Sony and Blackpink’s Lisa Reveal $84.99 Limited Edition DualSense Controller

Sony is teaming up with Blackpink member Lisa for a limited edition DualSense wireless controller featuring a Chrome Pearl finish, custom artwork and the artist’s signature.

The Lisa Limited Edition controller will cost $84.99 in the US and £74.99 in the UK. Preorders are scheduled to open on October 2 at 10 am local time through PlayStation’s direct sales channels.

The supplied information contains conflicting launch dates. The article headline states October 30, while the main body says the controller will launch on October 20. Buyers may want to confirm the final release date once Sony updates its store listing.

Lisa helped shape the controller design

The controller uses Chrome Pearl, described as one of Lisa’s personal favorite colors, as its base finish.

Sony says it worked closely with the Thai artist to include details with personal meaning. Lisa also said the design process included small touches intended specifically for fans.

One of the most visible additions is her signature on the back of the controller.

The touchpad features custom illustration work, while the overall design uses a more decorative appearance than Sony’s standard DualSense models.

The hardware itself appears to be based on the regular DualSense rather than a new controller specification, so the main differences are cosmetic.

That means you can expect the familiar DualSense features, including adaptive triggers, haptic feedback and the standard PS5 control layout.

Matching accessories are also coming

The controller is only one part of a larger Lisa and PlayStation merchandise collection.

Sony plans to sell a matching DualSense carrying case that uses the same artwork featured on the controller’s touchpad.

Other merchandise includes clothing, tote bags, keychains and stickers.

The carrying case will not be bundled with the $84.99 controller and must be purchased separately.

Additional merchandise is expected to become available directly through PlayStation on October 2 at 10 am ET. A later release through Lisa’s Amazon storefront is planned for October 23.

Those dates apply to merchandise availability and should not necessarily be treated as the confirmed controller launch date, particularly because the supplied article gives two different dates for the controller itself.

Limited quantities could make preorders important

Sony describes the controller as a limited edition product, so availability may be restricted.

Recent special edition DualSense releases have often attracted collectors alongside normal PS5 owners, and the Lisa collaboration adds a large music fanbase to that potential demand.

That could make the October 2 preorder opening particularly important for anyone who wants the controller at its standard retail price.

The collaboration also continues Sony’s recent push toward special edition DualSense designs tied to entertainment properties, games and artists.

For Blackpink and Lisa fans, however, this release is more personalized than a simple color variation because the artist was involved in choosing design details and the controller includes her signature.

The Lisa Limited Edition DualSense will be priced at $84.99 in the US and £74.99 in the UK, with preorders opening October 2. Sony’s final retail listing should clarify whether the controller itself launches on October 20 or October 30.
