On December 13, 2021, PlayStation has revealed coloured accessories, including three new DualSense wireless controllers and new PS5 console covers to match the wireless controllers.

Overall, the DualSense wireless controllers and Sony PS5 faceplates will come in five colours, including black, red, pink, blue and purple. All the faceplates will work with the latest PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition consoles and can be put on by removing the white PS5 console cover.

As mentioned in the official blog post, PlayStation 5 console covers come in the following colours: Midnight Black, Cosmic Red, Nova Pink, Starlight Blue and Galactic Purple.
