Sony Unveils Sleek Midnight Black PlayStation 5 Accessories

Sony has unveiled its stylish Midnight Black Collection for the 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 lineup of colorful PS5 peripherals offer a sophisticated dark aesthetic.

The collection's price points are 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 scheduled for February 20th, 2025. This launch coincides with the buzz surrounding CES 2025, adding to the excitement surrounding PlayStation's latest offerings.

The Midnight Black collection follows Sony's trend of releasing various DualSense controller colors, including Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, and Galactic Purple, catering to diverse player preferences. The new Edge controller, in particular, represents a modern update to the original Midnight Black DualSense, and includes a dedicated black carrying case. The Pulse Elite headset, while more expensive than its predecessor ($149.99 vs. $99.99), offers enhanced features. Both the headset and earbuds come with a felt gray carrying case.

Beyond the Midnight Black Collection, Sony continues to expand its themed DualSense controller options. Following the success of controllers themed after God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, a limited-edition Helldivers 2 DualSense controller is currently available for pre-order.
