PlayStation Announces Hyperpop Collection for PS5 Accessories
PlayStation has unveiled a new range of accessories called the Hyperpop Collection that features three different color variants for the DualSense wireless controllers and PS5 console side plates. The collection thus adds an aesthetic that moves beyond the monochromatic themes previously released for the console.
Design and Colorways
Three new designs: Techno Red, Remix Green, and Rhythm Blue. The inspiration behind the color and design, as stated by the design team from Sony, was from glow RGB lights seen in gaming setups.
Says the PlayStation Blog: "Glossy blacks shifting into vivid neons give every finish an all-new aesthetic for your gaming setup."
Sae Kobayashi, a member of the design team, then goes on to highlight some technical features of the finish: "A seamless gradient wraps around the front and back of the DualSense, finished in a high-gloss coat that makes the colors POP more than ever. The console covers are getting the same glow-up, featuring a subtle hint of transparency."
The finish being glossy is a double-edged sword; the appearance of the new collection, mostly in its selection of high-gloss finish, could be contentious. While the console plates may be left untouched once installed, the controllers will be in hand the entire time, making them all the more vulnerable to fingerprints and smudges on every subsequent use.
