According to the PlayStation Blog, the covers will be available in the first half of 2022, with Midnight Black and Cosmic Red being the first to be released in January of that year. Colors such as Nova Pink, Galactic Purple, and Starlight Blue will become available in the coming months. The PS5 Digital Edition and the PS5 with disc drive will both be available in two different color variations, with one version designed specifically for the PS5 Digital Edition and the other for the PS5 with disc drive.
Pre-orders for the console covers are now being accepted directly from Sony, with prices starting at $54.99.
Additionally, the DualSense controllers in the colors Nova Pink, Starlight Blue, and Galactic Purple will be available in January 2022. These controllers will be available in addition to the previously launched Cosmic Red and Midnight Black controllers.
In the following countries and regions: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France; Germany; Switzerland; Austria; Spain; Portugal; Italy; Australia; New Zealand; Japan; China; Taiwan; Hong Kong; Singapore; Malaysia; Thailand; Indonesia; Vietnam; Korea; and the Philippines. Sony has stated that other areas will be added throughout the year, with specific release dates varying depending on the location.
These official PlayStation 5 faceplates are the result of a recent legal battle between Sony and Dbrand, a firm that manufactures its own third-party PS5 faceplates. Sony also just filed a patent for the PS5 faceplates, which could have been the first indication that these new color possibilities were on the way.
