Sony has revealed a set of unique and colorful-looking skins for Dualsense controllers widely used by PS5 players worldwide. Sony has been fighting a long battle with custom cover creators for their controllers. With Sony's decision, PS5 players can have assurances over the quality as some of the third-party designed items are not up to the required standards.

  • Galactic Purple

Sony claims that the different colors of the universe inspire the colors, and the community seems to have taken the new development in a positive sense.


Where can PS5 owners buy the custom plates from, and what will the cost be?

The initial listing price of each of the custom PS5 plates is $55. Games shouldn't mix up thinking that these are full systems. These are just plates that will be easily switchable. The collectors can even buy different custom colored plates to go with different moods.

PS5 owners will be able to buy these plates directly from the PlayStation store, and it is anticipated that these mono-colored covers will be in quite high demand.
