PS5 Teardown: An up-close and personal look at what’s inside the console

The PlayStation 5: It’s an absolute unit, it’ll be home to several exclusive games that I’d commit war crimes for and there’s still so much about it that we know nothing about. There’s a mystery on that next-gen console, one that Sony is finally and partially lifting the lid on in a new breakdown video. I’ll add more talking points below, but for now, take a closer look at the behemoth!

• 104mm wide, 390mm high and 260mm deep.
• The front has a USB-C port and a type-A port with hi-speed USB support.
• The USB-C port has Superspeed 10Gbps specs.
• The rear of the PS5 has two type-A ports, a LAN port, an HDMI port, and a power port.
• The two rows on the front side are air vents.
• The entire rear side is an exhaust port.

• The vertical base is attached with a small screw.
• Removed screws can be stored in the base.
• The stand can be attached to the side of the PS5 with clips, and then used to rest the console on its side.
• The white panels can easily be removed.
• There are two dust catchers on the side, which can be easily vacuumed up.
• For future storage expansion, M. 2 interface with PCi 4.0 support is installed.
