PS5 Prism Collection: Clear DualSense, Price and Date
Sony's transparent Prism DualSense costs $84.99 and the PS5 covers $74.99. Pre-orders open November 10, launch is February 4, 2027.
See-through controllers are back. Sony has announced the Prism Collection, a set of transparent DualSense controllers and matching PS5 console covers, and pre-orders open on November 10.
What happened
In a PlayStation Blog post on October 28, Sony revealed three colours: Flare Orange, Emerald Green and Graphite Gray. Each one has a glossy clear shell that lets you see the inside of the controller, plus a metallic middle cover. Sony's design team says the idea was to bring back the late-'90s transparent look in a way that suits the PS5. IGN also shared the reveal trailer on X.
Here's the pricing Sony gave:
- DualSense controller: $84.99, €84.99, £74.99 or ¥12,480. That works out to roughly ₹8,100 at current exchange rates.
- PS5 console cover: $74.99, €74.99, £64.99 or ¥9,980, which is roughly ₹7,100.
Sony hasn't announced an Indian price yet, so treat those rupee figures as conversions, not the real tag. Pre-orders start November 10 at 10am local time. In the US that's 7am PT on direct.playstation.com. The collection launches from February 4, 2027, and Sony says dates can vary by region.
Why it matters
The controllers are sold globally through retailers. The covers are different. They're sold only direct from PlayStation in the 11 countries where Sony runs its own store (the US, UK, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal and Italy). Everywhere else they'll show up at select retailers in limited quantities. If you live outside those countries and want a matching set, that's the part that might sell out first.
I like the look, but $84.99 is a fair bit more than a standard DualSense, and you're paying that mostly for the shell. Sony also hasn't said in this post which PS5 models the covers fit, so check that before you order one.
What to do
- Set a reminder for November 10 at 10am your local time if you want launch stock, especially the covers.
- Check the listing for console compatibility before buying a cover.
- If your current PS5 runs hot, a new shell won't help. My guide to fixing PS5 overheating and shutdowns covers the dust and airflow checks worth doing first.
