PS5 Getting New Controller, Console Cover Designed By LeBron James

PlayStation has announced a partnership with basketball star LeBron James for new PlayStation 5 accessories designed by the NBA superstar himself. The partnership includes a new PS5 console cover and a DualSense controller designed by LeBron in partnership with PlayStation.

The limited-edition pieces contain accents and wording like “Nothing Is Given. Everything Is Earned.” The design also includes imagery of a crown, which has been associated with LeBron and how he’s known as “King James.” The PS5 cover and controller also contain nods to LeBron’s “I Promise” charity, including the words “Chosen Ones” and “Build. Uplift. Empower.”
