The Icon Blue Special Edition gives the peripheral a dramatic makeover, wrapping it in a layered blue hue, and will go on sale on October 20th, available for pre-order exclusively from Walmart for $85.
The peripheral's color scheme is inspired by the iconic blue glow of the PS5 console when it is powered on, and according to Sony designer Leo Cardoso, the design aims to capture the “feeling of anticipation and wonder” every time the console is turned on. Other small details include the katakana characters on the back and the PlayStation shape on the D-pad.
