Sony introduced its PlayStation Prism Collection on October 28, 2026, revealing transparent DualSense wireless controllers and matching PS5 console covers in Flare Orange, Emerald Green, and Graphite Gray. Pre-orders open on November 10, 2026, ahead of a launch starting February 4, 2027.
Sony’s official PlayStation Blog announcement explains that the collection was designed to give players a closer look at the craftsmanship inside its gaming accessories. The announcement also includes images of the three designs and confirms their pricing and release schedule.
Flare Orange uses a vivid orange finish, Emerald Green has a deep green look, and Graphite Gray offers a cooler, more muted style. All three designs combine transparent material with a glossy finish that gives players a partial view of the hardware beneath.
The Prism Collection focuses on appearance: Sony has not announced extra processing power or new game-performance features as part of these accessories. For context, TechBonafide’s report on the PS5 QSSR graphics update describes a separate software-based change that affects image quality in supported games.
The Prism Collection uses the standard DualSense controller design rather than introducing a new controller platform. As Sony’s official DualSense feature overview explains, the controller supports haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in compatible games.
Sony lists the recommended retail price of each Prism Collection DualSense controller at $84.99 in the United States, £74.99 in the United Kingdom, and €84.99 in Europe. Matching PS5 console covers have recommended prices of $74.99, £64.99, and €74.99, respectively. Actual retailer prices may vary.
Pre-orders begin on November 10, 2026, at 10 a.m. local time through participating retailers and PlayStation’s direct store where available. For U.S. customers ordering from PlayStation Direct, Sony specifies a 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET start.
The collection is set to launch starting February 4, 2027, although Sony says dates and availability can vary by country or region. The matching console covers will be sold directly by PlayStation in supported markets, with limited quantities available through selected retailers elsewhere.
The announcement adds another official controller design to the wider PS5 accessory range. Readers comparing the new DualSense design with alternative gamepads can check our guide to PS5 third-party controller compatibility to understand how support and features vary across controller options.
According to Sony’s design team, the transparent look draws inspiration from see-through gaming accessories of the late 1990s. The Prism designs update that style with high-gloss surfaces and metallic accents.
Existing PS5 owners can change the look of their setup without buying another console, but they should confirm that the new covers fit their exact PS5 model before ordering. Sony’s official guide to replacing PS5 console covers explains how to identify the console model and change the covers safely. Buyers should also check local prices and availability before placing an order.
