Sony tears down the PS5 hardware

With just about a month before the launch of Sony’s next generation PlayStation console, the company has produced a slick teardown video showing off the most important part of the PS5: the inside.

The dive into the hardware shows off the cooling and noise control solutions, the motherboard, the unique rotating stand, the build quality and more.

Check out the video below along with the info via the PlayStation Blog.

PS5 Teardown: An up-close and personal look at the console hardware:

It?s getting close to November, and we are very excited for the launch of PlayStation 5 console. Today, we wanted to give you a sneak peek at the console?s interior, so you can take a look at all of the magic happening inside the PS5 that brings out the beautiful games you?ll experience this holiday season.

We began conceptualizing PS5 in 2015, and we?ve spent the past five years designing and developing the console.

Our team values a well thought out, beautifully designed architecture. Inside the console is an internal structure looking neat and tidy, which means that there aren?t any unnecessary components and the design is efficient. As a result, we?re able to achieve our goal of creating a product with a high degree of perfection and quality.

In this teardown video of the PS5 console, you will be able to see how we have thoughtfully integrated our technology into this console.

We felt it was inevitable to make a generational leap in terms of performance in order to deliver a new, next-generation gaming experience. However, to do so, we had to balance every aspect of the system, from focusing on reducing the noise level to enhancing the cooling capacity, more than ever before.

We?ve also highlighted the mechanism in the video below that we?ve incorporated into the PS5 console to make the operating sounds even quieter. After an extensive and complex trial and error process, we were pleased with the end result and I can not wait for our fans to get their hands on the PS5 console and ?hear? it for themselves.

Although we have faced unprecedented challenges this year with many of us working remotely from home throughout the world, we are pleased to be able to deliver a new transformative experience to you with PS5 this November.

*Do not try this at home. Risk of exposure to laser radiation, electric shock, or other injury. Disassembling your PS5 console will invalidate your manufacturer?s guarantee.
