Those who have spent a lot of time cleaning their PS4 will be pleased. Because with the PS5, dust removal should be much easier. The official teardown of the PS5 shows how it could be done.
Where is the information from? Sony had shown in an official video how to properly disassemble the PlayStation 5. The interior, including the processor, cooling, and slots for compatible SSDs, was presented.
An interesting aspect was how the PlayStation 5 protects itself against dust that enters the console. Sony has come up with an interesting trick here.
PS5 teardown shows that dust is likely not a problem
What was shown? In the video, the technician from Sony shows that there are two holes hidden behind the outer casing. These are intended to trap the dust that enters the console over time.
Through these holes, the accumulated dust should also be able to be removed quickly. Many readers will be pleased, as this not only saves nerves but also costs significantly less time than if one had to completely disassemble the console.
You should not do this with the PlayStation 5 anyway, as it will void the warranty.
What you need to consider: To free your console from dust, according to the technician, you only need to remove the white side panels and then directly access the cover with the holes where the dust is.
How well this actually works in practice, we do not know yet.
However, Sony also explained that “the dust collector does not guarantee that the hardware will not collect dust.” You must therefore ensure that your console remains clean.

No sign of a 3rd wave yet
Many users are still hoping that Sony will launch a third sales wave of PS5 consoles. But it is still unclear whether and when there might be a possible 3rd wave for the PS5.
The glimmer of hope for a 3rd wave of pre-orders has not materialized. According to sources, it was supposed to start on October 5, but that did not happen. Instead, there are more and more users complaining about their orders being canceled.
