If you can’t stand the PS5’s two-tone design, you might want to jump on Dbrand’s Darkplates before Sony gets involved.
Months after its debut, the PS5’s design remains highly divisive, and while Sony has already shut down one accessory maker who tried making aftermarket panels for the PS5, Dbrand is now daring Sony to sue over its new matte black PS5 faceplates. Called Darkplates, Dbrand’s new PS5 addon isn’t just a sticker you can use to cover up the PS5’s stock white exterior, they’re full matte black plastic replacement panels that attach to the PS5 using the same grooves Sony uses to secure the default white side covers. While some people might worry about tinkering with their expensive new console, Dbrand jokingly claims that “99.98% of humans can successfully install Darkplates,” suggesting that even people typically afraid of modifying their game console should have no issue swapping out the PS5’s stock side panels for Dbrand’s Darkplates.
