 Sony/PlayStation

Sony has unveiled its newly designed DualSense wireless controllers and PlayStation 5 console covers for its PS5 consoles. The new colors in the Hyperpop Collection are red, green and blue, and they feature a gradient effect that shifts from black to bright neon.

"A seamless gradient wraps around the front and back of the DualSense, finished in a high-gloss coat that makes the colors pop more than ever," Sae Kobayashi, a member of Sony's Color, Material and Finish design team, said in a release about the launch on Wednesday. "The console covers are also getting the same glow-up, featuring a subtle hint of transparency."

Preorders begin on Jan. 16, with the collection officially launching on March 12.
