Sony says this controller “pays tribute to The Real Driving Simulator,” a nickname for the long-running video game series from Polyphony Digital and Kazunori Yamauchi. It’s certainly a sleek-looking design. It features a textured, carbon-fiber-style front plate that looks super high quality and gives it a sheen of elegance.

Although the controller’s trailer features prominent red and blue stripes, the actual controller is more chromatically subdued. It does have two racing stripes spanning the Touch Pad vertically, but they’re black. The face buttons are gray-on-black, as are the tiny arrows on the D-pad.

The controller does have just a touch of color in the two rectangles above the Gran Turismo branding below the D-pad, and on a pair of symbols on the Touch Pad. Other racing imagery can be found on the grips as well, including a circled “30,” no doubt in reference to the anniversary.

Aside from the design, it’s a standard PS5 DualSense controller, capable of all the same things the controller can do. It has adaptive triggers with force feedback, haptic feedback, a built-in microphone and headset jack, and more. It’s compatible with PS5 of course, but also with PC, Mac, and mobile devices.

Kazunori Yamauchi, aka “Kaz,” the CEO of Polyphony Digital Inc., wrote about the controller, “Thirty years ago, Gran Turismo began with a vision to share the beauty and joy of the automobile. This commemorative controller celebrates the journey we have shared together, and I am deeply grateful to everyone whose passion continues to inspire us.”

This isn’t the only fancy new PS5 controller design that’s currently available for preorder. You can also pick up a Grand Theft Auto 6 limited-edition PS5 DualSense controller, coming out on November 19 alongside the game. And you can see every color of PS5 DualSense controller available as well.
