Update 8/19 9:38 am ET: These items were supposed to go live at 10 a.m. local time, but Target pulled the trigger early, and PlayStation Direct followed suit. PS Direct is now showing all of the items as unavailable (they may come back at 10 a.m.). But you can still preorder the Battle Yellow controller and the Digital PS5 console bundle right now at Target, with more retailers coming soon. Links below.
Marvel’s Wolverine comes out on September 15, and to go with it on that same day, Sony is also releasing a handful of new Wolverine-themed pieces of PlayStation 5 hardware. There’s a limited-edition PS5 Digital Edition bundle, some console covers, and a DualSense Wireless Controller, all decked out in black and either classic “Battle Yellow” or “Adamantium” white. They're all available for preorder on PlayStation Direct and a handful of other retailers. Read on for the details.

For those with no time to read blurbs, you can scroll through the catalog above to find the Wolverine-themed hardware for you.
DualSense Wireless Controller – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition
The Battle Yellow controller is bold and very “Wolverine-y.” I love it. It features three jagged yellow claw slashes across the touchpad and left grip, with some gray weathering on either side. The sticks and bottom portion of the controller are yellow, as are the shapes on the face buttons and the directions on the D-pad.
PS5 Digital Edition – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition Bundle
If you want a new PS5, you can preorder this bundle, which includes the Wolverine-themed PS5 Digital console, plus the yellow-and-black controller, plus a digital code for Marvel’s Wolverine.
The console has an etching of the X-Men hero’s angry, yelling face at the top, with a triple slash going diagonally down the side of the machine. The whole thing is yellow and black, just like Wolverine’s costume. The controller is the same one available separately (see above).
DualSense Wireless Controller – Marvel’s Wolverine Adamantium Limited Edition (Available at 10 a.m. Local Time)
This metallic white color scheme is inspired by Wolverine's alloy-infused skeleton. It's also a PS Direct exclusive.
PS5 Console Covers – Battle Yellow Limited Edition (Available at 10 a.m. Local Time)
Anyone who already has a PS5 Slim can pick up a set of Wolverine-themed console covers instead of buying the whole bundle. The standard PS5 console covers come with all the pieces you need to deck out your Slim PS5, regardless of whether you have the digital or disc edition.
PS5 Pro Console Covers – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition (Available at 10 a.m. Local Time)
If you have a PS5 Pro and you like the look of the yellow design, you can get these console covers. It includes panels for the standard digital console, as well as the disc drive attachment.
PS5 Pro Console Covers – Marvel’s Wolverine Adamantium Limited Edition (Available at 10 a.m. Local Time)
If you have a PS5 Pro and you don’t care for yellow (or just prefer your gaming hardware to come in more muted hues), you can pick up this set of console covers that are metallic white instead of yellow.
