Where to pre-order the Limited Edition Last of Us DualSense controller today

Survivors, Fireflies, Scars, and even Clickers may be wondering where to pre-order the Limited Edition Last of Us DualSense controller today, and I'm here to help. The gamepad is now available in the UK and US, and PlayStation Direct is the first port of call to secure one. In the US, I'm seeing other big retailers show listing pages for the new controller, but none are letting you add it to your cart yet, so keep your eyes peeled for those going live. In the UK, PlayStation Direct and Currys seem to be the best places to go.

• UK: Limited Edition Last of Us DualSense | Pre-order now at Currys

The Limited Edition Last of Us DualSense controller will be available for pre-order at 10am local time on March 14, regardless of your region. Since this PS5 controller takes its name from one of the most popular gaming franchises ever, it's no surprise that they're flying off the shelves. If you're in the US, be ready to grab yours at 10am whatever time zone you find yourself in. It definitely seems like season 2 of the HBO adaption is bringing in renewed interest, so expect some tough competition.

The Limited Edition Last of Us DualSense controller will set you back $84.99 if you're in the US and £74.99 in the UK. Sony's announcement said that for sure pre-orders will launch at PlayStation's Direct virtual store, but the UK's shop has been strangely quiet in the UK so far. The announcement also mentions "participating retailers". This is the important bit since if stock disappears rapidly over at PlayStation's website in the US, you'll want to race to your next source of stock before it vanishes too. For a full rundown of the retailers that will likely be in play, check out the list I've pulled together below.

I'll be updating this page today as and when pre-orders go live. I'll put handy links next to each retailer I mention below so that you can use this page as a guide to quickly navigate between them. The controller itself will launch on April 10 in most regions, although depending on where you're based, your controller could arrive later. Season 2 of the HBO series airs on Max on April 13, so you should get your controller right on time for a fresh playthrough of the second Naughty Dog game. Speaking of which, The Last of Us Remastered for PC launches on April 3, so all these launches are linking up with one another.

The Last of Us DualSense pre-orders in the US

✅ PlayStation Direct Store | Pre-order now

The Last of Us DualSense is available now at PlayStation Direct, although you may need to wait in a queue to get your pre-order. The page also says you'll need your PSN account and Sign-in details handy to ensure you checkout in time to get one.

✅ Amazon | Pre-order now

Amazon's stock has just gone live. You can add the new DualSense variant to your cart and checkout, so go go go! It isn't all that common to see Amazon stocking pre-orders for a limited edition PS5 controller on the day they become available, so hopefully it has a decent stock pile.

✅ Walmart | Check Stock

Walmart is packing stock of the new DualSense, so if you don't have success with PlayStation Direct, jump here first.

✅ Best Buy | Check Stock

Best Buy is stocking the new DualSense as well, although for me, the buy button is greyed out and says "coming soon". I'd keep your eyes peeled for stock becoming available, because it could be gone in a flash once its live.

The Last of Us DualSense pre-orders in the UK

✅ PlayStation Direct | Pre-order now

PlayStation Direct was slow on the uptake today, but it's now showing stock of the latest limited edition DualSense for its £74.99 price tag. Given how quickly stock has disappeared so far, I'd act quickly if you want to secure one.

✅ Currys | Pre-order now

Following some retailers losing stock immediately this morning, Currys has come to the rescue and is now showing pre-orders for the Last of Us Limited Edition DualSense. There are also opportunities for bundles here too, if you're looking to grab some extras.

❌ Very | Check stock

Very was surprisingly quick with its UK stock this morning, and after a brief refresh, it's run out again. This may be a good one to check back with as the days and weeks run on, but this controller is in high demand so buy fast if you see it.

❌ Amazon | Check Stock

For once, Amazon had pre-order stock for a limited edition DualSense from the word go! It's now saying "currently unavailable" on the listing though, so this is somewhere to check back with in case they refresh a new batch.

Argos | Check Stock

Argos is surprisingly reliable with new DualSense launches, and it's the second place I'd visit if stock dries up at PlayStation Direct.

GAME | Check Stock

GAME has stocked the last few Limited Edition DualSense controllers, so it could be a decent place to check this time around if all else fails.

Should you buy the Limited Edition Last of Us DualSense controller?

For how lovely and detailed its design is, the new Limited Edition DualSense doesn't have any extra features from your stock PS5 pad that came with the console. The DualSense Edge is the controller to go for if you fancy a bit more utility in that respect, although there are also plenty of third-party PS5 controllers that are so good that they appear on our best PC controller list too.

While the benefits here are all in the looks department, I can't blame any The Last of Us fan for wanting to get a hold of one of these limited edition gamepads. Compared to the Helldivers 2 edition, this one has a more subtle look about it, and although it has loads of details you can admire close up, its simple black and white design looks right at home with the PS5 and PS5 Pro's aesthetics.

Admittedly, you will need to pay a little extra for the privilege of adding this to your DualSense collection though. The regular DualSense colors may not cost you as much, so if you're looking for a replacement and you're not married to this Limited Edition model, there are other alternatives to opt for.
