PS5 box dimensions: The height, width, depth, and weight you want to find under the Christmas tree

Guides
By Rachel Weber last updated 16 August 2022

The PlayStation 5 will be with us soon, but what are those PS5 box dimensions?

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

The PS5 box dimensions are no surprise once you get a look at the new PlayStation 5. It's a huge, 10lb of machine, packed with new technology and featuring a bold design that wouldn't look out of place in a Black Mirror episode. So for whatever reasons you need to know, here are the PS5 box dimensions. 

  • Height: 17 inches / 43 cm
  • Width: 18.5 inches / 47 cm
  • Depth: 7 inches / 18 cm 
  • Weight: 14lb 8 ounces / 6.7 kg

If you're having trouble visualizing the size of the box from those numbers, here's a 30lb French Bulldog for scale.

Inside the box you'll find the console, a DualSense controller, a stand to support your PS5, an HDMI cable, a power lead, and a USB C to USB cable. The PS5 also comes pre-loaded with Astro's Playroom, a game that really showcases what the machine, and the DualSense, can do.

If you want to know more about the PS5, check out our initial impressions of the hardware with our PS5 unboxing and our first look at Astro's Playroom, where we got to grips with the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers of the new DualSense controller. 

If you missed out on the first load of stock, head over to our PS5 pre-orders guide for the latest updates at the best retailers and hope you get lucky. If you've rather hold out for a bundle or are crossing your fingers that some PS5 accessories will get discounted, you'll want to keep your eye on our PS5 Black Friday deals page.
