With the buzz surrounding the PlayStation’s 30th anniversary products, gamers are starting to notice a few small missteps—especially with the high-priced PS5 DualSense Edge controller. Just yesterday, we highlighted an issue where the PS1-themed cable connector housing obstructs one of the USB ports on the console. Now, the attention has shifted to the DualSense Edge stick modules, which sport a distinctive color not yet available for purchase on its own. At least, not for the time being.
Is Sony Holding Out on Anniversary-colored PS5 DualSense Stick Modules?
I haven’t gotten my hands on the 30th anniversary controller yet, but users on Reddit are posting photos of the Edge controller, showing off the stark color contrast between the limited edition sticks and the regular ones. It’s already a challenge to find standard stick modules—they’re not mass-produced and frequently sell out—so gamers are skeptical about Sony releasing this exclusive color option.
The photos below highlight just how noticeable the color difference is between the standard sticks and the special edition ones. If you find yourself needing a replacement, your controller might lose some of its unique appeal—not to mention the hit it could take in value.
There’s a slight chance that unofficial replacements mimicking the special edition color will surface in the future. For now, gamers are keeping their fingers crossed that their controllers won’t fall victim to the dreaded stick drift.
