A few days ago, a custom McDonald’s-themed PlayStation 5 DualSense Controller appeared on the web. It was reported that the Australian branch of the fast-food chain made a limited number of the controller to give away as it celebrates its 50th anniversary.

It was later reported that Sony had prevented the controller from being released. McDonald’s Australia also announced that it had postponed its week-long event and revealed new prizes to be won which didn’t include the custom controller.

The latest update on the matter today via IGN is that McDonald’s said the controller was never meant to be released and that it was an internal concept. An official statement from McDonald’s Australia said “the image was provided to media in error and there is no commercial relationship between McDonald’s Australia and Sony PlayStation.”

This might come as a disappointment to fans of PlayStation who have been looking forward to winning the custom DualSense Controller. Sony, unlike its rival, Xbox, has a very limited selection of controller options.

The Xbox Wireless Controller is not only available in several colors and a wide variety of designs but there is also the Xbox Design Lab that allows users to customize their own controllers. The DualSense controller on the other hand can only be picked up in the default white that ships with the controller as well as Midnight Black and Cosmic Red that were announced in May.
