The new colors are named Techno Red, Remix Green and Rhythm Blue, each featuring a gradient design that transitions from a glossy black to an intense neon hue.

The global launch of the Hyperpop Collection is scheduled for March 12, 2026. For the most eager players, pre-orders will begin on January 16 in select markets, including Estados Unidos, Reino Unido and several Europa countries, through the official PlayStation store and partner retailers.
A new look for the console
The design of the Hyperpop collection has been carefully crafted by the Cores, Materiais and Acabamentos team at Sony to stand out. The main inspiration came directly from RGB lights, an almost ubiquitous element in PC gamer setups and which has become a symbol of gaming culture. The objective was to create colors that not only complement the environment, but also become the center of attention. The result is a high-gloss finish that enhances the gradient effect, starting from a solid black at the top and smoothly transforming into the main neon color at the bottom of the accessories. Esse visual effect is applied to both the front and back of the DualSense controllers, providing a cohesive and impactful appearance. The console covers, in turn, follow the same color transition pattern and include subtle transparency details, which add a layer of depth and sophistication to the design without compromising the structural integrity of the product.
Available color options
Each of the three colors in the Hyperpop collection was developed to offer a unique visual identity, allowing players to choose the one that best represents their personal style.
The Techno Red features an intense and energetic shade of red, ideal for those looking for a more aggressive and flashy appearance in their gaming setup.
In turn, the Remix Green uses a vibrant neon green, a color that stands out immediately and gives a futuristic aesthetic to the console and controller.
Rhythm Blue offers an electric blue that, although striking, has a slightly softer glow compared to the other two options, making it a balanced choice for those who want color without excess.
