While these special editions can still be found, they often sell for above retail price due to limited production. Beyond the anniversary collection, Sony has also released limited edition DualSense controllers to commemorate games like God of War: Ragnarok, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Concord, Astro Bot, and The Last of Us.
