Best Gaming Displates

Look at you with all those classy-looking glass cases for your small statues, gamer merch, and Funko Pops. Finally, it is starting to look like you really have yourself together, and your home is a bit like a pop culture museum, which you love.

Now it’s time to find the best gaming displates out there. A little wall art brings out your personality, makes a home homier, and looks terrific. 

The places I’ve called home haven’t felt like MY home until I did some decorating. I love finding eye-catching, beautiful gaming posters to hang throughout my home tastefully. I especially love decorating the walls of my hallway. 

That being said, I love displates. They take the irritating job of finding the right frame out of the picture, and they last much longer than paper posters or canvas.

However, if you want your displate framed, you are given several sleek options at no extra charge. Displates are also easy to store since they are flat and metal which will not crease, tear or wrinkle if you store them incorrectly like they would if they were a regular paper poster.

In this article, we will delve into the world of displates and find the best gaming displates out there that you can purchase and make your home look like it belongs to you.

I also highly recommend checking out the Displate website. It has all types of metal posters, not just gaming ones. They would make for an excellent and original gift for your friends or family when holidays and birthdays roll around.

Bottom Line Up Front

The very best gaming displate is this one from Hollow Knight

It is breathtakingly beautiful. The scene is one where you can feel that the Hollow Knight is far away in his thoughts while his friend chatters on about something mindless. All of the Hollow Knight displates are mesmerizing, but I like this one the best.

Best Gaming Displates for Your Home

Call of Duty – Jugger-Nog Displate

Call of Duty - Jugger-Nog Displate

Good ol’ Jugger-Nog is an essential part of a balanced breakfast, lunch, and dinner when running from bad guys, doing a bit of killing, and simply trying to stay alive. Drink Jugger-Nog to boost your health while playing the esteemed Call of Duty Zombies mode.

I’m sure you’re familiar with just barely being alive and stumbling upon one of these drink machines. Also, this classic-looking soda poster would look great in anyone’s home or bar.

If that suits you, check out the other gaming beverage displates on the website because there are tons of gamer beverage signs that would look really cool in your bar or kitchen. Only the elite will even know it’s a gaming displate, not just a cool antique poster hinting at otherworldly currency.

You can choose between four different frame styles, but it looks best without any frame. Then you can see the rusted edges of the machine sign creeping in. Make sure to check out the Speed Cola displate and the other Call of Duty displates.

  • Sizes: 17.7 x 12.6 / 26.6 x 18.9 inches
  • Print: Matte or Glossy
  • Frame: Natural Wood Pattern, White Wood Pattern, Graphite, and Black Wood Pattern

Pros

  • I really like how the orange and brownish coloring gives the displate an antique look but also matches the soda machine in the game.

Cons

  • This might look a bit off if you have anything other than an earthy-colored room.

Elden Ring Map Displate

Elden Ring Map Displate

This is another displate that could fool many people into thinking it is some type of displate of an antique map. In fact, it is a complete version of the Elden Ring Map and shows everything; Limgrave, Liurnia of the Lakes, Caelid, Altus Plateau, Leyndell Royal Capitol, Mt. Gelmir, Mountaintops of the Giants, and much more.

While you are playing the game, you often need to reference the map- you could get away with using this displate as your gaming map and make notes on it with a dry-erase marker.

Also, it would look pretty nice in the same earthy room with the Jugger-Nog displate. This displate is pretty awesome in that it is one of those items that, if you know, you know. Sometimes the quietest spoken art is the most magnificent. Be sure to check out the other Elden Ring displates.

  • Sizes: 17.7 x 12.6 / 26.6 x 18.9 inches
  • Print: Matte or Glossy
  • Frame: Natural Wood Pattern, White Wood Pattern, Graphite, and Black Wood Pattern

Pros

  • I love how the map has that used, slightly wavy look from being rolled up, even though it wasn’t.
  • The coloring also suggests that the map is ancient and has been through a lot in its long life, though a few holes and fraying at the edges would drive this point home.

Cons

  • This displate has the same issue as the other earth-toned displate. It will look amazing in a room with brown furniture or an overall earthy shade but might look a bit off in a pastel or light-colored room. If you aren’t worried about that or the judgy looks from your aunt, go for it and leave your concerns in the dust.

Hollow Knight Displate

Hollow Knight Displate

This is one of those phenomenal games with amazing graphics of cute enchanted beings. In this game, Hollow Knight, those cute little plague doctor look-a-likes are actually knights. This poster is beautifully done, and I want it on my wall right now.

The coloring is mesmerizing and mystical. The Knight and bubbles bring forth a child-like joy to the poster. Maybe he’s contemplating whether or not the water has been poisoned with acid. The displate is spooky but in an adorable way.

You cannot tell me the signs/displates for this game are anything other than pure magic and fantasy. This game reminds me of Zero from Nightmare before Christmas meets the tree spirits in Princess Mononoke meets a plague doctor in cartoon form. Make sure to check out the other equally amazing Hollow Knight displates.

  • Sizes: 17.7 x 12.6 / 26.6 x 18.9 / 35.4 x 25.2 inches
  • Print: Matte or Glossy
  • Frame: Natural Wood Pattern, White Wood Pattern, Graphite, and Black Wood Pattern

Pros

  • I love the coloring in this displate. It’s a calming sea of blues, light purples, and pale pinks. 
  • This 2-D game is brought to life in this mesmerizing displate featuring the Knight thoughtfully staring out over the tranquil water while Quirrel talks about something with vigor.

Cons

  • The only con I can think of is that I do not own it yet. Although, it might not go that well next to your contemporary paintings of boring stuff, so just throw those away- just kidding. 
  • It has a playful tone to it and might not be appropriate for non-gaming rooms if that isn’t something front and center about your personality.

Dark Souls – The Painted World

Dark Souls - The Painted World

This is a breathtaking displate featuring the Painted World of Ariamis, formerly known as the Great Painting of Ariamis, which is the closest you will get to entering the mystical world unless you happen to have a Peculiar Doll in your collection.

The road leading up to the tree cathedral is intense yet beautifully colored. The detail given to the town the dragon is lying in is well done, and the tree itself reminds me of the Yggdrasil or Tree of Life from Norse legends. As a massive fan of magical-looking trees, Norse legends, and Norwegian mythology, I absolutely love this displate.

It might not be something you put in your living room unless you are 100% okay with being a nerd out loud, but it is a must-have displate for the gaming room. Do what makes YOU happiest since this is your home we’re talking about, after all. Be sure to check out the other Dark Souls displates.

  • Sizes: 17.7 x 12.6 / 26.6 x 18.9 / 35.4 x 25.2 inches
  • Print: Matte or Glossy
  • Frame: Natural Wood Pattern, White Wood Pattern, Graphite, and Black Wood Pattern

Pros

  • The coloring and overall presence of this displate flow beautifully with the artistry. You wouldn’t need to worry about the shade not matching your room’s decor and throwing it off balance too much because it could go in just about any color-themed room.
  • The fine details and beautiful design will make you want to hang this somewhere you can stare at it frequently while discovering parts of the displate you’d never noticed before. This might be good in a bathroom or bedroom.

Cons

  • I wish the detail on the tree was clearer and some of the path removed to make way for the tree to appear closer. It would be even more incredible if it had subtle detail you would only notice after staring at the displate for some time. 

The Witcher – Roach on the Roof Displate

The Witcher - Roach on the Roof Displate

This is one of the most talked about memorable glitched gaming moments. There was a part of The Witcher 3 game where Roach would get stuck on the roof with no foreseeable way to get her down. This baffled and confused many a gamer.

Why was Roach on the roof? The hilarity of the Witcher calling his mare and having her instead end up on the roof is one of my favorites. Luckily, all you had to do is move the Witcher elsewhere, call Roach, and she would make it down and over to him.

In the meantime, it became a beloved meme and joke across the gaming universe. Make sure to check out the other Witcher displates.

  • Sizes: 17.7 x 12.6 / 26.6 x 18.9 inches
  • Print: Matte or Glossy
  • Frame: Natural Wood Pattern, White Wood Pattern, Graphite, and Black Wood Pattern

Pros

  • Every time your eyes land on this displate, it will bring along some amusement. When there’s a horse on the roof, you must run with the joke. 
  • I like how realistic this displate looks, but it also has the feel of a painting with its slightly blended colors. It also doesn’t look too far from what you saw in the game regarding quality and coloring.
  • I like how Roach tilts her head as if to ask, “why are you looking at me like that?”

Cons

  • This is an oddball displate that many will need help understanding. It can, however, make for an interesting conversation with your house guests. 

Fallout – The Road Displate

Fallout - The Road Displate

There’s something beautiful about a post-apocalyptic world and having a dog as your only companion. Mad Max did it, and here we have the same in Fallout with the german shepherd named Dogmeat, who is the player’s companion if they choose.

We see a man walking down a road with long tufts of grass growing down the center, as you would expect with a deserted road. Dog and man walk side by side, each on opposing sides of the yellow line, which adds a bit of symmetry to the displate.

The cracked road, downed power lines, and emptiness make for a solemn but beautiful work of art. Check out the other Fallout displates.

  • Sizes: 17.7 x 12.6 / 26.6 x 18.9 / 35.4 x 25.2 inches
  • Print: Matte or Glossy
  • Frame: Natural Wood Pattern, White Wood Pattern, Graphite, and Black Wood Pattern

Pros

  • This is an exquisitely done displate showing much detail of the post-apocalyptic world. There’s something that tugs at your heart just a bit to see a man and his dog walking through what’s left. The faded coloring just sends home the vibe.
  • Everyone who has ever seen a movie, show, or game with a dog in it generally likes it because of the dog. Get this and make your dog feel like a hero.

Cons

  • This is not a stress-free displate since our issues with China make this all the more real. 

Ori – Will of the Wisps Displate

Ori - Will of the Wisps Displate

I love this game; the enchanting visuals are legendary- just ask the hoards of fans who were pumped to see a sequel to Ori and the Blind Forest. There’s even a book of Ori – Will of the Wisps art that you can purchase. This specific displate is modeled after the cover of the game.

This displate shows the innocence and beauty of Will of the Wisps. The magical tree, the Spirit Willow, stands shaded by night while Ori stands on a branch with his back to his owl friend, Ku, waiting for what may come next as the little white spirit defends his friend. Be sure to check out the other Ori displates because they are gorgeous. 

  • Sizes: 17.7 x 12.6 / 26.6 x 18.9 / 35.4 x 25.2 inches
  • Print: Matte or Glossy
  • Frame: Natural Wood Pattern, White Wood Pattern, Graphite, and Black Wood Pattern

Pros

  • The lighting and colors in this displate set a tone for the image as Ori waits for danger to present itself.
  • The Spirit Willow is magnificent, just as it is in the game, and evokes the same vibe. It would look great in almost any color room and belongs among other fantasy gaming displates. 

Cons

  • The Spirit Willow needs a little more detail and definition with a small amount of darker shading to make its beauty pop.

Stray Displate

Stray Displate

This displate is a scene straight out of the game, Stray. In this, we see the underground, dystopian land of Walled City 99, where the humans killed by a plague had first sanctioned this city away from the earth’s surface. Midtown is filled with abandoned buildings, Companions, and danger awaiting our feline protagonist.

The displate is from the cat’s perspective, about a foot off the ground. It is very realistic looking, and I’m predisposed to love this because I love cats and this one has a backpack. Check out the other Stray displates. There are some really fantastic ones in there.

  • Sizes: 17.7 x 12.6 / 26.6 x 18.9 / 35.4 x 25.2 inches
  • Print: Matte or Glossy
  • Frame: Natural Wood Pattern, White Wood Pattern, Graphite, and Black Wood Pattern

Pros

  • The futuristic city in this quirky game is really detailed, which shows up in this displate, along with the beer bottle and cute feline with a backpack. This is one of the more original games, and that certainly holds true about the displate, too. It might even be worth some money down the road of time. 
  • You can feel the little ginger cat’s hesitation before it meets the challenges in the fast-moving city. 

Cons

  • It would be cooler if one or more of the other gamer cats were peeking out from the shadows, watching our pal prepare for what awaits them. 
  • It would also be cool if the gamer cat’s face were reflected in a puddle near them, but that’s a suggestion, not a con. 

Final Fantasy – Vivi Displate

Final Fantasy - Vivi Displate

How could Vivi from Final Fantasy not make a displate amazing? Final Fantasy is one of the greatest and most popular games ever created and has stood the test of time, with many modern games still digging this one out of the archives today. It has been around for many years and appeals to a wide range of ages and generations.

Vivi is a sweet little mage capable of intense magic when he puts his mind to it and throws away his anxieties. I love Vivi and his charming little outfit. His story is so moving, and though he had great magic, he was always a good friend.

If anything, this displate should make you set your anxieties aside, face the day’s challenges bravely, and know you will come through it wiser than you were a day before. “Lead your short life in a meaningful way and always to its full potential,” is what Vivi would tell you is the most important thing to remember in this journey.

In this displate, we see an unsure Vivi looking into a puddle where his reflection shows a stronger, more confident Vivi creating a fire spell. Check out the other Final Fantasy displates. There is a ton of Final Fantasy displates; you just have to search for each game specifically. 

  • Sizes: 17.7 x 12.6 / 26.6 x 18.9 / 35.4 x 25.2 inches
  • Print: Matte or Glossy
  • Frame: Natural Wood Pattern, White Wood Pattern, Graphite, and Black Wood Pattern

Pros

  • Vivi is a real hero despite being a prototype blurred with confusion and lack of confidence.
  • I love the realistic swirls and ripples in the puddle and thin lines of smoke coming off the ground and Vivi.

Cons

  • This is one of those hard-to-frame pieces because the wood grain-looking frames would all look silly with this displate.

Okami Displate

Okami Displate

Even if you didn’t know what Okami was or who the white wolf was on the displate, you would likely see this and think it was a beautiful Japanese picture with a magical take on famous Japanese artwork mixed with mythology.

The game is lovely on its own, and the white wolf is no ordinary wolf but a sun goddess named Amaterasu. This has been a visually gorgeous game from the beginning, and I love how it is reflected in this original artwork.

The coloring and imagery are stunning, yet subtle, without any loud details. It would look amazing on any wall in your home and radiate peaceful vibes. Check out the other Okami displates and be prepared to see some seriously beautiful art. 

  • Sizes: 17.7 x 12.6 / 26.6 x 18.9 / 35.4 x 25.2 inches
  • Print: Matte or Glossy
  • Frame: Natural Wood Pattern, White Wood Pattern, Graphite, and Black Wood Pattern

Pros

  • The colors and lines illustrated are mesmerizing in the way they flow and create an illusion of tranquility. You can almost smell the blossoms from the tree just by looking at them long enough.
  • These haven’t been super popular games, though it has yet to take away from its lovely story or imagery.  

Cons

  • I would put this displate in a quiet and peaceful room because it isn’t going to look right stationed next to a Doom poster.

FAQs

Question: Are Displates any good?

Answer: Absolutely. They are the same as a poster, only a bit shinier. The quality is every bit as good as what you pick out online and they last a lot longer than a poster. Not needing a frame is pretty great, too, especially in spaces.

Question: Are custom displates a thing?

Answer: Yes, the options are relatively limitless, but no fan art, please. Licensing agreements can be tricky, and you want to avoid being sued over a displate. So instead, you can place an order for your own designed displate. Go on the website on your desktop, choose which size best works for you, and then go into the Displate art database and choose what you want or upload your artwork. Pretty sweet!

Question: Is hanging a Displate damaging to your walls?

Answer: Actually, it’s not as damaging as with posters and framed art. Displates have a protective sleeve that is between the displate and the wall and protects the wall from scuffing. Also, the displate uses magnets to hang, which will not damage your walls.

Time to Get Decorating- Gamer Style

This article could be much longer because there is no lack of dynamite gaming displates. Any game you can think of has a set of immeasurably incredible displates. Each displate I’ve listed belongs to a specific game, and that game has many other displates that, from what I’ve seen, are spectacular. 

If you think a game has breathtaking imagery and you’d love to be able to look at it all the time, check it out on the displate website. You will be satisfied but get your bank account ready; these can get expensive, especially once you see how many gaming displates are out of this world in quality and design on the Displate Metal Poster Website.

My absolute favorite set of displates I’ve found on that website are from the game Hollow Knight. The specific displate that came through as my favorite in this article is one with the Hollow Knight looking out over the water while Quirrel chats away.

The feeling this displates gives me is very realistically felt- almost like I was looking out over the water in contemplation while my friend tells stories and doesn’t even notice my serious stance. Any art that moves you in this way is worthwhile.

I highly recommend you check out the website because it is filled with displates for just about anything you’re a fan of, whether it be gaming, animals, movies, superheroes, space, vehicles, or fun, quirky stuff you won’t find anywhere else.

I hope I’ve sold you on my top picks and ultimate favorite gaming displate. I’m off to continue scrolling through this site’s billion incredible images and spend some hard-earned cash.
