In the midst of the CES 2025 buzz, Sony has heightened gamers' anticipation by introducing the Midnight Black Collection for the PlayStation 5. This new lineup includes four accessories designed to appeal to those who prefer a darker aesthetic. While the PlayStation 5 originally launched with a white DualSense controller, Sony quickly expanded its color palette with options like Midnight Black, Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, Galactic Purple, and various Chroma variants.

The excitement surrounding the Midnight Black Collection is further amplified by rumors of a significant upgrade to the PlayStation VR2 headset, providing another reason for fans to invest in Sony's latest technology. The Midnight Black Collection transforms key PS5 accessories into a sleek, dark theme, compelling gamers to consider adding these stylish pieces to their collections.

Sony has officially launched the Midnight Black Collection, offering a sophisticated and shadowy redesign of the DualSense Edge wireless controller, PlayStation Portal, Pulse Elite wireless headset, and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds. While the original Midnight Black DualSense controller was rumored in 2020 and released in June 2021, the new Edge model brings a modern twist, complete with a black carrying case. The DualSense Edge Midnight Black controller is priced at $199.99, matching the cost of the PlayStation Portal.
