Explained simply
The PlayStation 5, or PS5, is Sony’s home video game console. Players control games with a DualSense controller, while removable console covers let them change the look of the machine.
Transparent electronics became fashionable in the late 1990s, when clear plastic casings showed the components inside devices. Sony has used see-through designs for controllers across several PlayStation generations, linking the new accessories to that earlier style.
The collection is part of the wider market for gaming accessories, which can offer players ways to personalise their equipment. Sony’s pricing and planned release dates will determine when the items are available and how much they cost.
