Sony is releasing a new special edition controller for users in the UK, and the Icon Blue model stands out for its distinct two-tone aesthetic. The Icon Blue Special Edition DualSense controller offers a distinct aesthetic alternative to the standard black and white models. Buyers who prefer custom peripherals will find this limited run available for pre-order starting late August.

Limited edition console peripheral arrives with distinct two-tone aesthetic

The product is officially named the Icon Blue Special Edition DualSense controller. Sony designed this unit with a dual-tone blue scheme that separates the functional inputs from the structural body. The touchpad features glossy PlayStation icons, while the thumbsticks are finished in a lighter blue shade. The handles and back panel use a darker blue tone to provide visual contrast.

Technical details include specific branding elements that define this special edition. The back of the controller displays the word PlayStation written in Katakana script. White markings on the D-pad and action buttons create a sharp visual separation against the blue buttons. The controller features a dual-tone blue design with Katakana branding while maintaining the standard DualSense wireless functionality.

Pricing for the UK market is expected to be £74.99, which converts to around $102. This price point aligns with previous limited edition DualSense releases, though official confirmation is still pending. PS Plus members can begin pre-ordering on August 25, while general pre-orders open on August 27 via direct.playstation.com. The controller will officially release on September 25.

We looked at Sony PS5 Digital Edition Gets Limited in our earlier Sony coverage. Sony has announced the UK availability of this special edition controller for the PlayStation 5. The release provides a concrete option for UK gamers seeking a specific aesthetic for their setup.
