Months after its debut, the PS5’s design remains very divisive, and although Sony has already closed down one manufacturer of accessories that has tried to make aftermarket panels for the PS5, Dbrand is now daring Sony to sue its new matte black PS5 faceplates.
Darkbrates, Dbrand’s new PS5 add-on, is not only a sticker to cover the PS5’s white exterior, but also a full matte black plastic replacement panel attached to the PS5 with the same grooves that Sony uses to make the to ensure standard white. silk covers.
While some people worry about tinkering with their expensive new console, Dbrand jokingly claims that ’99, 98% of people can install Darkplates successfully ‘, indicating that even people are usually afraid to customize it their game console should have no problem swapping the PS5’s stock side panels for Dbrand’s Darkplates.
But where things get extra spicy, all the extra language Dbrand has spread across the country is Darkplates website to virtually beg Sony to sue for infringement of Sony’s patent and intellectual property (or at least issue a strike and strike) – a fate encountered by co-accessory manufacturer Adjust my plates last year.

Right under the Darkplates headline, Dbrand even added a line with the caption “Continue, sue us”, while the microtexture Dbrand feature on its side panels serves as another knock at Sony, with Dbrand running Sony’s circle, replace triangle, square and x icons. with a familiar yet legally-distinct apocalyptic twist on the classic PlayStation button shapes. ‘
Dbrand’s Darkplates are available for the standard PS5 (with an option for the PS5 Digital Edition “coming soon”), and this seems to be exactly what many gamers have been asking for since Sony introduced the PS5’s controversial two-tone black and white facade. However, it will not be cheap, as the two matte black side panels plus an adhesive sheet (available in six different patterns) currently cost $ 61 (apparently discounted from $ 79). It’s basically the same price as a game, which might force people can choose to buy a new title for their PS5 or to upgrade its look.
But I have to admit, the PS5 looks pretty smooth in black, and it seems like I’m not the only one thinking so, as Dbrand’s Darkplates first three waves of orders have already sold out, with the next available wave expected to be send somewhere in May.
For anyone who really can’t stand the PS5’s stock design, you may want to act fast. Ddespite Dbrand’s confidence, it’s hard to say how long Darkplates will be available before Sony’s legal team decides to get involved.
