'Leaked' PS5 faceplate images suggest console is quite large

New unverified images of the PS5 front panels have been shared online. While some internet circles, including the Resetera forum where the images were sourced, speculate that this means the console's front faces are customizable, we're not convinced this is the case based on this particular leak. Either way, the fronts in these photos suggest that the PS5 is a sizeable console. Although Sony has yet to release the official dimensions of the console, the plates in these images appear to be significantly larger than the size of an A4 piece of paper, based on one of the images below. The Wario 64 game news aggregator shared the images on social media:

Some photos of the PlayStation 5 console (Official PS5 photo added for comparison) https://t.co/hBwmwoNOQd pic.twitter.com/IIhxJljmS32 Jul 7, 2020 The source of the images is unknown - appears to be an anonymous leak , which means that its authenticity is a big question mark. If these photos are real, we're not necessarily sure that means the facades can be customized. After all, part of the PS4's top plastic casing can be easily unclipped, so you can replace the hard drive if you want. A faceplate may be easily removed for maintenance reasons. These images could also be part of a working, pre-built PS5 where the faceplates have not yet been applied. Sony hasn't revealed anything about the PS5's appearance or dimensions since the console was officially revealed last month.

What's next for Sony?

Rumor has it that another State of Play event focused on PS5 games is coming in August 2020, but Sony hasn't said anything about that yet. Apart from the dimensions of the console, we are still waiting on the price and release date of the PS5. This is an unusual console reveal cycle so far, with no E3 and jaw-dropping info from Sony and Microsoft on every console. However, after last week, when Microsoft revealed its first Xbox Series X lineup, we think we have a pretty good idea of ​​what software the two companies will have available at launch and beyond, barring any massive surprises. .
