PS5 DualSense Midnight Black and Cosmic Red Wireless Controllers Incoming
Slated for debut next month on June 11th, Sony is introducing two new PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller colors to the PS5Scene in Midnight Black and Cosmic Red with an official reveal PlayStation 5 trailer video and further details below! 
Pre-orders are now available for the Midnight Black DualSense Wireless Controller at $69.99 and the Cosmic Red DualSense Wireless Controller at $74.99 each, and to quote from Sony Peripherals Marketing and Licensing Senior Director Isabelle Tomatis on the full scoop:
Today, we’re thrilled to introduce two new colors that will be joining the DualSense controller lineup starting next month: Midnight Black and Cosmic Red.
Midnight Black features two subtly different shades of black with light grey detailing to reflect how we view space through the night sky, and Cosmic Red offers a striking black and red design inspired by the unique vivid shades of red found throughout the cosmos.
This new lineup of colors will be available at participating retailers globally starting next month. The exact date will vary by location, so check your local retailers for availability. Click here for more information about the new colors.
The DualSense controller marked a radical departure from our previous controllers by delivering innovative features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers (available in games that support these features). The features weren’t the only noticeable transformation – the bold, two-toned color choice was also a significant pivot from our previous controllers.
As this marks the first release of new colors for the DualSense controller, we asked Leo Cardoso and Satoshi Aoyagi from our design team to share some additional insights about the color...

PS5 M.2 SSD Drive Storage Expansion Upgrade Installation Guide
As previously announced in The Ultimate PS5 FAQ, following USB Extended Storage Sony plans to introduce PS5 M.2 SSD Drive Storage Expansion support this summer in the form of an upcoming PS5 Firmware Update that according to Bloomberg will also increase cooling fan speeds to prevent the console from overheating.
While it's currently not recommended to purchase an M.2 SSD Drive for PS5 until Sony confirms the full specification list of SSDs supported when the PlayStation 5 storage expansion bay is enabled, below is a handy video guide from NASCompares on YouTube covering the installation process in preparation for the internal storage upgrade!
For those just joining the PS5 Scene, upgrading the internal SSD storage is relatively simple requiring only flathead / phillips screwdrivers and a few minutes of time as Sony provides an adjustable screw (based on the SSD card's length) to hold down the PS5 Solid State Drive once inserted into the PlayStation 5 console.
