Collection: Sony PlayStation 5 Slim

Yes. Every PlayStation 5 Slim in this collection is a genuine Sony console. We source brand-new PS5 Slim units, customise the exterior shell with our own finishes, and then ship them as complete, ready-to-use systems. The internal hardware, performance, and software features remain original.

No. You do not send us your existing console. All Custom PlayStation 5 Slim units sold by Craft by Merlin are brand-new consoles that we have already customised in-house. This ensures a consistent finish, proper masking of vents and ports, and a smooth, hassle-free buying experience.

Our work is focused only on the outer casing and plates. We carefully mask vents and functional areas so airflow is not obstructed, meaning your PlayStation 5 Slim continues to cool and perform as designed. Since we change the exterior look, cosmetic aspects are covered under Craft by Merlin’s own quality standards and support. Hardware-level warranty remains subject to Sony’s policies on modified consoles.

A typical Custom PlayStation 5 Slim package includes the console, an official DualSense controller, power cable, HDMI cable, and basic documentation, similar to a standard retail PS5 Slim (exact contents are listed on each product page). The key difference is the hand-crafted exterior finish on the console and, in some editions, the controller. Games and extra accessories are sold separately unless explicitly mentioned.

Yes. If you want a fully coordinated setup, you can explore our PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro custom collections, as well as matching designs for the DualSense Edge Wireless Controller. For multi-platform gamers, we also offer customised Xbox consoles and Nintendo Switch 2 / Switch OLED editions. This allows you to build a visually consistent, luxury gaming ecosystem where every console and controller shares the same design DNA from Craft by Merlin.
