Sony Unveils Sleek Midnight Black PlayStation 5 Accessories

Sony has unveiled its new Midnight Black Collection for the PlayStation 5, adding a sophisticated dark aesthetic to several popular accessories. The collection includes the DualSense Edge wireless controller, PlayStation Portal handheld remote player, Pulse Elite wireless headset, and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds.

The collection's pricing is as follows:

• DualSense Edge wireless controller: $199.99
• PlayStation Portal: $199.99
• Pulse Explore wireless earbuds: $199.99
• Pulse Elite wireless headset: $149.99

Pre-orders begin January 16th, 2025, at 10 AM ET, exclusively through direct.playstation.com, with a full launch on February 20th, 2025.

This announcement follows the excitement generated by CES 2025 and builds upon Sony's previous color variations for its accessories, including Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, and Galactic Purple. The Midnight Black collection offers a stylish alternative to the standard white DualSense controller, providing a premium look and feel. The DualSense Edge controller, in particular, boasts a modern design and includes a dedicated carrying case.

Interestingly, the Pulse Elite headset's price point is notably higher than its predecessor, the Midnight Black PS5 Pulse 3D wireless headset. Both the headset and earbuds come with a gray felt carrying case, a subtle design choice.

Beyond the Midnight Black Collection, Sony continues to expand its range of themed DualSense controllers, with recent releases including those for God of War and Marvel's Spider-Man 2. A limited-edition Helldivers 2 DualSense controller is also available for pre-order.
