Introducing Sony's Noir Collection for PS5

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 controller, PlayStation Portal, Pulse Elite wireless headset, and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds. These additions to the existing Midnight Black lineup offer a sophisticated dark aesthetic for gamers.

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 less at $149.99. Pre-orders begin January 16th, 2025, with a full launch on February 20th, 2025, exclusively through direct.playstation.com.

This announcement follows the excitement surrounding CES 2025 and adds to the anticipation surrounding potential PlayStation VR2 upgrades rumored to be on the horizon. The Midnight Black Collection provides a sleek, dark alternative to the standard white PS5 accessories.

The DualSense Edge controller in Midnight Black, featuring a modern design and included black carrying case, stands out as a premium offering. The price point of $199.99 mirrors that of the PlayStation Portal. The Pulse Elite headset, while more expensive than its predecessor ($149.99 vs. $99.99), includes a felt gray carrying case (shared with the earbuds). The Pulse Explore earbuds, also priced at $199.99, provide a premium in-ear audio experience.

Beyond the Midnight Black Collection, Sony continues to expand its range of themed DualSense controllers, with recent releases including those for God of War and Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Another notable addition is the limited-edition Helldivers 2 DualSense controller, currently available for pre-order.
