PS5 will go to players with a stand, thanks to which we will place the console vertically and horizontally. Customers do not have to worry that the device will cool down less during one of the settings, because engineers have taken care of proper heat dissipation in every situation.

Sony has already presented all elements of the PlayStation 5 and during the teardown, the company showed the possibility of changing the position of the PS5 – thanks to the stand included in the set, we can position the console vertically and horizontally. Microsoft even took the opportunity to show “How to rotate the Xbox Series X”which was widely commented on in our industry.
However, many players have an important question – what is the best way to set up the PS5? Future owners of the next-gen console are concerned that one of the solutions will provide better cooling performance, so Yasuhiro Ootori decided to comment on the situation.
The chief engineer of PlayStation 5 confirmed that, from a designer point of view, there is virtually no difference in cooling capacity when the console is placed vertically or horizontally:
“This is a frequently asked question. From a designer’s point of view, there is no difference in cooling capacity between vertical and horizontal positioning. I think some people believe that the heat dissipation efficiency should be higher vertically because of the chimney effect. However, in a cooling system with an active fan (electric fan), the chimney effect is within the measurement error level. It functions as specified in both the landscape and portrait orientation. Personally, I like the vertical layout where you can correctly see the top and bottom of the “PS logo” (laughs). “
In the case of PS5, an important detail is the size of the console, which will not fit under every TV, so some players will decide to place the equipment right next to the TV. And you plan to place the PlayStation 5 vertically or horizontally?
