Report: Leaked Images Suggest PS5 White Covers Are Swappable

PS5 Custom Faceplates

Just last month, Sony finally unveiled the PS5 console design. Depending on whom you ask, it might be one of the best-looking console designs we’ve seen, or one of the worst. If you’re not a fan of the PS5 white covers, it seems those will be swappable in the future.

Spotted by ResetEra user Lant_War, Chinese site av9vg has posted what to seems to be images from a PS5 manufacturing location where we see the white plates aren’t installed, and it suggests that this cover thing will be something players can replace.

If this is legit, I can already picture Sony offering game-specific PS5 covers for pre-orders or just for sale — and I have to admit, that’s something I’m very interested in.

Note that nothing here has been confirmed or announced by Sony. We’ve reached to Sony and will update the post if we hear anything back.

Is this something you’d be interested in or do you think Sony won’t do it since it’ll harm the sales of their special edition PS5 consoles? Sound off and let us know your thoughts down in the comments below.

Thats insane! While xbox one has like 200 different looking consoles for trash games. Sony are smart, why make people buy more consoles when we can give them exactly what they want! I know sony also have their own limited ed consoles but nothing compared to MS

Don’t forget controllers, more controllers were released this gen for Xbone than games. This is the same console that people argue because of changeable batteries, you never need to buy another controller………… when its all they ever buy lol.

This would be cool but the top plate of the PS4 Pro is also removable but Sony never sold it separately as far as i’m aware…

Cool but neither PS4 top plate or Xbox 360 face plates were ever really made available beyond contests and user mods. so..

Even if you can’t buy the side panels, which I think may be a possibility, you can take them off and paint/vinyl wrap them, I really don’t like the white, I know there have been renderings of black and red which I also don’t like, but if I can take the panels off and do my own thing with them I’ll be happy.
