How to Replace PS5 Faceplates
Can Installing PS5 Faceplates Void the Warranty?
Sony has stated that installing new PS5 faceplates, or replacing damaged ones, will not void the warranty. The only condition is that the serial number and the seal must remain intact, especially if aPS5 gets a PS2-themed makeover. Initially, there was a lot of concern regarding Sony’s stance regarding installing PS5 faceplates, but with Sony releasing official faceplates for the PS5, those concerns are no longer valid. It is worth noting, though, if a console is sent for repairs to Sony, there is no guarantee that the console will be returned with the customized faceplates, which could be a cause for concern.
