Is the PS5 a liar?
The PS5 can be laid flat on its side, just like its predecessor. Consumers were misled, believing that the PS5 could only be positioned vertically, as it was initially shown in this position. The PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition are able to be placed horizontally.
Is the PS5 required to have a horizontal base?
Yes, the base must be used to lay the PS5 horizontally. This is due to the natural curve of the PS5's outer shell. Sony claims that the base comes with the console and you don't have to buy it separately. The base is required for positioning the PS5 vertically or horizontally. It can be removed as shown in the official PS5 breakdown.
We've got the solution for you if you don't know how to attach your PS5 base. This is a straightforward process that only requires a screwdriver. However, you will need to complete it regardless of how you position the console.
Can the PS5 be held vertically?
Yes. Yes. It needs the above stand but the PS5 may also be placed vertically. It's difficult to find a place that will fit it because it is too tall, or maybe even too tall, for many entertainment stands.
What is the PS5's size?
Sony confirmed that the PS5 is quite beefy. The official dimensions of the PS5 are taller and longer than those of the Xbox Series X.
PS5: 15.4x4.1x10.2 inches (widthxheightxdepth)(excludes largest projection, excludes base)
PS5 Digital Edition: 15.4x 3.6x10.2 inches (widthxheightxdepth)(excludes largest projection, excludes base)
Although the PS5 is available at this time, it may be difficult to find one in stock. Preorders can take up to a few days depending on where you live.
