Complementing the console’s default white controller with its provocative, postmodern “subverted negative space” aesthetic, the new Cosmic Red and Midnight Black controllers introduce some paradoxical whimsy to the PS5’s accessories catalogue.
Yes, I took art class in high school. How’d you know? I’M NOT PRETENTIOUS, YOU’RE PRETENTIOUS.
Anyway, the controllers launch next month in the US and other markets, according to the PlayStation blog, but “exact date will vary by location” and local availability isn’t confirmed at publish time.
Midnight Black features two subtly different shades of black with light grey detailing to reflect how we view space through the night sky, and Cosmic Red offers a striking black and red design inspired by the unique vivid shades of red found throughout the cosmos.
More importantly, though, the chicky-nuggz grease smudges probably won’t be so obvious on red or black. Bonus.
