Contributing to serial numbers documentation[edit | edit source]

This guide was made thanks to MCKUC who was the first to decode the serial number of a CFI-11xx UK/EU8. All the info here is based on people's contribution, and (qtr_703 on twitter / qtr703 discord) educated guesses on the later S01-x (blanks were filled based on PUP release dates).

Which PS5 to buy?[edit | edit source]

Fat vs Slim vs Pro

This page's charts does not apply to refurbished Ps5 boxes

How to look for a specific System Software version[edit | edit source]

Look under the PS5 box for the serial number. It varies between regions in 2020 and 2021 only. Make sure that the package is sealed. Under the PS5 on the right side under the barcode the serial number should exactly match what is written under the box (but without S01-). After finding it, just look for it in this page by its first four letters.

Example of 5.10 and under PS5 it is E226
