The announcement of the Midnight Black Collection has further heightened anticipation among console enthusiasts. Adding to the excitement, there are whispers of a significant upgrade to the PlayStation VR2 headset, which could be another compelling reason for fans to invest in Sony's latest technology. The sleek, all-black design of the Midnight Black Collection transforms essential PS5 accessories into stylish, must-have items, tempting gamers to upgrade their gear.
Sony has introduced the Midnight Black Collection, offering a chic, shadowy aesthetic to the DualSense Edge wireless controller, PlayStation Portal, Pulse Elite wireless headset, and Pulse Explore wireless earbuds. The original Midnight Black DualSense controller was first rumored in 2020 and officially released in June 2021. The new Edge controller, accompanied by its own black carrying case, brings a modern touch to the lineup. Priced at $199.99, the DualSense Edge Midnight Black controller aligns with the cost of the PlayStation Portal.
