Naturally, it’s the design that is the star of the show here, and Rasmus Poulsen, the franchise’s artistic director at 007 First lightstates in a new PlayStation blog post that “Every element of the DualSense’s design was designed as a celebration of Bond’s return, combining heritage and modernity to create a controller that feels unmistakably 007 from the moment you see it.”
At the center of this is the controller’s shiny gold finish which is splashed and complemented by darker black features.

The controller features the instantly recognizable 007 logo in the middle of the touchpad with strong lines radiating from it across the panel. At the back of the platform, among the golden sea, the 007 First light the name and slogan of ‘Win the number’ are present.

Shedding more light on the limited edition design, Poulsen said that “the gold finish pays homage to the elegance, heritage and timeless style of the franchise, while the barrel-inspired details reflect the themes of the game and how it feels to play it, as well as being a nod to one of pop culture’s most recognizable visual signatures.”
