Best answer: Yes. Though the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition were shown to be standing vertically during the initial announcement, both can lay on their sides horizontally. However, you’ll need to use the included base to do so.

Can the PS5 lay on its side?

Just like its predecessor, the PS5 can lay flat on its side. There was some worry that it would need to stand vertically because it was shown that way during its initial announcement, but this is not the case. Both the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition can be placed horizontally.

Does the PS5 need a base to lay horizontally?

Yes, you’ll need to use the base to lay the PS5 horizontally. We haven’t seen too many pictures of the PS5 on its side, but those that have been released always have the base underneath it to support it. This is likely due to the fact that the outer shell of the PS5 is curved and not flat.

Sony has shared that this base is included with the console, so you won’t need to purchase it separately. When laying the PS5 horizontally or vertically, you’ll use the base which can be swapped out by unscrewing it, as seen in the official PS5 breakdown.

Can the PS5 stand vertically?

Yes. It requires the aforementioned stand, but the PS5 can be placed vertically. Good luck finding somewhere to fit it though, because it’s really tall — maybe even too tall for some entertainment stands.

How big is the PS5?

Sony has confirmed that the PS5 is pretty beefy. It’s official dimensions put at at a taller height and longer length than the Xbox Series X.

  • PS5: Approx. 15.4in x 4.1in x 10.2in (width x height x depth)(excludes largest projection, excludes Base)
  • PS5 Digital Edition: Approx. 15.4in x 3.6in x 10.2in (width x height x depth)(excludes largest projection, excludes Base)

Waiting for November 12
