Something to keep your eye on for anyone using wired controllers or accessories with the PS5's back USB-A port:

PS5 systems are melting USB ports during extended gameplay sessions, according to a report from Kotaku on Monday.
The issue was noticed this past weekend at Evolution in Las Vegas, the world's largest fighting games tournament. Players from around the world descended on the Mandalay Bay Convention Center to compete in games like Street Fighter 6, Guilty Gear Strive and Tekken 7, among others.
Because the PS5 only has one USB-A port up front, many players plugged their fighting game controllers into one of the available ports in the back. Considering these systems were on for hours at a time with competitors filtering through, PS5s were likely heating up throughout the day. And because the PS5 exhausts heat from the back of the system, temperatures may have gotten hot enough to melt the plastic inside USB ports.
