Black PS5 consoles appear online as players redesign their new machines

Do you want a black PS5? Well, you are not alone, judging by the collection of consoles that have been customized online.

Several PlayStation lovers accepted the official PS5 subreddit to show the customization tasks they performed on their consoles. In particular, one thread started by Reddit user Hawkijustin showed off its fancy specialty coating, made thanks to careful use of Plasti Dip, which gave them a black PS5. The thread received a lot of attention from the user’s other PS5 fans and received over 2,000 positive votes at the time of writing. Commenters praised the customization job and hoped that Sony will soon release official black panels and controllers for the console to make the black PS5 official.

Another user posted on the same subreddit to show off his brother-in-law’s black PS5, specially packaged for a different paint finish. This thread has also been successful and received over a thousand positive votes at the time of this writing. The video in this post showed the console from different angles and gave a comprehensive overview of the sleek customization job.

Gamers looking to buy their own black PS5 will likely have to get just as creative as these users and take a DIY approach to get the model they are looking for. Unless Sony decides to sell other colors anytime soon, this seems like the only option if you want your own black PS5, especially after the company issued a warning letter to a company that makes custom faceplates.
