Sony has recently revealed a teardown video of its upcoming PlayStation5 console revealing the internals of the next-gen console. The teaser video shows a full-fledged cooling fan which is going to be responsible for keeping the console cool during long-hour gaming. However, a bigger fan also means that the PS5 is going to make noise. The company claimed that the gaming console is quit and fan noise and not remarkable but the predecessor PS4 was known for its ridiculous noise issue. According to a new report, this time Sony has taken the issue seriously and optimized the fan noise.

The report claims that the developers are capable enough of adjusting the PS5 fan speed with a firmware update after the launch. So in case, the users are going to complain about the fan noise, the developers will be able to resolve the issue with an update.

“Ootori explains that once games are released for the PS5, Sony will gather data on how the console deals with heat. This data is key to understanding not just how millions of PS5s handle a wide variety of video games, but also how they handle them in diverse areas that are hot, cold, dusty, and so on,” Sony’s mechanical design department VP Yasuhiro Ootori told 4Gamer in an interview.

The report also suggests that Ootori explained that the company has a plan ‘B’ to optimize the fans of the PS5 based on data collection, “the PS5 has three different temperature sensors on its main board that Sony is able to use to control fan speed. Using these sensors, Sony can update the PS5’s “fan control parameters” in order to appropriately deal with system heat. These changes will be made through a firmware update at a later date,” reads the report.

Ootori didn’t reveal the reason behind the pre-planning of optimizing the fan speed. Sony has already faced a lot of heating issues in past and the company seems to be correcting the mistakes it has committed in past. The company is focusing on making the console as efficient as possible.

By the number of times you have played it and considering you paid once and on PS1 you could say that now it is a f2p for you.

I guess it's to remove clutter. You still buy PSP and PS3 content?

What I'm sad to see is the removal of wishlists but it looks like it'll be integrated into PS5 (link).

I really just want a store as fast as possible as well.

As for launch games, same 3 for me (DS, Astro and Sackboy) with Valhalla down the line.

No online or patches required. Quite impressive that this also applies to PS4 bc games.

However, Sony's been sending out optional updates for some of their PS4 games with locked framerates (link). If these patches are unlocking framerates in preparation for PS5 boost mode, I'd certainly have no problem updating before playing. 60FPS all the way.

My console is always online, so I don't mind patching them for best performance. I just abhor the idea of not being able to play them without connection as can happen with digital titles. 

Launch in 24 days. We're slowly getting there guys

One new that I didn't saw anywhere else. Winning trophies will unlock special prizes, like avatars, banners, wallpapers, etc.

There is a tease of Killzone on the UI show, considering Horizon 2 will launch 2021 would Killzone have a sequel for PS5 nearby?

I'm guessing Guerrilla's 2nd team will be ready to show their shooter in 2022.

Back in 2018, they hired 2 of the key developers behind RS: Siege.

We may even receive a shadow drop announcement. Well let's say this second team have been developing the sequel to Killzone even before Horizon 1 started development. Perhaps Killzone could be a launch title (even if launch window) and they will reveal very near launch to give that final hype push (I think it is unlikely, but not impossible).
