The Best PS5 Faceplates

Bored with the PS5's minimalist white design? Try out these PS5 faceplates.

So you have a PlayStation 5 and you're having the time of your life exploring all the exciting worlds that it offers. But, you're not loving that plain white look. Maybe it doesn't fit in with all your other devices and furnishings? Maybe you don't like those sharp edges? Or maybe you just want something that's a bit more colorful?

If any of these gripes sound familiar, then you may want to check out some of the alternative faceplates that are available for PS5. There's a whole host of different colors and designs to consider; many of which offer built-in air-ventilation holes, or have shockproof designs that give your beloved console a bit of extra protection.

Here are the best PS5 faceplates.

The NexiGo PS5 Accessories Cover Set contains both a protective shell cover for the PlayStation 5 (disc edition) and a faceplate for the DualSense controller. The faceplate itself is anti-scratch and dustproof, and both are precision cut to fit the PlayStation 5 console.

Made from high-quality ABS material this faceplate is lightweight but tough, and there's a nice shine to the finish. Installation is easy and is a simple matter of aligning the hooks on the underside of each faceplate piece, and then gently snapping it into place.

It's similarly easy to apply the controller cover, which again has been precision cut to fit the DualSense, with cutouts for all buttons, speakers, and USB ports. This is a great faceplate cover for your PS5 and is perfect for making a change from the standard white look. And the protection and durability it offers only add to its appeal.

If you fancy giving your PS5 a bit of a makeover but want to make sure that it's being given adequate ventilation, then this Foamy Lizard Stealthplate Vented Faceplate could be just the ticket. This Black Viper edition is custom-made to fit the PS5 disc version and has integrated and accented ventilation holes to allow your gaming goliath to let off some steam.

The sleek black design has a matte finish, and the semi-gloss pattern accents really pop when the light hits them. Notably, this faceplate has been cut with curved edges, unlike the ones that come pre-affixed to your console. Therefore, not only do you get a new color and pattern for your PS5, but you also get a brand-new shape for it as well.

It's fully compatible with all official Sony and third-party stands and mounts and can be easily attached or removed, thanks to its latching design. Making your PS5 console cooler in both senses of the word, you’d have to be cold-blooded yourself not to love this Foamy Lizard.

If you want the option of a fresh new look for your PS5 but don't want it to be too much of a departure from the original design, then look no further than this Benazcap Hard Shockproof PS5 Faceplate Cover. It mirrors the looks of the original PS5 (minus the PlayStation branding, obviously), but renders that look in cool black instead.

It's made from lightweight ABS plastic and is child's play to snap into place. It works perfectly alongside the PS5's original stand, having been precision cut to match the measurements of the original hard shell. It has an anti-fingerprint coating to help keep it looking nicer for longer, and barring being dropped from a very great height, it's fairly durable as well.

There's no extra ventilation to be had here, beyond that which you would expect from the original faceplate. So if this is something you’re looking for gains in, this is probably not the one for you. But if you’re someone who has wished the PlayStation 5 was available in black (as per the last three generations of PlayStation), then we have a winner here.

Perhaps you’re looking to outfit your PS5 in something that looks a bit more ‘combat ready’, to get you fired up to take on your adversaries? If so, this DOBEWINGDELOU PS5 Camo Green Side Plate is mission ready and waiting for that call to action.

It's made from impact-resistant ABS plastic which is shockproof as well as scratch-resistant. It has a frosted surface that offers some resistance against fingerprints, and stains can be wiped away fuss-free, too. The faceplate comes with built-in ventilation holes to provide a boost to air circulation and keep your console running cooler.

Precision cut to match the dimensions of the original PS5 faceplate, it will work with the original console stand and can accommodate itself in upright or horizontal positions. This cool camo design looks brilliant, and this durable faceplate will keep you covered for many more combat drops to come.

Whether you’re the fairest one of all or not, there's no denying how pretty this mirror glaze PS5 faceplate looks. This mirror effect SIKEMAY PS5 cover has a completely unique look and makes the perfect choice for gamers looking for a futuristic faceplate alternative to the clinical white original.

This reflective faceplate is custom-made for the PS5 disc edition only and is made from waterproof ABS plastic and is dustproof as well. It has cooling air vents on both faceplate pieces to aid circulation and keep things cool. It grants easy access to all ports and buttons and fits nicely around the PS5's vertical stand.

The curved design of this faceplate mirrors that of the original console (pun intended), and the smoothed edges this provides make this shell cover look very appealing indeed. It's on the pricey side, but there's a good deal of protection here, with shockproofing and scratch resistance added into the mix. Plus, you’ll be the envy of all your buddies with this one, which is worth reflecting on.

With a special heat-dissipation design, the innoAura Faceplates with Cooling Vents could be a handy solution to cool an overheating console and prevent unhealthy dust build-up on those fans. Made for the PS5 disc edition, this faceplate sports a curved design that matches the contours of the console itself.

As with the bulk of PS5-compatible faceplate covers, it is made from impact-resistant hard ABS material. It has been engineered to resist dust build-up and is lightweight and durable. The plates are easy to align and attach, and a simple reassuring ‘click’ will let you know you’ve done so correctly.

Besides its cool aesthetic, the real pull of this faceplate cover is those heat-dissipating vents on either side. They allow for a more constant temperature to be maintained, and with the airflow being more successfully managed, you can of course enjoy game time for longer. And in preserving your PS5 for longer, it pays for itself in terms of providing for your future enjoyment.

Hot Rod red worked out pretty well for Tony Stark, and now it can work out just as well for your PS5 too. This SIKEMAY PS5 faceplate cover makes the perfect add-on for gamers looking for a sweet custom color for their PlayStation.

Sadly not made from nanotechnology, it is instead made from hard shockproof ABS plastic, that provides a solid impact-resistant shell for your PS5. It is scratch-resistant and offers some protection against dust and water. It has a pre-cut circular ventilation window on each side of the faceplate, to help harmlessly dissipate heat.

It's very simple to attach to your console and you’ll find it's been cut to match the original size and shape of the PS5's vanilla faceplates. It provides easy access to all ports and is compatible with the PS5 mounting stand. So if you’re bored by the prospect of a simple black or white look for your PS5, you can ramp things up a notch with this super cool dark red design.

Sony has stated that installing new PS5 faceplates, or replacing damaged ones, will not void the warranty. The only condition is that the serial number and the seal must remain intact, especially if a PS5 gets a PS2-themed makeover.

To remove the PS5 cover plates, turn your console off and disconnect all cables. Lay the PS5 on a flat surface, hold the bottom left and top right corner of the plate with your fingers, and slightly pull up and slide to the right.

Flip the console around, again with the PS5 logo to your top right. Align the cover so that the PS5 cutout is just slightly to the left of the engraved logo on the console. Slide the cover from left to right, pressing near the logo as you do. One last click will let you know that your job is done.
