Blackpink’s Lisa is headlining a new PlayStation collaboration that centres on a limited-edition DualSense wireless controller and a wider merchandise collection, timed to coincide with her upcoming EP, Press Play.
The DualSense Wireless Controller – Lisa Limited Edition features a soft grey “Chroma Pearl” finish with an artistic rendering of Lisa’s mascara-clad blue eyes on the touchpad, PlayStation’s four iconic button symbols integrated into the makeup motif, an “LL” logo on one side, and Lisa’s signature on the back.
It will launch on October 30, 2026 in highly limited quantities directly from PlayStation and at participating retailers globally, with an MSRP of US$84.99 (also ¥12,480 in Japan, €84.99 in Europe, £74.99 in the UK; SGD 115 in Singapore and other local prices across Southeast Asia).

Pre-orders open October 2 at 10am local time via PlayStation Direct in the US and selected European markets, then through regional PlayStation stores and retailers; supplies are limited and expected to sell quickly.
Merchandise: two assortments, fashion-forward drop
Alongside the controller, PlayStation is releasing a Lisa x PlayStation merchandise collection in two unique assortments that lean into Lisa’s fashion and lifestyle brand as much as gaming.
The US-focused line includes:
-
Apparel such as sweaters and hats
-
Tote bags and a DualSense carrying case
-
Keychains and stickers
Select items will be available for preorder from October 2 on PlayStation Direct (US), launching with the controller on October 30.
A second assortment drops on October 23 via Lisa’s official Amazon store (amazon.com/lisa) and in the Amazon Music app, aligning with the release of her new EP.
The collaboration is strategically timed with Lisa’s next solo project: her six-track EP Press Play*, due October 23, 2026, which she has described as drawing on her Thai heritage and personal influences.
Lisa, the Thai main rapper of Blackpink, has built a substantial solo profile with albums like Rockstar and high-profile acting roles, including HBO’s The White Lotus Season 3.
She is also no stranger to gaming crossovers, having recently fronted an entire Fortnite Festival season as an Icon.

In PlayStation’s announcement, Lisa emphasized her personal connection to gaming and the creative angle of this partnership. “Gaming is something I do whenever I have time to relax, so getting to create this collection with PlayStation was very exciting,” she said.
“I had a lot of fun adding in little details that I knew my fans would notice, and I wanted the fans to have something they can connect with. I’ve always loved expressing myself through music and fashion, so this collaboration gave me a new way to be creative and show a different side of myself. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.”
These lines underscore how the collection is positioned not just as branded hardware, but as an extension of Lisa’s personal style and creative expression.
Limited-edition DualSense controllers have become a staple for PlayStation, though most tie into first-party franchises (e.g., Marvel’s Wolverine, God of War, Horizon). Celebrity-led controllers are rarer; the last notable example was the LeBron James limited-edition PS5 accessories in 2023.
