The PS5’s DualSense is a pretty interesting departure from the stock DualShock controllers we’ve been getting with each new PlayStation consoles over the years, thanks to its new name, a new primarily-white theming, and its unique features, such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. So far, we’ve only seen the controller in white, which is the default colour, but it seems images showing a black variant of the DualSense have also leaked online.
Originating on the True-Gaming forums, the images have now appeared on Twitter as well (you can view them below), and show the black controller from several angles, while also showing its specific dimensions and comparing its size with the standard white DualSense. The images look real enough, but there’s every chance that these are not representative of the final product (or even that they’re real), so tread with caution for now.
Sony have previously said that they will eventually be talking about additional colour options of the PS5 and the DualSense, and it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that black variants will be available for both.
Recently, Sony uploaded 360 degree views of confirmed PS5 accessories, including the DualSense. Check them out through here. It has also been confirmed that players will not be able to play PS5 games using the DualShock 4 controller.
