| The cover is still orderable, the controller is already out of stock in Germany |
If you had your eye on Sony's vibrant new Hyperpop DualSense controllers, you might need to act quickly—or look to international retailers. Two of the three eye-catching colorways have already sold out for pre-order on the German PlayStation Direct online store, signaling surprisingly high demand for a design not tied to a major game or franchise.
As of now, only the Rhythm Blue variant remains available for pre-order in Germany. The Techno Red and Remix Green models can no longer be added to the cart, marking a swift sell-out that is relatively unusual for a controller series based purely on a bold aesthetic theme, rather than a blockbuster IP like God of War or Spider-Man.
Will There Be a Restock?
For disappointed fans, there is still hope. It's currently unclear if Sony will open a second wave of pre-orders in regions where stock has vanished, but the company has a history of doing so. In a notable precedent, the coveted 30th Anniversary Edition controller saw a surprise restock on PlayStation Direct several months after its initial sell-out.
For those eager to secure a controller immediately, checking participating retailers is the best bet. Major chains and online stores often carry these special editions. You can also explore all the color options directly at the source on the PlayStation Direct "Choose Your Color" accessories page.
Furthermore, availability varies significantly by region. At the time of writing, all three Hyperpop colors are still listed as available for pre-order on Sony's U.S. PlayStation Direct store, suggesting fans stateside still have a window to grab their favorite.
Don't Forget the Matching Console Covers
The story is slightly different for the matching PS5 console covers. Sony has indicated these will be produced in limited quantities and only for select markets, priced at $74.99. For now, these covers appear to be in stock at most regional PlayStation Direct stores, but their limited nature suggests they could become the next item to sell out.
If you're aiming for a complete Hyperpop makeover for your PS5, securing the console cover sooner rather than later might be a wise move.
How to Buy the Hyperpop Controllers
While the German store shows limited stock, other avenues remain open. Besides the U.S. PlayStation Direct, authorized retailers like Amazon are expected to carry the collection. You can check current availability and pricing for PlayStation 5 consoles and accessories here on Amazon, where the new Hyperpop controllers may also appear.
The swift sell-out in Europe highlights the enduring popularity of Sony's special edition hardware and serves as a reminder: when a unique design catches the community's eye, it often doesn't stay on digital shelves for long.
