Summary
- PlayStation has confirmed it will be releasing more PS5 accessories in Midnight Black.
- The PlayStation Portal, Elite Headset, Explore Earbuds, and DualSense Edge are all getting black makeovers.
- Pre-orders for the items will begin on January 16, 2025, with a release date of February 20, 2025.
Part of what was a very busy holiday period for both confirmed and rumored new PlayStation hardware was chatter about more of the PS5‘s accessories being added to the console’s Midnight Black collection. Those rumors have now been confirmed as PlayStation has revealed which accessories will be getting a black makeover, how much they will cost, and when you will be able to pre-order them.
The DualSense and PS5 covers have been available in Midnight Black for a while, and joining them, as confirmed via the PlayStation Blog, is the DualSense Edge, the PlayStation Portal, the Pulse Explore Earbuds, and the Pulse Elite Headset. The standout among those four additions is the Portal both because it isn’t currently available in many color options, and because it sells out fast regardless of its color.

The Portal was heavily critiqued when revealed in 2023 due to it needing a PS5 to function. That didn’t stop it from selling out almost immediately and until now, the only color options have been white and PS1 grey, the latter selling out even faster than the standard model. The black Portal comes with a matching black carry case and will cost the same as the white version – $199.99. That wasn’t guaranteed with the 30th anniversary edition costing $20 more.

The Midnight Black earbuds will likely be the second most sought-after item of the four since, much like the white Portal, the standard version sold out very quickly once pre-orders went live. That’s despite their lofty price point of $199.99 which will also apply to the black earbuds. The black Pulse Elite headset will be quite a bit cheaper, like the white headset, at $149.99. The case for the earbuds and the hangar for the headset will also be black, and both will come with a felt grey carry case.
Rounding out the new additions to the Midnight Black collection is a black DualSense Edge which, like everything else revealed today, comes with a matching accessory. In the Edge’s case, that’s a carry case. The controller will also retain the same price as the original version of the DualSense Edge and retail for $199.99.
Pre-orders for all four items will begin exclusively at PlayStation Direct on January 16, 2025. Links will go live at 10 am EST in the US, but that will likely differ depending on where you are in the world. The items will be released on February 20, 2025, so only a little more than a month to wait if you do manage to grab something from the collection at the first time of asking.
