How to Remove the Screw Plug from PS5

At the bottom of your PS5, you'll notice there's a screw plug, blocking you from screwing the stand into place. We don't know how better to explain this, so we'll get straight to the point: you just need to pull it out. Obviously don't go wild, but use a bit of force and it should come loose.

Remember, the stand itself includes the screw you need to attach the base to your console, you just need to twist it to reveal a secret compartment. You can put the screw plug back in here for safe keeping. That's it really; just be patient and you'll be setup in no time.
