    Had a friends PS5 that was overheating. After opening it up and cleaning it all out, recommended to get dark plates that have clear ventilation! And it looks amazing!

    Looks great; it's even better than I thought. Whipped out my camera and took a macro shot that looks cool I think.

Streamlined Design

Since the PS5 launched in 2020, one question in particular has plagued the mind of both scholars and consumers: "why does it look like that?" We don't know the answer to their question, but we do know that our custom-built side panel replacements can help it look a little bit less like an alien artifact.

Improved Thermals

Darkplates 2.0 feature built-in vents, complete with mesh filters, positioned directly above the PlayStation 5's internal cooling fans. The result? Uninhibited airflow for enhanced thermal performance. Your PS5 won't just look cooler - it'll run cooler, too.

Skin Customization

Look at the glossy mid-section of your PS5 and tell us what you see. Actually, don't - we already know the answer. You see an ungodly sum of scratches and fingerprints. We, on the other hand, see a canvas for one of our premium skin designs. You're one middle skin away from covering up Sony's mistakes, preventing further damage, and customizing your PS5.
