PlayStation Direct customers in the US, UK, France, and Germany will be able to get their hands on these new products via early access.

The black and red PS5 console covers will be available for PlayStation Direct customers from January 21, whereas it will be available to retailers only from February 18.

The DBrand Saga

Sony’s announcement comes a few weeks after it filed a patent for its PS5 faceplates. The company had earlier threatened legal action against multiple third-party companies that sold black faceplates. Sony also threatened to sue DBrand, which forced it to yank its faceplates from the market. However, just days later, it replaced them with a new design and even came up with a marketing campaign that ridiculed Sony’s lawyers.

Now only if there were a way to get your hands on a PS5.
