PlayStation 5 is getting new controller colours next month
It may have taken six months, but PlayStation have finally announced another colour for the DualSense controller, Black, well Midnight Black to be specific, but it is not allow as Cosmic Red is joining it.
The Midnight Black option is actually two different colours of black, the inner black is your more traditional and matches the black found on the default DualSense controller, where as the outer black is more of a matte finish, unless you look for it, you might not see it.
As for the Cosmic Red features that same core black colouring, but borders it with a more marron shade of red, which as PlayStation state, is inspired by the shades of red found throughout the cosmos.
“Our goal is to always find designs that will surprise and entice our fans, and these new colors are the result of an extensive selection process. We wanted the new controller colors to complement each other, as well as the original DualSense wireless controller and PS5 console, so we designed the colors around the theme of ‘galaxy’ as it felt like a natural progression from the original PS5 and accessories designs.”

“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.”

The controllers will be in stores starting next month, there is no confirmed date yet, but given the Days of Play event will be kicking off next month, I would imagine they would release during that. Price wise, RRP of $109.95 is what you can expect.
