Sony's annual Days of Play Event is under way with great deals on PlayStation DualSense controllers. There are plenty of colors that have been discounted, including some really cool themed limited editions. One such special edition in particular stands out to me. The Icon Blue PS5 DualSense controller, which is exclusively sold at Walmart, is also on sale for $64 shipped after a $20 instant discount. This is the first time I've seen it on sale since its October 2025 release.
First Ever Discount on the Icon Blue PS5 Dualsense Controller
According to Playstation's official blog, the Icon Blue controller is "inspired by PlayStation’s storied heritage [with its] unique, layered shades of blue and a glossy pattern of PlayStation shapes on the touch pad." If you're not a fan of the color blue, it's safe to assume you'll hate it. The special edition is unabashedly all-blue from front to back and top to bottom. Even the buttons are blue. In my humble opinion, Sony pulls off this monochrome schematic and it looks fantastic.
The DualSense is modeled after the tried and true design and layout of previous PlayStation controllers, but it also packs in modern features such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, a built-in microphone and speaker, integrated touchpad, internal gyroscope and accelerometer for motion sensing, and USB Type-C charging. This controller can also be connected to a PC in two ways: tethered with a USB Type-C cable or over Bluetooth wireless.
The Dualsense is oft regarded as the best PS5 controller under $100 but it also makes for an excellent PC controller, especially since PC game clients like Steam support the DualSense's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
