The Interchangeable PS5 Cases: Fact or Fiction?

When PS4 hit the market, it introduced so-called dynamic themes that let you change the aesthetic appearance of console menus to offer wallpapers, icons, and sounds. And is that personalization is a feature that users usually welcome, so what if PS5 went up one more step in this regard?

PS5 could be customizable

From the first moment that Sony officially presented the PS5 in great detail, there were many who begged for a black version. At the moment it seems that none of this will happen, since the original design of the console is completely white, but it seems that there could be some hope with which to get, not only a black version, but any type of version you can imagine .

The secret would be in the console casing itself, since thanks to filtered images that seem to be taken on the assembly line, we can see how the console’s side covers seem to have anchoring systems that invite us to think about the possibility of withdrawing them whenever we want.

In this way, users could remove the console casing without the need for screwdrivers or any other type of tool, so we could be faced with a customization system that would allow changing the aesthetic appearance of the console in an especially easy way.

It is real?

The images showing the housings with the anchors seem quite reliable, however the idea of changing the exterior appearance of the console may not be something you see especially clearly. Well, it turns out that the vice president of user experience at PlayStation, Matt MacLaurin, wrote in his Linkedin profile that PS5 will have special editions and that, in addition, the console will include customization options that previous generations did not have.

Knowing that, there is no doubt that the interchangeable case proposal would fit these statements quite well, so there would still be a chance to see a black PS5 for launch day. As long as, of course, Sony or some third-party manufacturer brings a color casing to stores for the day the console goes on sale.

The alternative designs of PS5

Since it was shown to the world, many users have given their imaginations free rein to create alternative PS5 designs to modify the immaculate appearance of the original white version. There are many proposals circulating on the internet, so we are going to leave you with the ones that we found most striking.
