As CES 2025 generates buzz, Sony has kept the excitement alive for gamers by unveiling the new Midnight Black Collection for the PlayStation 5. This collection features four new accessories that come with a premium price tag. Initially, the PlayStation 5 debuted with the standard white DualSense controller, but Sony quickly catered to fans of darker aesthetics by introducing a Midnight Black version, along with other vibrant colors like Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, Galactic Purple, and a range of Chroma options.
For those who were already thrilled about the newly unveiled Midnight Black Collection, there’s even more buzz in the air! A recent rumor hints that the PlayStation VR2 headset could be getting a significant upgrade, making it even more tempting for fans to invest in Sony’s latest innovations. The Midnight Black Collection transforms essential PS5 accessories into a stylish dark mode, and this subtle yet striking change is sure to entice gamers to open their wallets.
Sony has launched the new Midnight Black Collection, offering a sleek and stylish update to the DualSense Edge wireless controller, PlayStation Portal, Pulse Elite wireless headset, and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds. The buzz around the original Midnight Black DualSense controller began in 2020, leading to its official debut in June 2021. Now, the Edge controller brings a fresh, modern twist and includes a matching black carrying case. The price for the DualSense Edge Midnight Black controller is set at $199.99, which is the same as the Portal.
