The console's original white-and-black look has been joined by a growing range of colorful DualSense controllers and interchangeable console covers, giving players a range of flashy options. Earlier this year, the Hyperpop Collection introduced Techno Red, Remix Green, and Rhythm Blue, complete with glossy finishes and bold neon gradients. Some of PlayStation's most sought-after designs, however, have been inspired by individual games. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Ghost of Yōtei both received their own special-edition consoles and matching controllers, while other upcoming releases such as GTA 6 will put fresh spins on the DualSense as well. Between these game-themed accessories and Sony's broader color collections, there's been no shortage of ways for PS5 owners to personalize their setups. Now, PlayStation has officially unveiled another sleek new collection, and its latest designs are sure to be a hit among longtime gamers. PlayStation has finally answered one of the PS5 community's longest-running requests, officially unveiling a brand-new collection of transparent hardware accessories nearly six years after the console first launched. Announced on October 28, Sony's new Prism Collection brings back the nostalgic see-through aesthetic that was especially popular in the late 1990s, giving players a glimpse beneath the surface of their favorite PlayStation hardware. The Prism Collection includes three different designs, each available for the DualSense wireless controller and matching PS5 console covers: Flare Orange: "The luminous Flare Orange brings a bold and vibrant aesthetic to a PS5 setup." Emerald Green: "The elegant Emerald Green features a silky green exterior." Graphite Gray: "The classy Graphite Gray presents a refined gray design." All three designs feature a premium high-gloss finish, with transparent materials that offer a closer look at the hardware beneath. Sony has also incorporated a metallic finish into the controller's middle section, contrasting with the translucent exterior. The announcement is particularly exciting considering transparent PlayStation controllers have been a highly requested feature for years, and Sony's design team acknowledged as much in the official announcement. According to designer Leo Cardoso, the intention was to revive the iconic see-through gaming hardware of the late 1990s while giving it a modern appearance that complements the PS5's overall design. For players who grew up with transparent controllers and colorful gaming hardware, the Prism Collection should be an especially welcome addition to PlayStation's growing accessory lineup. As for availability, the Prism Collection officially launches starting February 4, 2027, with pre-orders opening November 10, 2026. Here's the confirmed pricing for the United States: Prism DualSense Wireless Controller: $84.99 Prism PS5 Console Covers: $74.99 American customers can pre-order directly through PlayStation Direct beginning November 10, with participating retailers also offering pre-orders. The console covers will be exclusive to PlayStation Direct in regions where the service operates, although limited quantities will be distributed through select retailers elsewhere. Sony has also cautioned that the precise launch dates and availability may vary between regions. Given how many different controller and console designs PlayStation has released over the years, it's somewhat surprising that transparent hardware has taken this long to make its comeback. Nevertheless, the Prism Collection feels like a fitting tribute to one of gaming's most beloved design trends, and one that longtime PlayStation enthusiasts will undoubtedly appreciate.
