The console covers will match the colors of the company’s wireless controllers. Sony already offers wireless controllers in Midnight Black and Cosmic Red.
“These new console covers are beautiful and easy to use — simply remove your original white PS5 console covers and click your new ones into place,” the company said in a blog post.

Why It Matters: The PS5 console covers will be available for both PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc, as well as the digital edition. The covers are sold separately from the console and the DualSense controller.
The covers will be available beginning June 22, with direct access for customers through the PlayStation website in the United States, the United Kingdom, and certain other countries will commence from June 17, said Sony.
Gaming rival Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) offers customization for its Xbox game controllers through its Design Lab website for $69.99. Customers can also order engraving.
Price Action: On Tuesday, Sony Group shares closed 1.6% higher at $87.71 in the regular session, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
