Sony has announced the release date for Marathon, along with a gorgeous official PlayStation 5 DualSense controller inspired by the game's aesthetics, prompting fans to wonder whether ARC Raiders will receive a similarly branded controller in the future.

The PlayStation 5 has had many official DualSense controllers for first-party games, usually costing a pretty penny, assuming scalpers don't gobble them up straight away. There have also been high-profile third-party titles that received DualSense controllers, such as Fortnite.

Night Raids allow you to find extremely valuable loot in the cover of darkness. Here's how they work.

Bungie has confirmed that Marathon is launching on March 5, 2026. Sony has announced that an official Marathon DualSense controller will launch on the same day, priced at $84.99/£74.99. A video showing the controller in action is now available on the official PlayStation YouTube channel.

ARC Raiders Needs a Marathon-Style Controller

The Marathon controller is stunning, matching the game's neon-stained aesthetic. The big question now is whether the current popular multiplayer title of 2026, ARC Raiders, will get the same treatment.

One of the most striking aspects of ARC Raiders is its visuals, which are kind of like the NASApunk of Starfield, only attached to a good game. Everything from the machines that wander the earth to the blistering colors of the UI makes for a treat for the eyes.

The big difference is that Sony owns Bungie, so it's making a huge deal out of Marathon. ARC Raiders, meanwhile, is a multiplatform game owned by an independent studio, so there's less incentive to give it a DualSense.

In the meantime, fans will have to be satisfied with the colors and patterns of the Marathon DualSense, assuming they can grab one before they sell out.
