New controllers come in blue, pink, and purple.
As spotted by Polygon, Sony revealed colorful new console covers and controllers for PlayStation 5.
The console covers will allow PlayStation 5 owners to replace the white shell on their console with a shell in one of five colors: Cosmid Red, Midnight Black, Nova Pink, Starlight Blue, and Galactic Purple.
In a PlayStation Blog post, Sony said the Cosmic Red and Midnight Black PlayStation 5 console covers will be released in January 2022, while the Nova Pink, Galactic Purple, and Starlight Blue options will be released “during the first half of 2022.” Console covers will be available for both the PlayStation 5 console and the PlayStation 5: Digital Edition console.
To be especially clear, these console covers will be sold separately from the PlayStation 5 console. You’ll still only be able to purchase a PlayStation 5 console with a white cover (as of this writing).
Each PlayStation 5 console cover will be priced at $54.99. If you’re interested in purchasing the Cosmic Red or Midnight Black version for your PlayStation 5, you can now pre-order them on PlayStation’s website.
In addition to revealing five new console covers, PlayStation revealed three new DualSense wireless controllers that match some of the covers. Specifically, fans will be able to purchase Galactic Purple, Nova Pink, and Starlight Blue PlayStation 5 controllers starting early next year. The Cosmic Red and Midnight Black controllers are already available.
The Galactic Purple, Nova Pink, and Starlight Blue PlayStation 5 controllers will be priced at $74.99 each. You can pre-order them now on PlayStation’s website.
