PlayStation 5 console covers, the cosmetic accessories designed to add a splash of colour to your PS5, may soon make their way to India. As per a known tipster, Sony has imported “very small quantities” of the PS5 faceplates to India. The tip was later confirmed by gaming writer and industry insider Rishi Alwani who said that the PS5 covers will be exclusively available via Amazon, hinting at the price. PlayStation 5 was launched globally in November 2020, but there has been an acute shortage of consoles owing to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the global chip shortage. Since its release, the PS5 has only been available in blink-and-miss restocks in India via e-commerce outlets as well as traditional stores.

The official Sony variants were so far unavailable in India and customers had to make do with third-party covers. Now, as per tipster @PS5India, Sony has imported limited quantities of the Console Covers to India. This tipster has so far been very accurate in all its PS5 leaks thus far, so it can be expected that the official PS5 Console Covers should be available in India soon.
