PlayStation 5 customized skins/faceplates will now need patent rights and fans have mixed feelings about it. This means from now onwards Sony’s competitors won’t be able to sell customized PlayStation 5 faceplates without purchasing the patent rights.

As confirmed by Sony, now the faceplates of PlayStation 5 also fall under copyright property. And Sony can take action against anyone who customizes these faceplates for resale. This is not good news for a lot of 3rd-party companies whose vocation is customizing these faceplates.

This move from Sony makes some people wonder: is it possible that Sony might soon announce its own customizable skins?

It’s a very bold move from Sony and this patent has opened up many opportunities for them if they plan to enter this market. The market involving entities producing customized goods has immense potential and is likely to grow more with time.

Gamers want to show their love and affection for a particular video game by having customized skins on the consoles. And it’s good news for the PlayStation 5 owners as they will have a variety of customizations available to choose from with Sony.
