There is often a lot of confusion among PlayStation 5 owners when it comes to cleaning the gaming machine. We want to provide more clarity on this aspect, so that everyone can keep Sony’s latest generation console clean.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not necessary to open the PlayStation 5 to clean it . The reason is quite simple: Sony has designed its latest console with a peculiar system in mind to make cleaning really easy.
To clean the PlayStation 5, simply remove the two side panels with a very simple movement: in a few moments, you will find yourself in front of the central body of the console and you will be able to remove without any problems all the dust accumulated in the air vents that run along the entire upper part and the grates under which the fan is hidden.
In this way, it is possible to clean the console by removing a good part of the excess dust. Using a cotton swab and being very careful, it is even possible to reach the fan to remove the bulk of the accumulated dirt . Those who want can disassemble the grille that protects the fan and clean this component more carefully, but this is an additional step that we recommend only for expert users, since any errors could lead to a malfunction of the fan and consequent overheating problems of the PlayStation 5.
We remind you that it is very important to carry out this procedure from time to time , since large quantities of dust can have an influence on temperatures and, especially in the summer, can cause the console to reach excessively high temperatures.
