The controller itself boasts all the features you would expect from a DualSense, such as adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.

This latest promotion is all to celebrate the second season premiere of The Rings of Power on Amazon, which starts on 29th August.

Alien: Romulus – the latest film in the Alien franchise – recently released, and stars Isabela Merced in a leading role.
