Forget Xbox, Sony has just introduced its own translucent controllers with the PS5 Prism collection — a nostalgic nod to retro gaming style that brings the late ‘90s into a clean, modern form.

See-through gaming hardware is enjoying attention at the moment, with the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X20 and Microsoft’s transparent Xbox Series X helping lead the trend. Sony is now joining that movement with a new set of PlayStation 5 covers and controllers that echo the era when transparency seemed to show up everywhere.

Called the Prism range, the new accessories arrive in three translucent finishes: Flare Orange, Emerald Green, and Graphite Gray.

As Sony noted, the DualSense controller is not the only piece getting the Prism look. The PS5 console itself can adopt one of the collection’s styles through three matching console covers made to attach to your PS5 and change its overall appearance.

Sony says the Prism PS5 controllers will cost $84.99 / £74.99 / €84.99, putting them slightly above the regular PS5 controller while still fitting within the range of other special editions.

The console covers, on the other hand, will cost $74.99 / £64.99 / €74.99. Pre-orders begin on November 10, 2026, and the products will officially go on sale on February 4, 2027.

We will be tracking the pre-orders for these products live, and the mix of polished finishes plus strong appeal for retro-minded and longtime PlayStation fans suggests they may sell quickly.

The goal was to revive the familiar see-through trend Here are a few unique rewrites that keep the same meaning and fit smoothly in a sentence: - **from the late 1990s in a new, contemporary style** - **with a late-’90s feel and a fresh modern twist** - **drawing on the late ’90s while feeling current and modern** - **inspired by the late ’90s, reimagined in a modern way** If you want, I can also make it sound **more formal, more casual, or more editorial** way that suits the PS5’s industrial design.
