Sony has released a PlayStation 5 teardown video showing all the details inside their massive next-gen console.
In the video below, Yasuhiro Ootori, Vice President of Mechanical Design for Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Hardware Design Division, discusses a “dramatic” improvement in both performance and silence compared to the PlayStation 4. The latter is a point. important to me since my OG PS4 sounds like an airport runway even when I’m playing Netflix.

First, Ootori shows the complicated process of changing the PS5 from portrait to landscape. You need to unscrew the base, keep the screw in the base itself, and then use a cap to plug the screw hole. Then rotate the stand and place it on the PS5 in line with the front PlayStation buttons engraved on the console. You can then place the PS5 in a horizontal position. The stand is necessary to do this because the PS5 itself is not flat.
The two rows at the front of the console are air vents, Ootori says, and the entire rear is your exhaust port.
Users themselves can remove the white panels on both sides simply by lifting the rear corner and sliding it. Maybe we can buy new ones in different colors and designs.
Underneath is the oversized cooling fan, which draws in air from both sides. There are two dust collecting holes that are used to suck up the dust. The double-sided air intake fan is 120mm in diameter and 45mm in thickness.
The Blu-ray disc drive is completely covered by a sheet metal casing and mounted with two layers of insulators to reduce noise and vibration from the drive when discs spin.
Under the shield, we get a good look at the CPU, GPU, memory, and 825GB SSD. And this is great – we see the liquid metal used for long-term cooling.
Next up, the PS5’s heatsink, which seems to take up about 40 percent of the space inside the console.
And finally, the power supply.
Sony has been very cautious with the PS5 so far, to the point where we still have a lot of unanswered questions about the console just over a month before launch. But it’s great to see the company release a teardown video so we can see exactly what we’re getting for our £ 450.
Now, did anyone see the mysterious nut on the PS5?
