Available Around the World and Compatible with Fortnite Festival, Pre-Orders Begin Today for Daft Punk themed Licensed Special Edition NEO S™ Controller, Complete with Five Fret Festival Attachment!
Livermore, CA – September 29, 2025 – CRKD™, the premium collectible gaming brand behind the award-winning Nitro Deck™ and NEO S™ collectible controllers, announced today the latest in their line of special edition NEO S artist controllers, with the NEO S 5-Fret Daft Punk Fortnite Festival Edition, a licensed NEO S controller, designed for use with Fortnite Festival and other rhythm-based games to plug, play, and strum away.
To celebrate the Daft Punk Experience, an interactive music experience built in Fortnite, controller specialists CRKD created a stunning special edition version of the 5 Fret NEO S controller, perfect for strumming away to Daft Punk Jam Tracks.
Arguably the most influential artists in electronic dance music, Daft Punk were named the 12th greatest musical duo of all time by Rolling Stone in 2015, and boast a litany of countless hits, scores of Grammy Awards, iconic albums and legions of fans. Reshaping the world of pop, house, funk, disco and electronic dance music forever, there are few artists who can claim to hold a greater, longer-lasting legacy than the iconic automatons.
The NEO S 5-Fret Daft Punk Fortnite Festival Edition offers compatibility with both PC and Nintendo® Switch™. A true homage to the Grammy-winning duo, the controller includes a printed “1993-2021” and comes complete with stunning artwork inspired by the retro-futuristic aesthetic that defined a generation. Fans are encouraged to move quickly to secure their NEO-S, as it’s a limited edition Hot Drop in the CRKD collection — when they’re gone, they’re gone!
The highly regarded five-fret edition of CRKD’s iconic NEO S controller is the fifth NEO S in CRKD’s Fortnite Festival range, bringing gamers closer to the music they love and providing the ideal way to enjoy their Fortnite Festival experience. The unique Festival Attachment included in pack replicates the frets found on a real guitar, but the NEO S doesn’t limit gamers to guitar, Fortnite Festival fans can use the controller to play Keytar, Drum, Mic and Bass song parts.
Designed and engineered by team members behind the much-loved hardware for Guitar Hero™ and DJ Hero™, the NEO S is fully compatible with other rhythm-based community games, opening up a whole world of possibilities for music lovers.
Available for pre-order today, the NEO S 5-Fret Daft Punk Fortnite Festival Edition is expected to ship in November 2025, so grab your space helmets and get those decks spinning!
