Sony Interactive Entertainment will release a DualSense Wireless Controller "LISA" Limited Edition on October 30, sold in limited quantities on Amazon, with pre-orders opening October 2 at 10:00 for 12,480 yen. The design was made jointly with LISA of BLACKPINK. It is based on her preferred "Chroma Pearl" color and carries motifs of her signature bangs and eyes, stars, and the letters "LL." LISA said in a comment posted on the PlayStation Blog that she likes to spend free time playing games, that creating something people experience through play was a first for her, and that she wanted subtle details fans would notice right away while keeping her own style. The design was decided early in production through close coordination with LISA. The same PlayStation Blog post also shows apparel built on the touchpad motif, including T-shirts, hoodies, hats, tote bags, and a controller case, sold in limited quantities in the United States only.
Amazon.co.jp carries the limited run at 12,480 yen, with reservations opening October 2 at 10:00. Sony Interactive Entertainment built the shell around LISA's preferred "Chroma Pearl," a pearl-like glossy white. The touchpad carries her signature bangs and eyes, and the grips carry bold "LL" lettering with star motifs.
LISA's comment on the PlayStation Blog describes her own gaming habit and the unfamiliarity of the assignment. "When I have free time, I like to spend it playing games," she said. "Creating something that everyone can experience through play was a first for me." She added that she wanted "subtle details that fans would notice right away, while valuing my own style."
The collaboration has a longer history than the controller. LISA appeared playing Helldivers 2 on a PS5 in the music video for her song "FUTW," published in February 2025. A commercial titled "PlayStation x LISA" followed in July of the same year.
