Sony Reveals Slick Midnight Black PS5 Model, But It's a Japan Exclusive for Now

But to be clear, it's just the colour that's different here. The console's outer casing, and the DualSense controller that's bundled with the system, are of the 'Midnight Black' variety. It's a lovely looking PS5, but again, it's exclusive to Japan for the time being. That's because this is a variant of Japan's region-locked console , which was revealed in November of last year. At a system level, this version of the PS5 supports the Japanese language exclusively. It was introduced in order to shield the Japanese market from the significant price increases that have recently hamstrung Sony's hardware business.
