New PS5 console covers colours go on sale in June

Sony Interactive Entertainment will release three new PlayStation 5 console covers colours next month.

Starlight Blue, Galactic Purple and Nova Pink console covers will be available in selected regions beginning in June 2022, priced at $54.99 / £44.99.

Early access for players in the US, UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg will be available via PlayStation Direct starting on June 17.

The first PS5 console covers, Midnight Black and Cosmic Red, went on sale in January following the release of identically coloured DualSense controllers last year.

Nova Pink, Starlight Blue and Galactic Purple PS5 controllers were also released earlier this year.

It emerged last week that Sony appears to have registered a new PS5 model in Japan.

The company recently received construction design certification for what looks to be a new ‘CFI-1200’ series model featuring updated radio equipment.

The product was granted design certification by Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, which ensures that radio and wireless communication equipment conforms to certain technical standards.

Sony said last week that it shipped 11.5 million PS5 consoles during its financial year ended in March 2022, missing out on its initial target of 14.8 million, which it said was due to parts shortages.

The company expects to sell 18 million PS5 consoles during its current fiscal year.
