While the PlayStation 5 officially only comes in standard white with a black middle bit, that hasn’t stopped people from modifying their new next generation consoles after the fact. While there have been many attempts to provide third-party faceplates with varying degrees of legality, the most common customizations appear to be simply modifying the white faceplates of the base model. Case in point, a Marvel fan went so far as to create a lovely custom model with Iron Man repulsor on the side.
More specifically, the Reddit user DGR8EST-1987 recently shared his work on the platform, posting pictures of the progress, from simply painting the thing to adding the repulsor itself. Generally speaking, it looks like the faceplates have been removed, painted red, and then a ready-to-use Iron Man repulsive night light has been added to the side with some additional details to make it look like it’s exploding on the side of the thing. .

For what it’s worth, modifying the PlayStation 5’s faceplates seems relatively simple, but be warned that tampering with this type of thing usually voids the warranty. In addition, there is always the possibility that you will break something irreversibly in the process. The PlayStation 5 itself is now available with the version containing a disk drive for $ 499, while the all-digital console costs $ 399 – if you can find one in stock.
