PlayStation Announces Shadowy Midnight Black Peripherals

Sony Unveils Sleek Midnight Black PlayStation 5 Accessories

Sony has unveiled its stylish Midnight Black Collection for the PlayStation 5, adding a dark aesthetic to its popular accessories. The collection includes the DualSense Edge wireless controller, PlayStation Portal handheld remote player, Pulse Elite wireless headset, and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds.

This isn't Sony's first foray into darker hues; the original Midnight Black DualSense controller was a hit. However, this new collection brings the sophisticated black finish to its latest and most advanced peripherals. The DualSense Edge controller, notably, includes a matching black carrying case.

Pricing for the Midnight Black Collection is as follows:

• DualSense Edge wireless controller: $199.99
• PlayStation Portal: $199.99
• Pulse Explore wireless earbuds: $199.99
• Pulse Elite wireless headset: $149.99

Note that the Pulse Elite headset's price is higher than its predecessor, the Pulse 3D wireless headset. Both the headset and earbuds come in a felt gray carrying case, a slight departure from the black theme.

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

Beyond the Midnight Black Collection, Sony continues to expand its DualSense controller lineup with themed designs. Following the successful releases tied to God of War and Marvel's Spider-Man 2, a limited-edition Helldivers 2 DualSense controller is also available for pre-order.
