A Youtuber Redesigned a Portable PS5 Tablet: Here’s How
In a surprising turn of events, a foreign Youtuber has managed to create a portable PS5 tablet, allowing gamers to play their favorite PS5 games on the go. Three years after the launch of the PlayStation 5 (PS5) console, Sony introduced the PS Portal game console last year, enabling cloud streaming for PS5 games. However, the limitations of cloud streaming prompted the Youtuber to take matters into their own hands.
DIY Perks, the Youtuber responsible for this innovative creation, recently shared the entire creative process on their channel. The first step involved removing the PS5 motherboard and then redesigning the heat dissipation mechanism. The motherboard was covered with an entire copper plate, and approximately 10 heatpipes were added to address the heat dissipation issue. Additional fans were incorporated for cooling, and an external screen and frame were installed to complete the production of the portable PS5 tablet.
While the official means of playing PS5 games on the go is still through the PS Portal game console and cloud streaming, DIY Perks’ creation opens up new possibilities for gamers. The Youtuber’s innovative redesign of the PS5 motherboard showcases a potential DIY solution for those looking to play their PS5 games on a portable device.
The process, while intricate and undoubtedly challenging, proves that with the right skills and determination, it is possible to create a portable version of the PS5. As of now, the only way to play the PS5 on the go officially is through the PS Portal game console. However, DIY Perks’ creation could inspire other tech enthusiasts to follow suit and attempt to build their own portable PS5 tablet.
