All user of PS4 You know that although the consoles do not suffer from overheating problems, they are not particularly quiet, an aspect that Sony wants to improve with PlayStation 5, or at least that’s what it indicated Simon Rutter, Executive Vice President and Head of Business for Sony in Europe.
During the conversation, it was said that the current PlayStation 4 has received modern games that are visually very advanced for the age of the console, taking as an example The Last of Us Part II and God of War, but of course, this takes to the limit of the performance to the console to the point that it is so noisy that it seems that it is about to take off, but Simon assured that the company “has made a great effort” to make the PlayStation 5 less noisy and not repeat the same problems.
According to rumors from Bloomberg earlier this year, Sony had implemented an ‘unusually expensive’ cooling system on the console, although we don’t really know any details about it, since so far only the cooling system of the development kit has been leaked in the form of a few diagrams of the patents.
As soon as the console was announced, a bad cooling system was anticipated due to the console’s own narrow and slim design, but then the scale design was shown, which has revealed that the console is considerably taller than Xbox Series X, meaning that there is more space that an advanced cooling system can hold that allows the console to work at safe temperatures without the noise being really annoying.
