DualSense PS5 Controller Colours Guide

What are all the DualSense PS5 controller colours? What limited edition DualSense PS5 controllers are available? As with all previous PlayStation consoles, the PS5's official controller comes in a variety of different colour schemes. Sony usually spreads these out over the course of a generation, but we end up with a wide variety of choice in colours. If you're not a big fan of the default white and black design, you can find alternatives that are more to your tastes.

You can quickly buy any DualSense controller that takes your fancy by browsing stock in our widget below, or keep on scrolling to take a closer look at every DualSense PS5 controller colour scheme released to date individually – including the new DualSense Edge.

All DualSense PS5 Controller Colours (by Release Date)

Here's a list of every official DualSense PS5 controller colour scheme so far. Note that stock can be very unpredictable for all designs – especially the fancier colours – so make sure to check each option listed if your preferred retailer is currently sold out.

Remember that you can also pick up official matching console covers: PS5 Console Covers: All Colours And Where To Buy Them.

Original White

Release date: 12th November 2020 🇺🇸 / 19th November 2020 🇬🇧

This is the standard DualSense colour scheme, and will be what comes with your shiny new PS5 console. It matches the machine's white and black design, and if you ask us, it's pretty darn snazzy. Just don't use it while you're eating Doritos.

Midnight Black

Release date: 11th June 2021 🇺🇸 / 18th June 2021 🇬🇧

The design PS5 users have been waiting for, Midnight Black is a solid black DualSense controller. Many have become accustomed to the all-black PlayStation pads over the years, so this is a great option if you like your controllers uniform.

Cosmic Red

Release date: 11th June 2021 🇺🇸 / 18th June 2021 🇬🇧

Cosmic Red is a vivid colour scheme that gives the DualSense PS5 controller a bit of pizazz. Replacing the default white with a bright red hue, this is a fun alternative for those looking for a more colourful controller.

Nova Pink

Release date: 14th January 2022

Taking things a step beyond red, Nova Pink lightens things up. It's a great colour that leans towards the hot pink side of the spectrum.

Starlight Blue

Release date: 14th January 2022

A blue controller is usually a popular choice, so it makes sense for Sony to offer a blue DualSense. This one is on the lighter side, offsetting the black section of the pad nicely.

Galactic Purple

Release date: 14th January 2022

Galactic Purple is a lovely deep hue for your DualSense controller. If you're not into a colour as brash as red but still want something more vibrant than black or white, here's your winner.

Grey Camouflage

Release date: 14th October 2022 (PS Store Exclusive) / 28th October 2022 (All Retail)

Can you see anything in those images? We can't see anything... Yes, Sony has launched a brand new camouflage controller for the PS5, complete with a cool little micro-pattern of the iconic PlayStation shapes.

There's also a matching headset, should you want to complete the look.

⭐️ God of War Ragnarok

Release date: 9th November 2022

The first limited edition DualSense controller inspired by a franchise is here, with this utterly gorgeous God of War Ragnarok design. We've already covered this one in our mega purchase guide for the game – which is also tracking the best deals on the game itself, the special PS5 console bundle, and more – but here are those links again.

Just bear in mind that stock is incredibly hard to come by for this one!

⭐️ Hogwarts Legacy

DualSense Hogwarts Legacy Controller
