PlayStation announced the first new colour options for PS5 DualSense controllers of 2026: three new vibrant colours as part of the Hyperpop Collection.
Inspired by RGB lighting, the Hyperpop Collection comes in supremely bright red (Techno Red), green (Remix Green) and blue (Rhythm Blue) colours. But with a catch: the black fade isn’t a lighting trick, the controller is only halfway coloured in those bright colours, the top portion is all black.
The face buttons, d-pad, share and menu buttons have coloured accents on top of their black base. The off-colour plastic (the black coloured trim on a regular DualSense controller that surrounds the analog stick) has a different shade to the rest of the controller given it’s made out of different materials, but should blend well enough to match the striking colour blend on the rest of the controller shell. The analog sticks match the colours of the controller.
Would’ve been cool if it somehow has that two-tone colour scheme where in the right lighting it can appear all black while another pops brightly in red, green or blue, but that’s not the Hyperpop Collection.
The Hyperpop Collection also includes matching covers for the PS5 slim models (i.e. not the big, discontinued launch versions of the PS5), with limited availability. These also has a fade-to-black gradient going, with the PlayStation logo accented to match the rest of the cover, giving it a pop.
It’s nice to see PlayStation boldly exploring bolder colours. The original launch PS5 only have soft, pastel colour palettes.
The Hyperpop Collection PS5 DualSense controllers come with a premium price tag. In Malaysia, expect to pay RM419 for one of these, an extra RM50 on the regular MSRP of a default colour DualSense. The console covers will retail at RM369.
The Hyperpop Collection of PS5 accessories will be made available on March 12 in Southeast Asia.
