The 'Daft Punk NEO S 5-Fret Fortnite Festival Controller' is a new limited-edition release from CRKD, created to celebrate the 'Daft Punk Experience,' an interactive music event within Fortnite Festival. Designed for rhythm-based games, it offers a simple plug-and-play setup and works with both PC and Nintendo® Switch.

This special edition pays tribute to Daft Punk with bold, retro-futuristic artwork and a commemorative '1993–2021' detail marking the duo’s influential career. It features a five-fret layout and a Festival Attachment that mimics real guitar frets, making it ideal for playing music tracks while also supporting keytar, drums, microphone, and bass modes.

Developed by the creators of 'Guitar Hero' and 'DJ Hero,' the controller combines striking design with strong performance for an immersive music gaming experience. Available for pre-order now, the Daft Punk NEO S 5-Fret Fortnite Festival Controller will ship in November 2025.
