In addition, Dbrand introduces customization options like skins and translucent color filters for the console's light bars, appealing to gamers looking for personalization. These faceplates are available for both the disc and digital editions of the PS5 Slim and will help Dbrand maintain its top spot in the PS5 faceplate market.
