What our console insurance covers
- Accidental damage to consoles and handhelds
- Liquid spills, which happen where consoles live
- Cracked screens on Switch and Steam Deck
- Theft following a break in
- Damage caused by anyone in the house
The console lives in the busiest room
A console sits in the room with the most traffic, usually near the floor, surrounded by cables, drinks and people who are not looking where they are going. It is rarely one person’s device either, which is part of why it takes a knock.
Handhelds are phones with worse odds
A Switch or a Steam Deck is a large screen carried around and played with two hands while walking, on trains and in bed. It gets dropped the way a phone does and has considerably more glass to land on.
Why Dynamo
Cover that works the way you do
Cracked handheld screens
The Switch and Steam Deck carry large screens that are used on the move, and a cracked panel on either is the most common console claim we handle.
Spills and drinks
Consoles live where people eat and drink, and a knocked glass into the vents of a PS5 is not something Sony will treat as a warranty repair.
Damage by anyone in the house
Consoles are shared devices, and it makes no difference to the claim who was holding the controller when it went over.
Theft in a burglary
Consoles are among the most commonly taken items in a break in, and a stolen machine is replaced with the same model and storage.
Every platform
PlayStation 3, 4, 5 and PS5 Pro, Xbox 360, One and Series consoles, Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, OLED and Switch 2, plus Steam Deck.
Older consoles too
A Wii, a 3DS or a PS4 still gets played, and there is no age limit stopping any of them going on cover.
