Sony opened pre-orders for the PS5 Prism Collection on November 10, 2026. The lineup is three transparent DualSense controllers and three matching sets of console covers.

Three colors

Each color comes as both a controller and a set of covers.

What's different

The shell is a clear, high-gloss plastic, so you can see the hardware through the back of the controller. The console's middle section has a metallic finish. Sony says the orange picks up a rosy tint where the clear layers overlap, and the green gains depth.

Sony pitches the collection as a return to the see-through gadgets of the late '90s.

Which consoles the covers fit

The covers fit only the current slim PS5 (model groups CFI-2000 and CFI-2100), with or without a disc drive. That's stated on the PlayStation Direct product page.

There are no covers for the PS5 Pro, so Pro owners can only buy the controllers, as PlayStation LifeStyle and TechRadar note. No version is listed for the original 2020 PS5 either.

The controllers work with every PS5.

Where and when to buy

Pre-orders opened November 10 at 10 a.m. ET, 7 a.m. PT at PlayStation Direct. Controllers are also at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart and GameStop, according to TechRadar and The Shortcut.

One catch: in the US, the console covers are sold only direct from PlayStation. The controllers are widely available.

The release date is February 4, 2027. Sony notes that exact dates can vary by country.

What it means for you

If you want a controller, there's no rush. Launch is almost three months away, and the outlets covering the pre-orders live haven't reported sell-outs. The covers are the harder buy, since PlayStation Direct is the only place to get them.

The clear shell doesn't change how anything plays. It's the same DualSense inside. If yours runs out of charge too fast, start with our guide to DualSense battery life.
