Sony Unveils Sleek Midnight Black PS5 Accessories
Sony has announced a stylish new Midnight Black Collection for the PlayStation 5, adding a sophisticated dark aesthetic to its popular accessories. The collection includes the DualSense Edge wireless controller, PlayStation Portal handheld remote player, Pulse Elite wireless headset, and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds.
This isn't Sony's first foray into darker hues; a Midnight Black DualSense controller was released previously, but this collection brings the updated Edge controller and other new devices into the fold. The collection offers a cohesive, dark look for PS5 enthusiasts.
Pricing for the collection is as follows:
- DualSense Edge wireless controller (Midnight Black): $199.99
- PlayStation Portal (Midnight Black): $199.99
- Pulse Explore wireless earbuds (Midnight Black): $199.99
- Pulse Elite wireless headset (Midnight Black): $149.99
Note that the Pulse Elite headset's price is higher than its predecessor, the Pulse 3D wireless headset. Both the headset and earbuds come with a gray felt carrying case.
Pre-orders for the Midnight Black Collection begin January 16th, 2025, at 10 AM ET, exclusively through direct.playstation.com. The full launch is scheduled for February 20th, 2025.
$199 at Amazon, $200 at Best Buy, $200 at GameStop, $199 at Walmart, $200 at Target
The announcement coincides with the excitement surrounding CES 2025, and rumors suggest a significant upgrade to the PlayStation VR2 headset may be on the horizon. This new collection, along with potential VR2 news, provides further incentive for gamers to invest in Sony's latest technology. The collection also complements Sony's existing line of themed DualSense controllers, such as those released for God of War and Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and the recently announced limited-edition Helldivers 2 controller.
