Sony has reported its first new colors for PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller: a “cosmic red” model that features a two-tone red and black design, and an all-black “midnight black” version that infers the classic PS2, PS3, and PS4 controller designs.
As of not long ago, Sony has just offered the DualSense controller in a black-and-white color scheme to coordinate with the PS5 (which features a comparable contrasting theme), so the new color options are positively welcome ones.
The midnight black option is especially remarkable: the fundamentally white DualSense was a major departure for Sony’s designs, which have to a great trended toward black and gray consoles and controllers by default for the whole life span of the PlayStation brand. A major new black option (in fact still a two-tone design, with two different shades of black) is nearer to those different controllers, however.
At this moment, Sony has just declared new colors for the controller, albeit the PlayStation 5 comfort feature removable face plates — so it’s possible that the organization could introduce matching with plates for the PS5 soon. Venturesome companies like Dbrand have effectively begun to fill that gap, however, with their own third-party options.
The two new color schemes ought to be accessible to buy at some point one month from now (Sony says that dates will be subject to individual retailers). The Midnight Black color scheme will cost $69.99, equivalent to the standard DualSense controller, while the Cosmic Red will (mysteriously) cost $74.99, a $5 increment over the other two colors.
Obviously, all that accepts that you can discover a PS5 in any case — something that Sony concedes may be hard to do until 2022 at the earliest.
