Preorders for several upcoming PS5 controllers went live today, October 3, including the Fortnite Limited-Edition DualSense Wireless Controller. The $85 controller is currently available to preorder at Walmart and Target. If you're interested, you'll want to snag it soon, as preorders have already sold out at Amazon, and Walmart sold out of its initial batch before restocking the controller.

The Fortnite-themed controller releases November 7 alongside two controllers from PlayStation's new Chroma Collection: Chroma Pearl DualSense ($80) and Chroma Indigo DualSense ($80). Meanwhile, the Chroma Teal DualSense ($80) releases January 23.

It has a blue color scheme and graffiti-style decals inspired by the game. The Fortnite controller certainly stands out with a chaotic design that's the complete opposite of the recently released Astro Bot DualSense.

Aside from the Fortnite theming, the controller is otherwise the same as other standard DualSense controllers, complete with features like haptic feedback, dynamic triggers, touchpad, and gyro controls. PlayStation recently raised the price of DualSense controllers by five bucks, and the Fortnite controller reflects this change with an $85 list price. The Astro Bot controller only costs $80 (if you can find it), probably because preorders were already available when the increase went into effect. Going forward, limited-edition DualSense controllers will likely cost $85.

More Fortnite controllers

If you're interested in the Fortnite DualSense controller but aren't able to get one, there are new wireless third-party gamepads with official Fortnite themes for Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Two of them also happen to have very busy designs.

Despite its bright yellow design, the Peely-themed wireless Switch controller by PowerA is the most understated of the bunch. It connects wirelessly via Bluetooth and has a pair of remappable back buttons. The Peely controller released earlier this year for $65 and comes with a code for the Prickly Axe skin.

Xbox and PC users can buy PowerA's newly released Fortnite limited-edition controller for $100. Released on October 1, this limited-edition controller has a range of notable features, including Hall Effect sticks and triggers, four remappable back buttons, trigger locks, and custom profiles. It comes bundled with the Tooth Pickaxe skin. This controller has very similar features as the recently launched PowerA OPS V3 Pro for PC, which we found to be quite impressive for the price.

The more budget-friendly controller in the OPS line, the V1, has a Fortnite-themed edition for $55. A wireless controller for PC and mobile, the Fortnite Edition OPS V1 is equipped with Hall Effect sticks and triggers, four remappable back buttons, and three-way trigger locks. You can connect wirelessly via 2.4GHz or Bluetooth. It's available now at Amazon and comes with the Assault Bomber glider skin.

Chroma Collection DualSense Controllers and PS5 Console Covers

PlayStation's new Chroma Collection features three DualSense controllers and console covers in iridescent color options: Chroma Pearl, Chroma Indigo, and Chroma Teal.

Chroma controllers retail for the new $80 price. Console covers for the PS5 Slim cost $65 each, five bucks more than than existing color options. Chroma Pearl and Indigo accessories release November 7, but Chroma Teal won't be available until January 23, 2025.

November will be a busy month for PlayStation gear, as the PS5 Pro is also slated for a November 7 launch. Preorders for the PS5 Pro started September 26 on PlayStation Direct and October 10 at major retailers. Two weeks after the PS5 Pro's launch, PlayStation's 30th Anniversary Collection will bring limited-edition consoles and controllers.
