BLACKPINK star Lisa has designed her own limited-edition PlayStation 5 controller featuring perhaps the most unexpected hardware detail of the year: her signature fringe and eyes across the touchpad.
The Lisa Limited Edition DualSense will be available worldwide on 30 October for $84.99 in the US, £74.99 in the UK and €84.99 in Europe. You can start pre-ordering on 2 October at 10am local time, though Sony has cautioned that stock will be very limited.
Instead of just putting Lisa’s name on a regular controller, Sony said she was involved in the design. Her eyes and famous fringe dominate the centrepiece, with stars and large «LL» initials scattered across a shimmering Chroma Pearl body – a colour that PlayStation says is Lisa’s personal favourite.
The collaboration marks a further foray into the gaming universe for Lisa, who starred in PlayStation’s global PS5 campaign last year. She plays games when she has time to relax, she said, and she wanted to embed the design with details that her fans would recognise.

When and where to buy
The controller will be sold through PlayStation Direct and participating retailers, depending on the country. Southeast Asian prices include MYR 419 in Malaysia, SGD 115 in Singapore and THB 2,890 in Thailand.
Sony is also turning the partnership into a broader Lisa x PlayStation collection with clothing, hats, tote bags, keychains, stickers and a DualSense carrying case. Some merchandise goes on pre-order on 2 October, while another range lands through Lisa’s Amazon store on 23 October.
Lisa’s new EP Press Play is also due on 23 October, giving the gaming launch a direct tie-in with her next music release.
