Mind-Blowing PS5 Console: A Stunning Masterpiece Crafted from Granite Stone

A creative gamer has transformed their ordinary white PlayStation 5 into a captivating granite stone texture that evokes nostalgia for the PS1 era. Despite the modification, the PS5 remains fully functional, as if it were newly bought from the store.

Although it is not commonly acknowledged, the side plates of the PS5 can be easily detached and substituted with official customized plates from Sony or other third-party brands. While most players opt to retain the original plates that come with the system, some choose to replace them with their own personalized designs. These customizations range from simple paint jobs to more intricate finishes, such as a mesmerizing granite stone appearance.

Reddit user realLudoKresshh has shared an impressive slideshow featuring his granite stone console, leaving fans longing for an official release for their own PS5. The granite finish exudes a textured feel reminiscent of nostalgic elements like old television static or designs from the 90s. Taking inspiration from iconic wall textures in PlayStation 1 games such as Metal Gear Solid and Syphon Filter, realLudoKresshh beautifully captures the essence of that era.

In the slideshow, realLudoKresshh generously shares his customization process. Using gray primer as a base, each plate was carefully coated before being spray-painted with Rust-Oleum's Stone Textured Finish. To add a touch of elegance and protect the finish, a clear matte spray was applied to both plates, provoking an enticing shine on the PS5. Completing the transformation into a nostalgic masterpiece, the PS5 logo was painted using the classic colors seen in the Playstation 1 logo – red, blue, and yellow.

The reception towards the granite PS5 has been overwhelmingly positive, with many individuals expressing a desire to purchase similar customized faceplates. Even those who may not personally be fans of the design still acknowledge its impressive nature. Additionally, the attention garnered by the logo highlights just how iconic the PS1 logo is among PlayStation enthusiasts.

Naturally, concerns arise regarding the granite stone PS5's ability to handle overheating. Given the recent reports of PS5s overheating during boss fights in Final Fantasy 16, it's only natural to question if the thick finish utilized in this customization would hinder the console's essential airflow. However, according to realLudoKresshh, the PS5 operates smoothly even during gameplay of Final Fantasy 16. Only time will reveal if any issues arise in the future.
