Sony Unleashes Midnight Black Enhancements for PS5

Sony Unveils Sleek Midnight Black PlayStation 5 Accessory Collection

Sony has unveiled a stylish new Midnight Black Collection for the PlayStation 5, adding a touch of dark elegance to its gaming peripherals. The collection includes four premium accessories: the DualSense Edge wireless controller, the PlayStation Portal handheld remote player, the Pulse Elite wireless headset, and the Pulse Explore wireless earbuds.

All accessories boast a sophisticated midnight black finish. The DualSense Edge controller, PlayStation Portal, and Pulse Explore earbuds are priced at $199.99 each, while the Pulse Elite headset is slightly more affordable at $149.99. This pricing reflects the enhanced features and premium build quality of these devices compared to their standard counterparts. Note that the Pulse Elite headset's price is significantly higher than its predecessor, the Pulse 3D wireless headset. Both the headset and earbuds come packaged in a felt gray carrying case.

Pre-orders for the Midnight Black Collection begin January 16th, 2025, at 10am ET, exclusively through direct.playstation.com. The full launch is scheduled for February 20th, 2025.

This release coincides with the excitement surrounding CES 2025 and follows Sony's previous releases of color variants for its controllers, including Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, and Galactic Purple. Rumors also suggest a major upgrade to the PlayStation VR2 headset may be on the horizon. The Midnight Black Collection provides a compelling option for gamers seeking a refined aesthetic upgrade for their PS5 setup. The collection also complements the recently announced limited-edition Helldivers 2 DualSense controller, further expanding Sony's range of themed controllers.
