PLAYSTATION | Tips to extend the life of the console

Keep it clean: Dust and debris can accumulate on the console’s exterior and vents, possibly causing it to overheat or malfunction. Clean the console regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent this.

Keep it cool: make sure your PS5 or PS4 has adequate ventilation by placing it in an open space with plenty of room for air to circulate. Avoid placing it in a narrow cabinet or on a soft surface that may block the vents and cause overheating.

Avoid surges: Plug your PS5 or PS4 into a surge protector to prevent damage from power outages. This will help protect your console and prolong its life.

Keep it up to date: be sure to update your PS5 software regularly to ensure it runs smoothly and efficiently. You can enable automatic updates to make sure you always have the latest version.

Store your games correctly: When not in use, store your sets in a cool, dry place to prevent damage from excessive heat or moisture.

Be careful: Avoid dropping, shaking, or pushing your PS5 or PS4. This can damage the internal components and cause a malfunction.

Take breaks: avoid playing for long periods without taking a break. This will help prevent the console from overheating and prolong its life.
