Sony offers a one-year warranty in the US. However, you\u2019ll get a two-year warranty in the UK and many other countries worldwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/assets\/imgs\/2022-11-05\/how-long-ps5-warranty.jpeg\" alt=\"How Long Is PS5 Warranty?\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you purchase your console from an authorized seller, it is automatically covered by warranty, even if you don\u2019t register it.

Damage from misuse, negligence, or accidents unrelated to manufacturing defects is not covered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, using the PS5 for commercial purposes or altering the serial number will also cancel the warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Is your PS5 beeping but not turning on but it&#8217;s no longer covered by warranty, so you can have it repaired?
