This limited-edition design for the PS5 is now available in the UK and will soon be live in the US – although we don't expect stocks to last for long.

Last year, PlayStation released their first Astro Bot controller and it proved to be one of the most popular drops yet, selling out extremely quickly.

This latest design, dubbed the "Astro Bot Joyful Limited Edition," bears Astro's signature blue accents on the handles and buttons, as well as a smiley pair of eyes on the Touch Pad.

Here's how you can buy this happy little accessory today.
