Bungie’s limited-edition Marathon DualSense controller has dropped in price far quicker than expected, and it’s not a small cut either.
Just weeks after launch, the PS5 gamepad is down 18%, now sitting at $69.68 at both Amazon and Walmart, which is a new low for the design.
PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller – Marathon Limited Edition
1
The controller ties into Marathon, Bungie’s newly released extraction shooter. To mark the launch, Sony rolled out a small range of themed PS5 accessories back in March, with this special edition DualSense front and centre.
Design-wise, it’s more restrained than most limited-edition pads.
The base is the standard white shell you’d expect from a DualSense controller, but it’s layered with black and neon green Marathon iconography across the grips and touchpad.
Flip it over, and you’ll find the game’s logo stamped across the back in matching neon lettering, subtle enough not to be garish, but distinctive enough to stand out on a shelf.
It’s purely a cosmetic upgrade, but at this price, it’s edging closer to standard DualSense pricing territory, which makes the limited-edition controller a whole lot more compelling than it was at launch.
Bungie recently released its 1.0.6 Patch update for Marathon, which focused on encourgaing players “to be nice” alongside plenty of other big gameplay changes.
It even looks like Bungie’s attempt to make Marathon that bit more casual-friendly are so far helping, with reactions fairly positive since the update was pushed out.
