PlayStation has announced a swish new PlayStation 5 cover and special DualSense controller design created in collaboration with sports icon, LeBron James.
The cover and DualSense are both all-black and sporting James’ iconic motifs and inspirational slogans like “Nothing is Given. Everything Is Earned” and “Build. Uplift. Empower” which is a massive improvement over my controller at home that one of my friends wrote “mid” on with a sharpie.

PlayStation says that “fans in select markets will be able to preorder the accessories exclusively through direct.playstation.com later this year” which makes it sound like Aussies might miss out on this one, but we’ll be sure to keep an eye on any local availability or pricing details.
The designs come by way of the new PlayStation Playmakers program, spotlighting stories from a dynamic and evolving network of talent who are passionate about sharing their love for PlayStation and video games with the world.
“It’s still crazy to think a kid from Akron who grew up playing games is getting to create something like this. Designing a console cover and controller with PlayStation that gives a nod to my I Promise students and where we come from is a pretty cool thing. I hope it’s something that continues to inspire everyone who touches it, and that they have a little fun finding meaning in every detail.”
