Victrix, the brand behind some of the best video game controllers on the market, has announced a special limited edition version of its PS5 pro controller, the Victrix Pro BFG, and it's a collaboration with Call of Duty.

Officially dubbed the Las Almas Pro BFG Wireless Controller, it's a new black and gold livery of what we deem the best PS5 controller on the shelves at the moment. In our Victrix Pro BFG review, we found it was highly versatile, offered amazing performance thanks to its back buttons and modular design, and provided the best value out of the other officially licensed PS5 gamepads. 

Victrix has told us that this new special edition controller will only be available in limited quantities on the Victrix site, so Call of Duty enthusiasts should be quick on the draw if they like the design. 

This new design does drive up the price of the Victrix Pro BFG a bit, pushing it from its usual $179.99 / £179.99 to $199.99. Unfortunately for UK CoD players, it seems to only be available to reserve in the US.

This limited-edition version of our favorite controller across all platforms is now available to reserve through Victrix's own website. It will no doubt be a popular item, especially considering that Victrix Pro BFG stock doesn't stick around for too long. If you like what you see, it's worth getting yours ASAP.

In our Victrix Pro BFG review, we said: "If you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup. If you put water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. In the same way, whatever gaming task I put the Victrix Pro BFG to, it became the best controller for the job because it offered me truly optimum performance." It's also compatible with PS4 and PC, which puts it right up at the top of our best PC controllers list as well.

The collaboration between Victrix and Call of Duty on this controller looks to be inspired by the Las Almas cartel, which makes up some of the key antagonists in Modern Warfare 2's campaign.

In recent months especially, there's been a lot of speculation that a new Warzone map of the same name is coming to Call of Duty at some point in the future, either as a Warzone 2 map or in Call of Duty 2023. As of yet, nothing has been confirmed about a Las Almas multiplayer map Could this flashy new controller design hint at an announcement coming soon?


Call of Duty isn't the only game that gets limited edition controllers. For more, check out the best Xbox series X controllers, the best racing wheels for PC, and the best PS4 controllers.

Ever since playing Journey at the age of 15, I’ve been desperate to cover video games for a living. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship over at Expert Reviews. Besides that, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel and Podcast for the last 7 years. It’s been a long road, but all that experience somehow landed me a dream job covering gaming hardware. I’m a self-confessing PlayStation fanboy, but my experience covering the larger business and developer side of the whole industry has given me a strong knowledge of all platforms. When I’m not testing out every peripheral I can get my hands on, I’m probably either playing tennis or dissecting game design for an upcoming video essay. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension. Location: UK Remote
