Sony Unveils Midnight Black PS5 Accessories Collection

At the height of the excitement from CES 2025, Sony has amped up the enthusiasm among gamers by introducing the Midnight Black Collection for the PlayStation 5—a lineup of four premium accessories that don’t come cheap. When the PS5 initially hit the market, it came with the classic white DualSense controller. But it wasn’t long before Sony catered to gamers looking for a more moody aesthetic by releasing a Midnight Black version. Since then, they’ve expanded the palette with colors like Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, Galactic Purple, and a variety of Chroma options.

As if this fresh Midnight Black Collection wasn’t enough to excite PS5 enthusiasts, there’s buzz that the PlayStation VR2 headset could soon receive a major upgrade, providing yet another reason for fans to invest in Sony’s latest offerings. This new collection takes the usual PS5 accessories and gives them a sleek dark mode finish, making it a tempting addition for those looking to enhance their gaming experience with style.

Sony has officially rolled out the Midnight Black Collection, injecting a stylishly shadowy vibe into the DualSense Edge wireless controller, the PlayStation Portal, the Pulse Elite wireless headset, and the Pulse Explore wireless earbuds. When rumors of the original Midnight Black DualSense controller first stirred in 2020, many were eager for its arrival, eventually released in June 2021. The updated Edge controller brings a touch of modernity along with its own black carrying case, and it’s not surprising to see its price tagged at $199.99, the same cost as the PlayStation Portal.

In the lineup, you’ll find:

– DualSense Edge Wireless Controller Midnight Black: $199.99
– PlayStation Portal Midnight Black: $199.99
– Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds Midnight Black: $199.99
– Pulse Elite Wireless Headset Midnight Black: $149.99

While the previous Midnight Black PS5 Pulse 3D wireless headset came with a $99.99 price tag, it’s expected that the Elite version would jump in cost, with both the headset and earbuds now packaged in a sleek felt gray case instead of black. Gamers ready to upgrade can expect to pay $149.99 for the Pulse Elite headset and $199.99 for the Pulse Explore earbuds, which provide unmatched in-ear convenience. You’ll be able to start placing pre-orders for these Midnight Black Collection accessories on January 16, 2025, at 10 am ET, exclusively at direct.playstation.com. The full range will officially hit the shelves on February 20, 2025.

Beyond solid color schemes, Sony has crafted several themed DualSense controllers, keeping in step with some of PlayStation’s most beloved games. Fans are already familiar with the impressive God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 controllers, which were released alongside their respective games. But there’s more—an exclusive Helldivers 2 DualSense controller is now available for pre-order, following its announcement in December 2024. This limited-edition controller is sure to captivate fans of the popular 2024 shooter.

In the ever-evolving landscape of gaming accessories, Sony’s latest collection combines style and functionality, making it an enticing option for those looking to enhance their setup. Keep an eye out for these releases as they add a dynamic edge to the PlayStation experience.
