As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming experiences under my belt and countless controllers worn out from marathon sessions, I must say that the delay in the delivery of the limited edition Astro Bot DualSense controller is a bit disheartening. I’ve been eagerly waiting for this controller since its announcement, not just because it’s sleek design perfectly complements my gaming setup, but also because I want to fully immerse myself in the captivating world of Astro Bot using this controller.


As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve been blown away by the almost flawless critiques that Astro Bot from Sony has garnered. This little bot seems to be in the running for Game of the Year alongside the highly anticipated Black Myth: Wukong. I can hardly wait to dive into these incredible games!

On September 6, the game was launched, and alongside it, a special DualSense controller inspired by the game’s Dual Speeder design became available. This unique controller had been open for pre-orders since August 9.

Currently, several Astro Bot enthusiasts who pre-ordered the controller are still waiting for any shipping notifications on their orders, nearly three days since the game’s release.

The controller lag issue has been a common complaint among players, as it was first brought up on the official game forum (subreddit).

Different retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart have sent messages to numerous customers who pre-ordered game controllers, advising them that the delivery of these items has been postponed indefinitely.

The game Astro Bot effectively makes use of the PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller and haptic feedback for an enjoyable and challenging gaming experience. It’s no surprise that numerous enthusiasts are keen on experiencing this game with the special edition controller.

Some enthusiasts find themselves puzzled after reaching out to their local stores and delivery services because they haven’t been given any definite timeframes regarding when their orders will be delivered.

It appears that the delivery delays affecting large stores might be linked to shortages, as there’s currently no information available on when these hold-ups will end and shipping dates will be confirmed.

The third installment in the Astro Bot series is what we have now, with its predecessors being offered as demo games for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 to showcase their DualShock and DualSense controllers’ capabilities. The Astro Bot series has received overwhelmingly positive reviews, earning a perfect 100% critic recommendation score on OpenCritic.

Although the game is fun, Astro Bot enthusiasts must exercise patience till they get to manipulate Astro Bot using a controller of their own, sporting blue and white hues.
