The new products are exclusively compatible with the PS5 model Slim, both in the disc and digital versions, maintaining all the technical functionalities of the original accessories. The proposal is to offer a customization option that visually stands out in the game environment.
The visual concept of the Hyperpop collection
The new Hyperpop collection stands out with a bold and energetic aesthetic, designed to be the center of attention in any gaming setup. The design is characterized by a continuous gradient that starts from a solid black with a glossy finish and smoothly transitions to one of three neon colors: red, green or blue. Esse gradient effect wraps the entire surface of the DualSense controller and console lids, creating a cohesive and fluid appearance. The high-gloss, or glossy, finish was chosen specifically to intensify the vibrancy of the colors, making them react dynamically to ambient light and stand out even more. Segundo the designers at The subtlety of the color transition, combined with the intense shine, gives the accessories a premium and modern look.
The three announced color variants
The Hyperpop collection will launch with three distinct options, allowing players to choose the one that best aligns with their style and visual preference.
The first variant is the Techno Red, which features a transition to a vibrant neon red, ideal for those who prefer setups with warm and aggressive tones, conveying a feeling of action and energy.
The second option is the Remix Green, with an intense lime green that directly refers to the cyberpunk aesthetic and personalized high-tech lighting, making it a popular choice in the gamer universe.
Finally, the Rhythm Blue offers a bright electric blue tone, which, while intense, can provide a calmer, more focused feel, adapting well to different types of gaming environments.
Global launch and pre-order details

For the most eager consumers, Sony will open the pre-sale period almost two months earlier, starting January 16.

Isso means players will continue to enjoy immersive features like haptic feedback, which simulates haptic sensations, and adaptive triggers, which adjust resistance based on in-game action. The only change is purely aesthetic, ensuring full compatibility with all PS5 games.
The covers, in turn, were designed exclusively for the recently launched PS5 model Slim. Elas are compatible with both the version that includes the Blu-ray disc player and the fully digital version of the console. Installation is simple, allowing the user to change the appearance of their video game in just a few minutes.

By offering more customization options, the Sony meets a growing demand in the gaming market for products that reflect the individuality and personal style of each player, transforming the console and its peripherals into part of the decoration of the gaming environment.
Availability in the Brazilian market
So far, Sony has not officially confirmed the release date of the Hyperpop collection on Brasil. The company’s common practice for limited edition accessories is to carry out a staggered launch, prioritizing markets such as América from Norte and Europa. Geralmente, products like this arrive on the Brazilian market a few months after the global launch, with distribution managed by PlayStation’s local subsidiary. It is important to note that in previous releases, availability has been limited and prices may vary significantly due to import taxes and currency fluctuation. Interested Brazilian players should follow the official PlayStation Brasil channels to obtain updated information about the arrival and prices of the new collection in the country.
Inspiration from the modern gamer universe
The Sony design team revealed that the main source of inspiration for the Hyperpop collection was close observation of contemporary gaming setups. RGB lights, which have become a nearly ubiquitous element in peripherals like keyboards, mice and PC cases, were the central reference for the neon color palette and glossy finish of the new accessories.
Leo Cardoso, one of the designers involved in the project, explained that the objective was to create products that not only function well, but also occupy a prominent visual space in the player’s living room or bedroom. The idea is that the console and control integrate with the ambient lighting, transmitting a feeling of energy and immediate visual impact, even when they are not in use.
