Sony is injecting vibrant color into the PlayStation ecosystem with its new Hyperpop Collection. The line includes redesigned DualSense wireless controllers and console covers for the PS5, featuring striking red, green, and blue gradient finishes.
Neon Aesthetic Inspired by Gaming Culture
The color scheme, officially dubbed techno red, remix green, and rhythm blue, is a direct nod to the aesthetic of RGB lighting commonly found in gaming setups. According to Sony’s design team, the gradient effect transitions from black to a bright neon, providing a bold visual upgrade.
“A seamless gradient wraps around the front and back of the DualSense, finished in a high-gloss coat that makes the colors pop more than ever,” explained Sae Kobayashi, a member of Sony’s Color, Material, and Finish team. The console covers echo this design, incorporating a subtle translucent effect.
Availability and Release Dates
Preorders for the Hyperpop Collection open on January 16th, with the official launch scheduled for March 12th. This release further expands Sony’s customization options for PS5 owners, allowing for a more personalized gaming experience.
The Hyperpop Collection is a clear response to consumer demand for greater aesthetic choice in gaming hardware. Sony’s willingness to embrace bolder designs suggests an understanding that color and style are increasingly important factors for many players.
