Here’s what the inside of a PS5 looks like in official Sony teardown video

Sony has released a teardown video showing just what’s inside a PS5 console, with another assurance that it’s really, really quiet.

If you want to know what exactly you’re getting for your money with a PlayStation 5, then Sony has just released a video showing one being ripped, very carefully, to pieces.

Performing the operation is Yasuhiro Ootori, vice president of mechanical design at Sony’s hardware design division – so he must know his way around a screwdriver.

It’s probably best to just watch the whole thing yourself but Ootori once again emphasises how quiet the PlayStation 5 is, which is why it and its fan is so large.

Other highlights of the tour include a good look at the front of the console and all its USB ports, the HDMI port, and the slot for the SSD storage expansion on the back.

You also get a good look at the removable side plates and stands, that have previously only been seen via leaks.

Further inside you get to see the actual SSD, the motherboard, heatsink, and the console’s other most vital components.

It’s all very interesting but doesn’t really reveal any new information, which is a bit frustrating considering there are still many questions to be answered – although admittedly mostly about software related issues such as backwards compatibility.

The PlayStation 5 is due to be released on November 19 in the UK and November 12 outside Europe.
