Sony to release limited edition Last of Us controller
The DualSense wireless controller, officially named The Last of Us Limited Edition, features a black-and-white design with glossy trophy icons representing significant moments, characters, and events from both games. Key images include the Fireflies’ spray-painted logo from Part 1, alongside a moth and wolf symbolizing the relationship between Ellie and Abby in Part 2.
Naughty Dog stated, “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 TLOU fans: The firefly, moth, and wolf.”

The Last of Us DualSense controller will retail for $84.99 USD, €84.99, or £74.99, depending on the region.

Pre-order availability is restricted to certain countries in Europe including the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, with no confirmation for other regions.

This controller release coincides with broader developments surrounding The Last of Us franchise, including the anticipated launch of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on PC, which will be available on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Concurrently, the second season of the HBO adaptation aims to bring the story to an even larger audience.
Naughty Dog’s co-president Neil Druckmann recently indicated that there may not be a The Last of Us Part 3, stating, “don’t bet” on the existence of a sequel, despite not completely ruling it out. Druckmann also acknowledged that the storyline felt complete with the previous game and that both he and Naughty Dog are focused on new projects post-TV series.
