Genshin Impact PS5 controller pre-orders live build-up — all the best links and information ahead of the Limited Edition DualSense dropping tomorrow

Until tomorrow!

Right, we're in position now, and we've covered all the key information and the links on this page are still the best ones I can find so still bookmark those until it all starts kicking off tomorrow!

I'll be covering the pre-order situation all day tomorrow and will catch you bright and early to get things going!

Ta-ta for now!

Oh! More key info - when does it come out?

I realise I forgot this bit of key info among the rest: the release date.

And it is key because it's staggered a little. The Genshin Impact PS5 controller comes out first in Asia, on January 21, 2026, while it comes out in the rest of the world on February 25, 2026.

Important to know!

But does that mean you shouldn't pre-order?

I'm hopeful of stock levels, but I, naturally, can't guarantee anything, and it always pays to be cautious - and in this context that will likely mean committing to a pre-order to ensure you get your unit, rather than leaving it to chance when the pad releases into the wild.

Speaking of which...

Will there be stock problems?

Now this is a great question and thing to consider before the launch of pre-orders on any new bit of Sony hardware - especially if it's limited edition.

I'd like to think that even Sony would use the term limited edition accurately, so this does imply that there will be only a set amount going up for sale - and that might be it.

However, given it's not a PlayStation Direct exclusive, and multiple retailers will therefore be stocking the controller, I reckon we won't be faring too badly come tomorrow.

What happened last time?

The last time we had a Limited Edition DualSense release - not that long ago to be frank - it was a relatively stable affair - which was surprising!

In the UK, however, HMV went early - the day early - so I'll be keeping an eye on them in particular.

In the US, every retailer seemed to play ball, and PS Direct was the first, best bet, and then everyone else followed suit.

What about that design, hey?

In terms of the specifics of the design of the controller, it really does encapsulate Genshin Impact wonderfully.

Sony say it "features an ethereal white, gold, and green palette adorned with arcane glyphs of a fantasy realm, including emblems of Traveler Twins Aether and Lumine and their trusted companion guide, Paimon."

The overall colorway and aesthetic, and even from a non-fan like me, is a beauty too, with a lovely mix of white, gold and green. Give it to me now!

Key info - How much is it?

In excellent news, the Genshin Impact PS5 controller will cost the same as previous limited edition pads. That is to say, it'll cost the following:

- $84.99 in the US

- £74.99 in the UK

Key info - where can I buy it?

It's the usual suspects this time, as this one is not a PlayStation Direct exclusive - huzzah!

However, for folks in the US and UK, I still recommend starting at PS Direct first before rolling onto the other, regular retailers. Here are some links for convenience.

Key info - when can I buy it?

Right, cutting to it, pre-orders for the Genshin Impact PS5 controller start tomorrow at 10am local time.

That's 10am GMT in the UK, and 10am Eastern Time in the US, to clarify. Europe will also go at 10am local time (so one hour ahead of the UK).

A familiar pattern - of hardware launches

Right, let's get to the key information for this latest DualSense release.

This launch will largely follow suit and fall in line with previous launches, so it should all be familiar.

It's a looker!
