The Backdrop: From a PS5 Campaign to a Controller
PlayStation first worked with Lisa last year on its global PS5 campaign. That collaboration has now escalated into something bigger: a DualSense wireless controller – Lisa Limited Edition, designed with Lisa's direct involvement.
Lisa's path — from her roots in Thailand to Korea and beyond — has made her a defining figure in global pop culture, known both for her stage presence and her fashion sensibility. That crossover appeal is precisely what makes this product more than a standard hardware variant: it's aimed as much at her fanbase as at PlayStation's.
The Design: Personal Details, Not Just Branding
The controller isn't simply slapping a logo on plastic. Lisa worked with the team from the start on elements with personal meaning:
- Her iconic bangs and eyes featured on the touch pad
- Signature stars and bold "LL" lettering
- A Chroma Pearl colorway — her personal favorite
Lisa explained her approach: "Gaming is something I do whenever I have time to relax, so getting to create this collection with PlayStation was very exciting. I had a lot of fun adding in little details that I knew my fans would notice... I've always loved expressing myself through music and fashion, so this collaboration gave me a new way to be creative."

One Week Earlier: New Music
The controller launch is timed alongside Lisa's new EP, Press Play, arriving October 23 — one week before the controller hits shelves. The tie-in is deliberate, and PlayStation's message leans into it: "Come and Press Play!"
Where Things Stand
Pre-orders open October 2, and given the "highly limited quantities" language, buyers in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam should move quickly. The release caps a two-year arc of PlayStation-Lisa collaboration — from a marketing campaign to a co-designed product — and lands in the same month as her EP, making late October a double milestone for her fans.
