Since the launch of the PS5, last November, so many fans and reviewers have screamed that only white PS5 and white controllers are available. Few liked it, and most of them waited for Sony to provide color options. However, Sony listened to those feedbacks and finally launching new PS5 DualSense Controllers in Black and Red colors. Finally, a dream come true for PS fans.
Sony seems to be using the same two-tone approach again as the existing one with white and black. The Cosmic Red variant comes in Red and Black, and the Midnight Black variant in Subtler Black and Light Grey.
Here, Take a look at the reveal video:
The new Black and Red color editions of PS5 DualSense Controllers will be available from June. The exact date will vary by location.
Announcing the new controllers on PlayStation.Blog, the Senior Director at PlayStation, Isabelle Tomatis, said that “The DualSense controller marked a radical departure from our previous controllers by delivering innovative features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers*. The features weren’t the only noticeable transformation – the bold, two-toned color choice was also a significant pivot from our previous controllers.”
The fellow designer Satoshi Aoyagi was asked to share some additional insights about the color choice and selection process.
“Both Midnight Black and Cosmic Red feature a subtle blue hue, that produces unique shades of red and black. A blue hue is also present in the original DualSense wireless controller colors, so all three colors complement each other nicely. The controller’s button colors and detailing has been tailored to complement the new colors as well.
We hope these new additions will bring further joy and excitement to our fans’ gaming experience.”
