Is It Bad for the PS5 to Be Vertical?

Best Answer

Nope, it's perfectly fine to keep your PS5 vertical! Sony even designed it to stand that way, just make sure it's stable.

I've had mine standing up since launch and haven't had any issues. Just be careful it's not in a spot where it could easily tip over.

Hot take: Your PS5 is meant to stand tall like a skyscraper. Just ensure proper ventilation and you're golden.
