The first in-the-flesh images showing PS5’s new controller colours have been published, via Japanese siteGame Watch.
Until now, the controller has only been available in its standard black and white design, but the two new colours will be released this month, with the specific date differing depending on the country.
In the US and the UK, the Midnight Black and Cosmic Red controllers will launch on June 18.
“Midnight Black features two subtly different shades of black with light grey detailing to reflect how we view space through the night sky,”Sony said last month.
Cosmic Red, meanwhile, “offers a striking black and red design inspired by the unique vivid shades of red found throughout the cosmos”.
