Sony Unveils Sleek Midnight Black PlayStation 5 Accessories

Sony has announced a stylish new Midnight Black Collection for the PlayStation 5, adding a 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 release follows Sony's trend of offering various DualSense controller colors, including previous releases like Volcanic Red and Galactic Purple. The Midnight Black collection provides a sophisticated alternative to the standard white PS5 accessories. The higher price point of the Pulse Elite headset ($149.99) compared to its predecessor, the Pulse 3D wireless headset, is notable, although it includes a carrying case. Similarly, the Pulse Explore earbuds also come with a carrying case.

Adding to the excitement surrounding the new accessories, rumors suggest a significant upgrade is coming to the PlayStation VR2 headset.

Beyond the Midnight Black Collection, Sony continues to release themed DualSense controllers, such as the recently announced limited-edition Helldivers 2 controller.
