PlayStation is bringing back the '90s transparent trend with the Prism Collection, a spread of DualSense controllers and matching PS5 covers in three new colorways.
Preorders open on November 10 at 10am local time ahead of the collection's full launch next year. The Prism Collection DualSense controllers, available in Flare Orange, Emerald Green, and Graphite Gray, are releasing globally with a recommended retail price (RRP) of $84.99 USD (€84.99/£74.99). Matching PS5 console covers have an RRP of $74.99 USD (€74.99/£64.99).
A PlayStation blog post offers a closer look at the new see-through designs. The images are accompanied by insights from the design team, who were particularly “excited to bring a transparent appearance to PS5.”
"We wanted to bring back the iconic see-through trend of the late '90s in a fresh, modern way that complements the PS5’s industrial design," said PlayStation designer Leo Cardoso. The blog post also highlights that the see-through casing offers a “closer look at the design and craftsmanship behind our DualSense controllers and PlayStation 5 consoles.”
Fellow designer Satoshi Aoyagi describes the three colors the team chose to showcase the transparent mould: “A vibrant orange that subtly takes on a rosy hue where the transparent material overlaps, a deep hunter green that gains depth through its transparency, and a cool-toned storm gray.”
The full Prism Collection will be available to preorder from PlayStation Direct and select retailers starting November 10, with the full release scheduled for February 4.
Sony has released over a dozen DualSense color variants in the PS5 generation on top of limited-edition controllers tied to specific game releases like Astro Bot and Death Stranding .
