Let the Playstation 5 breathe fresh air

Basically, to avoid getting too hot while playing games on your PlayStation 5, make sure the console is in a well-ventilated area and away from any heating appliance. Above all, don't leave the PS5 stuck to a wall or in an enclosed space. Also place thick materials, such as rugs or carpets, at least one meter away so they don't block the airflow to the SONY PS5 console. If possible, use an additional cooling system for more efficient heat transfer to the processing unit! See also: PS5: the most frequent breakdowns

Clean the PS5 fan regularly

It's important to clean your PS5 every day if you want to keep it in tip-top shape. In just a few simple steps, cleaning can be done without disassembling any part of the console! The first thing to do is remove the front panels and use brushes or fiber cloths on all vents within easy reach; this will prevent dust build-up that could cause problems in the future (like overheating or worse). Next, when cleaning the fan, make sure there's no debris trapped in the fan. Coarse dust can build up quickly. See also: Sony's State of Play: the 5 best announcements

Protecting the SONY PS5 from your pets

The best way to enjoy your PlayStation 5 is to keep pets and other electronic devices away from it. Your pet may not know that its proximity blocks air circulation, but you do!
