Astro Bot DualSense Controller Coming to the Philippines, Pre-orders Go Live this August

/

Sony Interactive Entertainment revealed a limited edition DualSense controller that pairs nicely with the upcoming action platformer Astro Bot coming out on September 6.

It’s a nice combination of blue with a perfect finish of Astro Bot’s expressive eyes resting on the touch pad. I’m not a fan of the joysticks being colored so the fact that both sticks are white in this design gets a few points in my preferences.

Astro Bot DualSense price and pre-order details in the Philippines

Those interested in this version of the PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller can opt to pre-order starting August 9 as you can expect this custom controller to be available once the Astro Bot launches in September. Be sure to check your local retailers to secure one.

If you do plan to get it, it will cost you PHP 4,590 in the Philippines. It’s called a limited edition for a reason, so expect limited quantities of this particular controller in your respective regions in Southeast Asia.

For those in other SEA regions, the Astro Bot Limited Edition controller is priced as follows:

  • Singapore - SGD 114

  • Malaysia - MYR 399

  • Indonesia - IDR 1,449,000

  • Thailand - THB 2,690

  • Vietnam - VND 2,299,000

About Astro Bot

For those unfamiliar, Astro Bot is an entirely new game to follow the Astro Playroom platformer that is free for every PS5 owner. The follow-up title is bigger and much bolder as it features over 50 planets to explore, new powerups, tons of enemy variety, multiple PlayStation-infused characters, and more.

Ever since Astro Bot was revealed a few months ago the reception throughout the internet has been generally positive as the game’s first gameplay trailer envokes pure fun. No gimmicks or visual realism to push hardware, just a video game that is charming, fun, and is appealing to all ages. It also helps that Astro’s Playroom was experienced by almost all PS5 owners as it was generally a fun platformer given entirely for free.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has the potential to be a favorite for fans of the franchise, delivering an authentic Indiana Jones experience with its story and cinematic presentation. While the game shines in its exploration and puzzle elements, the combat and stealth mechanics’ lack of gameplay variety holds it back.

This will be music to the ears of kids who grew up on the series, but for the uninitiated, there’s nothing quite like the Mario & Luigi games. Mario & Luigi Brothership does its best to appeal to a wide range of players with charming presentation and a strong new Battle Plug system, but not everyone will be enamored with its reflex-testing gameplay.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure Review - A Nostalgic Return That Falls Flat

Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
