Exclusive: Sony Debuts Midnight Black PS5 Hardware

Sony Unveils Sleek Midnight Black PlayStation 5 Accessories

Sony has unveiled a stylish new Midnight Black Collection for PlayStation 5, featuring four premium accessories: the DualSense Edge controller, PlayStation Portal handheld, Pulse Elite wireless headset, and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds. These additions to the existing color options offer a sophisticated dark aesthetic.

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 launch follows Sony's trend of releasing various DualSense controller colors, including Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, and Galactic Purple. The Midnight Black DualSense Edge controller, in particular, offers a modern update to the original Midnight Black design, complete with a matching carrying case. Interestingly, the Pulse Elite headset, while more expensive than its predecessor, includes a felt gray carrying case, unlike the black case accompanying the other accessories.

Beyond the Midnight Black Collection, Sony continues to expand its accessory lineup with themed controllers. The recently announced limited-edition Helldivers 2 DualSense controller is a prime example, capitalizing on the popularity of the 2024 shooter title.
