It’s the start of a new year, and you might be tempted to give your PS5 console a makeover. Fortunately, Sony has a new selection of limited-edition PS5 console covers and DualSense controllers on the way, all sporting vivid neon colors. The Hyerpop Collection PS5 console covers will be a PS Direct Store exclusive priced at $75, while the DualSense controllers will cost $85 each. Preorders will open on January 16 ahead of their March 12 launch.
Like the console covers, the DualSense controllers will be available in three distinct colorways. Techno Red is a loud, vibrant option that fades to a glossy black at the top. First released in November 2020, the DualSense controller features adaptive triggers, a built-in microphone, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a Create Button for when you want to quickly grab in-game screenshots and video clips. Remix Green also pops nicely on the DualSense controller, with this particular shade being an instant attention-grabber. While it’s also a bright color, Rhythm Blue is a touch softer than the two options above it. The blue tones give the DualSense controller a slightly subdued and calmer effect.
$75 | Releases March 12
PS5 console covers will also be available in all three Hyperpop Collection colors. These will be available for both the standard PS5 console with a disc drive and the digital edition model. These will be available exclusively through PlayStation Direct and are designed to complement the controllers.
Sony doesn’t release new PS5 console covers or DualSense controller color lines like this too often. While you can usually expect to see tie-in gear for console-exclusive games or one-offs like the Icon Blue, dedicated colorways like these are rarer. So far, the line includes the Chroma Collection and the Deep Earth Collection, a series of bright and unusual colors designed to make your PS5 setup stand out.
You can still pick up several of the controllers on Amazon, and they’re also cheaper than the Hyperpop Collection at $80 each. The Chroma Indigo, Chroma Teal, and Chroma Pearl controllers have been popular, with fans describing them as elegant additions to a PS5 setup thanks to their layered designs. The Deep Earth DualSense controller designs are similar to the Chroma Collection, but with an expanded color selection that includes Sterling Silver, Cobalt Blue, and Volcanic Red.
