Aside from the technical features of PlayStation 5, we can talk for hours just about the design of the console. Although the futuristic design of the console is not very pleasant for those who are used to PlayStation designs to date, it was generally liked. Especially when compared to Xbox Series X, the new patent for PlayStation 5, which has a more alternative design, will break the breadbasket of some.
PlayStation 5 covers are now in Sony’s patent
Shortly after the PlayStation 5 was introduced, those who did not want to get used to the white color started to look for alternative solutions. Those who want to see the design they want on their consoles, not just obsessed with color, turned to covers produced by third-party manufacturers. However, Sony was dissatisfied with this and sued the companies that produce covers for the PS5. This situation, which caused the crisis, seems to end now, because Sony now owns the patents for these covers.
Sony received another patent for the cover of PlayStation 5 with its patent application. This means that those who produce special designs for this cover will no longer be able to do this for commercial purposes. If it is done, Sony’s patent will be violated, so the lawsuits will be concluded in Sony’s favor.
To date, many companies have pursued the goal of making profit by producing specially designed covers for the PS5. Although we know that Sony will release special versions for PS5 in the coming years, third-party manufacturers were a good way for those who did not want to wait. Although the end of third-party manufacturers has come with this decision, we hope that Sony will make its own production soon. Because there is a large customer base who want to customize the look of PlayStation 5.
The first step of customization was taken with DualSense
DualSense, the controller of PlayStation 5, has a color scheme that is compatible with the console itself. You may not be used to seeing white on the controller, as all PlayStations except PlayStation One come out in black. Fortunately, Sony acted fast with customizable covers and launched DualSenses in different color options.

Although we waited for months for this option to come, at least an option was offered. But you can’t choose these controllers when you buy the console. You can choose a color when buying the second or next DualSense. Currently, only black and red color options are available, but we expect new options to come in the coming months.
