The console covers feature a limited view of internal components—primarily the fan and a few surrounding parts—while a metallic finish on the central panel ties the transparent and opaque surfaces together.

Sony’s Prism Collection Brings Transparent PS5 Controllers Back to the Future

Sony’s foray into translucent hardware dates back to the PlayStation 1 era, when early see-through controllers first appeared. In 2002 the company released the Ocean Blue and Zen Black PS2 consoles with matching DualShock 2 controllers, followed by the Crystal DualShock 4 line for the PS4 in 2016 and expanded crystal variants in 2017. More recent colour-focused releases include the 2024 Chroma Collection and the 2024 Hyperpop Collection, which added hints of transparency to console covers. The Prism Collection marks the first time the controller itself, rather than a game-specific tie-in, is the primary aesthetic focus.
