If you’re lucky enough to be one of the few who own a PS5, you’ll soon be able to purchase two new colored DualSense controllers. Next month Sony is releasing two new colorways; Midnight Black and Cosmic Red.

Midnight Black features two shades of black with light grey detailing and is representative of how we view space through the night sky. Cosmic Red, on the other hand, has an eye-catching black and red design inspired by vibrant shades of red found throughout the cosmos.

Leo Cardoso and Satoshi Aoyagi from Sony’s design department explained in a blog post how the new colors are meant to complement the PS5.

“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,” explained Cardoso. “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.”

Aoyagi elaborated on this more by adding, “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.”

Along with the new colors, these PS5 controllers contain all the standard features such as haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, a built-in microphone and headset jack, an integrated speaker, and a create button.
