## Summary

Sony has announced its Prism Collection, a range of translucent accessories for PlayStation 5 that includes DualSense controllers and console covers in Flare Orange, Emerald Green and Graphite Gray. The designs reveal much of the controllers’ inner components, while the covers show the console fan and a few other parts, reviving a colourful see-through style associated with early 2000s technology.

Controllers will cost $85 and covers $75, with pre-orders opening on 10 November and shipping due to begin on 4 February. The prices are similar to existing options but higher than basic models, and the launch comes as Sony plans to stop producing physical game discs from 2028, adding to debate about the decline of physical media and digital game ownership.
