When Sony first revealed the sci-fi-inspired design of the PlayStation 5, its future owners split into two camps: those who loved the minimalist black-and-white color scheme and sleek curves, and those who wished Microsoft was in charge of the console’s design. Regardless of which of the two camps you belong to, you can now make your PlayStation 5 a bit more exciting by pre-ordering two new DualSense controllers — Midnight Black and Cosmic Red.

Well, the controllers are functionally identical to the standard PS5 DualSense controller, but their colors are different. The Midnight Black controller features two subtly different shades of black with light grey, while the Cosmic Red controller offers a striking black and red that should remind you of the shades of red found throughout the cosmos.

Here’s what these hot new Midnight Black and Cosmic Red DualSense controllers will look like:

Where To Pre-Order The New DualSense Controllers?

According to Sony, the two new DualSense controllers will be available at participating retailers globally starting next month for $69.99, with the exact date varying from location to location.

If you would like to avoid waiting in line and possibly leaving with empty hands (and who wouldn’t with the novel coronavirus pandemic still stretching the capacity of hospitals in many countries around the world), you can pre-order the controllers online at:

If you would like to receive your new DualSense controller as soon as possible, then pre-ordering it from PlayStation Direct is your best option since it ships approximately a week ahead of other retailers, on June 11th.

With the release of the new color schemes, PlayStation 5 owners finally get to enjoy additional customization options beyond Dbrand’s Darkplates and other third-party accessories, making it easier for them to ensure that their video gaming console matches their personal style.

AltoVolo has started taking pre-orders for its first electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, the Sigma, moving the startup closer to commercial rollout. Customers can now secure a build slot with a £860 deposit and customize every detail online — from paintwork to seatbelt stitching. It’s the first configurator of its kind for a civilian eVTOL, mirroring how luxury car brands let clients tailor performance models before production.

The Sigma runs on a hybrid-electric tilting jet system built for long range and low noise. It can travel up to 500 miles at a 220-mph cruise, and is over 80% quieter than a helicopter. The three-seater weighs just 980kg and can maintain stable flight even if one jet fails. Safety systems include triple-redundant controls, thrust-vectoring stability and a ballistic parachute.

“We will be delivering an ultra-refined hybrid electric aircraft,” said founder and CEO Will Wood. “We believe there are thousands of customers for this type of cutting-edge technology”.

The first 100 units will come with exclusive materials and finishes. AltoVolo is also setting up a global service and maintenance network, with early planning for overhaul schedules already underway. The company’s focus on ownership experience echoes its ambition to anchor itself alongside established aviation brands rather than pure tech ventures.

To help new owners train, the company has built a full-scale simulator that replicates the Sigma cockpit in carbon fiber and leather. Pilots can log time toward a license using the system, aligned with the new US MOSAIC rules that ease certification for powered-lift aircraft. Certification work in Europe and the UK continues in parallel, signaling growing international alignment around light sport and eVTOL regulation.

Noise inside the cabin has become another design focus. Engineers are refining internal vibration levels and developing a responsive soundscape that shifts with each jet’s power load — part feedback, part theatre.

Urban air mobility projects across the Gulf and elsewhere are pushing regulators and manufacturers to meet in the middle. Dubai, Riyadh and Doha have each outlined plans for air taxi corridors this decade. AltoVolo’s hybrid Sigma, sitting between electric promise and aviation realism, looks built for that middle ground.
