2 new PS5 DualSense controllers featuring Midnight Black and Cosmic Red color schemes will be released next month.

Sony unveiled the new controllers via the PlayStation Web log. PS5 owners have been fashioning their own tailored DualSense colors since the new console was free, but these are the first of all official DualSense variants. They're expected to arrive on June 11, but exact release dates "will vary away location, so check your local retailers for availableness," Sony advised. Interrogatively, the red DualSense is somewhat more expensive at $74.99, patc the classic black is the customary $69.99. Hopefully it's easier to baffle a hold of these compared to the still-daunting process it takes to actually buy a PS5.

The default PlayStation controller has long been totally-bleak, so the early Midnight Fatal DualSense testament likely be comfortingly familiar for some. The matte black plates are subtly distinguished from the slick black pedestal, and where the default white DualSense uses greyed stunned buttons, here the face buttons have been redone to match the original PlayStation colors. It does spirit good to see that blue X again.

Cosmic Blood-red, meanwhile, is a slightly rosy red from topmost-to-bottom. Space was the main theme for the two colours, Sony says, with Midnight Black reflecting the night sky and Cosmic Coloured echoing the red clouds, stars, and some other anomalies sometimes seen in the creation.

We'll undoubtedly encounter more DualSense colours in the months and years ahead, and I suspect that the release of these two wish only increase call for for color variants of the console itself. Galore players like to fit their consoles and controllers, after all. We know that Sony isn't against the estimate of new PS5 colors, though information technology has done for after extraordinary third-company colored plates for the console, but IT hasn't hinted at whatsoever immediate plans for the option either.

Games are doing some unfriendly stuff with the DualSense. Here's a look at how Horizon Forbidden West uses its haptic features.
