The release of the new PlayStation 5 is just over a month away, and while there’s plenty we do not yet know about Sony’s new console – such as how backwards compatibility works – we do now know what the inside of the machine looks like.
Sony employee Yasuhiro Ootori gives a detailed breakdown of nearly every part included in the PS5 in this teardown video shared by Sony on Wednesday.
If you aren’t a huge fan of the way the PS5 looks, there’s potentially good news. Taking off the white shell of the PS5 is extremely easy, and it seems likely that either Sony or third parties will quickly begin offering alternate shell styles.
