Sony Unveils Sleek Midnight Black PlayStation 5 Accessories
Sony has unveiled its stylish Midnight Black Collection for the PlayStation 5, featuring a quartet of high-end accessories: the DualSense Edge wireless controller, PlayStation Portal handheld, Pulse Elite wireless headset, and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds. These premium additions offer a sophisticated dark aesthetic to complement the console.
The collection's pricing is as follows: The DualSense Edge controller, PlayStation Portal, and Pulse Explore earbuds are all priced at $199.99, while the Pulse Elite headset is slightly more affordable at $149.99.
Pre-orders for the Midnight Black Collection begin January 16th, 2025, with a full launch scheduled for February 20th, 2025, exclusively through direct.playstation.com.
This announcement follows the excitement generated by CES 2025 and adds to the buzz surrounding potential PlayStation VR2 upgrades, further incentivizing gamers to invest in Sony's latest technology. The Midnight Black Collection provides a sleek, dark alternative to the standard white PS5 accessories.
The new DualSense Edge controller, included in this collection, boasts a modern design and includes a dedicated black carrying case. While the $199.99 price point is consistent with the standalone controller, the inclusion of the Portal and earbuds at the same price is notable.
The Pulse Elite headset, priced at $149.99, represents a significant price jump from its predecessor, the Pulse 3D wireless headset. Both the headset and earbuds come with felt gray carrying cases, a departure from the black theme. The Pulse Explore earbuds, at $199.99, offer premium in-ear audio.
