- Sony has announced that the future PS5 Pro will not be compatible with PS5 Slim console plates.

Sony has announced that the PS5 Slim console plates, which are presently on the market, will not be compatible with the upcoming PS5 Pro.
The design of the PS5 Pro differs from that of the PS5 Slim just enough that the existing console covers will not fit the new model, according to a statement given to IGN.
Sony responded to fan conjecture by stating that although the PS5 Slim and standard PS5 plates were made for particular model sizes, there would be future choices for players who want to customize the PS5 Pro.
“PS5 console covers are not compatible with PS5 Pro,” a business representative said. However, when new PS5 Pro console covers are released in the future, gamers will be able to switch them out.
The news comes after a Reddit post from yesterday in which a PS5 Pro early adopter who was able to get their hands on the system before its official release tried using PS5 Slim plates with varying degrees of success.
The announcement also affects Sony’s Chroma Collection, a line of vibrant plates that were made available to PS5 and PS5 Slim owners earlier this year but are also incompatible with the Pro. In order to provide comparable customization choices in the future, Sony is anticipated to launch a new line of console covers designed especially for the PS5 Pro’s form factor.
Until the new plates are ready, PlayStation fans who are anxious to customize the PS5 Pro will have to wait. With enhanced graphics processing and other hardware improvements, the Pro model itself will go on sale on November 7 with the goal of providing a high-performance mid-generation upgrade to Sony’s flagship gaming console lineup.
