Remember when game consoles weren’t afraid to be fun? Transparent shells, bold colors—those days feel distant.
What’s in the Hyperpop Collection?
The Hyperpop Collection features three new designs for both PS5 console covers and Dualsense controllers: Techno Red, Remix Green, and Rhythm Blue. The console shells boast a striking gradient, transitioning from black at the top to a vibrant color at the bottom—a design best showcased when the PS5 is positioned vertically.
The Price of Style
Console covers will retail for $75, while the Hyperpop Dualsense controllers are priced at $85—a $10 premium over the standard Dualsense. While the extra cost might raise an eyebrow, the gradient design is considered worth the splurge by many.
