PlayStation Unveils Transparent Prism Collection Hardware, Now Officially Available to Order
Transparent designs return
The Prism Collection brings transparent finishes to PlayStation 5 covers and DualSense controllers. The three color options are Flare Orange, Emerald Green and Graphite Gray, each showing some of the technology inside the accessories.
PlayStation designers said the collection draws on transparent controllers from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Designer Leo Cardoso said fans had called for their return, while Satoshi Aoyagi described how the selected colors appear through the material.
Prices and pre-order timing
Pre-orders opened through the official PlayStation Direct website in the USA at 7 AM PT/10 AM ET on November 10. The DualSense controllers cost $84.99 each, while the matching console covers are priced at $74.99. Although orders are available now, shipping is not due to begin until February 4, 2027.
Sony faces wider criticism
The launch comes amid criticism of Sony over PlayStation Plus price increases and its announcement that physical discs for upcoming first-party PlayStation games will be phased out by 2028. Some fans have called for a boycott until the decision is reversed. Sony has stood firm on the disc change, leaving uncertainty over the future, including around the eventual PlayStation 6 launch.
