After an entire weekend full of rumors, Sony has finally confirmed that it is going to release two new DualSense colors soon.
Starting in June, the Midnight Black and Cosmic Red colors will be joining the default black-and-white colorway. Leo Cardoso of the Sony Interactive Entertainment design team explained that the specific colors were chosen as they "felt like a natural progression from the original PS5 and accessories designs."
Sony Finally Gives Fans More DualSense Color Options
One of the most surprising things about Sony's DualSense reveal was the colorway. Most were shocked that Sony went with a drastically different theme. Sony had usually gone with black and gray controllers since the original PlayStation back in the 90s. In fact, the DualShock 2, 3, and 4, all released with black colors by default.
So, when Sony revealed the black-and-white color of the DualSense, most weren't quite sure what to make of it. This is especially since Microsoft went with a similar look for the new controller of their next-gen console, the Xbox Series X.
With that said, the public and critical reception to the DualSense has, so far, been good. The features that most believed were a gimmick at first have been praised as having helped make games more impressive.
So, for Sony to finally give fans what they wanted a little over a year after first unveiling the DualSense is a big deal.
