games. In fact we counted a grand total of one to add to our radar, but the other genres fared better, so these are the titles that caught our eye during Summer Games Fest 2025. That means there are approximately 3,000 games that won't be mentioned here, but it doesn't mean that they won't be good games or that we think you're wrong if you liked them. It's just that this is the year 2025, and ruthless economy of attention is required in order to survive and go about our lives.
