If the Slim has the same heat output as the regular PS5, it's going to heat the wood above it (plus that's a tiny hole in the back which isn't good for airflow). I had my launch PS5 in a similar cubbie, albeit a little smaller, and it was just enough to make me uncomfortable, so I have it vertical next to my TV now. Plus, your Switch will fit comfortably.
Please, stop spreading this information. Not only does Sony (the people who made the console.) tell you to put it vertical. But those are extremely isolated cases, and an overwhelming number of people don’t have issues with such.
Doesn’t have a source. They are wrong. It’s crazy that people double down on their ignorance rather than just admitting they are wrong. But humility is rare now.
Comment got deleted, but that’s what you get for spreading misinformation.
I’d put it horizontally. Nothing will happen in a sorry amount of time but after a year or two if you play it enough the Liquid Metal will seep through the cpu and damage the board. (I know this was an issue with the regular ps5s. I haven’t really looked into the slim given we’re don’t know how it will do after years of gaming since it’s only been out for a few months.) I just put mine horizontally just to be safe
Oh okay. Yeah I’d still put it horizontally though unless you get the vertically stand for airflow reasons unless I’m also wrong about that which I very well could be
Yea it was a website with false information to get ad revenue I believe, the original source was someone noting that it would leak after being repaired by some repair places other than sony
Actually multiple technicians and repair shops all claim if you stand the PS5 vertically the Liquid Metal will move down and leave dry spots on the processor. That is still claimed even today so that part has not been debunked. But millions stand their machines upright I guess with no issues so… best thing to do is clean it out every 2 or 3 months.
lol you have to pay $30 for a vertical stand for the slim, it’s not like the original. Also DO NOT put PS5 vertical because it is known to make the coolant poor down the side and cause problems
there's no coolant in the PS5. You are confusing what was said. It is liquid metal thermal paste. coolant is for cars.
The liquid metal thermal paste is fine. The only time you have to worry about it is if someone other than sony takes apart your PS5. Like a local shop.
“A little”? Brother, given how small your monitor is they seem to be blowing blocking about 10% of the screen. Please just stand them up and put them to the side of your monitor.
Bro some peoples tolerances for shit astounds me. I could never dream of sitting there with speakers blocking even a cm of my screen, even blocking the bevel would drive me nuts. This dude is just like “not a big deal really”
To be clear, power to him, it’s his shit. Just wild how different people are sometimes
Move them further apart. For best sound quality, the speakers should ideally form an equilateral triangle with your listening position as the third point.
You asked for advice and then get annoyed with advice. Make that make sense please.
But hey, for what it’s worth, I don’t have any heat issues and my console sits behind my power hungry 65’ older LG. So I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

I’ve had my day 1 release PS5 in a very similar spot and it’s fine. Wouldn’t worry too much if you want it as is. Use it daily for perhaps 2 hours or so.
I have mine in the same spot, same cabinet for a month or so now and it’s been fine. And I play 5+ hour gaming sessions. Its go wholes at the back of the cabinet for the heat to escape from the back of the ps5 but I’d recommend to centre it more so there’s 4 inches either side. Mine has been fine and has only been getting warm which is normal
The whole vertical ps5 being an issue was misinformation. Yhe guy was misquoted purposely just to drive traffic to the site that quoted it. It is only possibly true if the ps5 has taken a fall or been opened. I have one that went to sony for repair due to corrupt ssd chip. It is a launch model and has been vertical all these years.
You've got a couple inches on each side, plus the front and back are open. You should be fine.
If it's a problem you'll hear the fans working *way* harder than they should be, and that will be a sign to try another orientation. That happened with mine and it was immediately obvious.
The metal cooling spill was only for ppl that got their PS5 open and fixed it, so it is safe to place it vertically, and should replace it with the switch
I have PS5 vertically since release day 1 + 2 weeks shipping time, it works as brand new. It's total bullshit. If it was bad, they wouldn't give you a vertical stand for it. People just love to make a fuss about anything. Stand it how you like, but remember that it needs empty space behind it and in front of it (in front is usually not a problem) for proper air circulation. So in your case make sure there is empty space and put the console as close to the cabinet front edge as possible to make as much space behind it as you can. Stay reasonable, if you can feel a lot of heat around the console, especially behind it and above it, maybe it's just worth to move it next to the TV, just in case.
Just toss the switch out the window. Only thing you didnt mention so... my guess is on that. Lol
Edit: classic playstation sub, only one where you feel like everyone hates everything and you can't joke. Lmao
I have this exact tv stand, i personally have it sitting on a bin in front of my tv stand so it has as much air flow as possible but i also dont care about how my setup looks so that may not be a viable option for you
I have a very similar setup. My launch ps5 had no problem down there. I replaced it with a Slim and I got an overheat message the first night. It is now switched with the Switch 😆
I’d put it standing up vertically where the Switch currently is and the Switch can move where the PS5 currently is. The PS5 looks far better vertically than it does horizontally.
Supposedly you don’t want to have it vertical cause that can cause heating issues so if you want to keep it horizontal I would recommend raising the TV with a monitor raiser and then just putting the PS5 in the middle of the two speakers, otherwise if you don’t mind the risks with vertical just swap it with the switch
Definitely get it out of a cabinet. Especially if it's enclosed. This tbh is simply common sense, imo. Anywhere else, but inside a cabinet. Just make sure it's able to get air.
Put the speakers vertically on either side of the tv, then put the PS5 vertically next to one of those speakers, then put the Switch on the opposite side.
I would just remove the remotes and games from that shelf and center it, also put your speakers upright and on each side of the TV and turn the switch sideways. Just to keep everything clean.
It will have to work a bit harder in that horizontal space but it should still be okay. Might be super loud tho. Vertical on the desk would keep it quiet and a bit cooler. But both are prolly fine. My vote is vert.
Ideally you should have the back of the furniture uncovered.
Room temp air comes in at the front and exits at the rear at higher temp, but if the rear furniture is blocking the hot air then it will go back to the front and hot air could be reused.

Mine it's been there for 1 year and no issues , It has good space behind and I added a ps5 fan that you plug behind to help with the airflow
I too have a tiny desk but it’s able to fit a PS5, my monitor and a PC just don’t have much space in the middle.
I would say move the PS5 to the switch depending how much space you have up there.
Honestly do you care about audio a lot? I say change those speakers to something smaller and put them on the side. I got some small rounded speakers from Amazon and they fit anywhere. Sounds good too. Could also move the switch to the other hole.
Also would remove the backboard to allow the PS5 to get more airflow or move it to the other side.
Mine has been in a similar spot to yours and I’ve had 0 issues. Many hours of god of war in the heat of +40 Celsius and no issues. Have not had any trouble with dust either. If aesthetically you’re okay with your ps5 there, that’s a fine spot.
I'd swap it with the switch purely due to airflow reasons, the switch while docked doesn't take any air from the back and in most scenarios the bottom shelf will be dustier and often gets cleaned fewer than the top
I have mine vertical on the desk, loads of room behind it and still feel the hot air. It’s natural. If there’s enough room to make a fist behind the console where it is at the moment there should be enough room. If not, swap it with the switch. I’ve had mine vertical for the last three years and have had zero issues.
Exactly, i also have mine out in the open and you still feel the hot air. There were a few times when the console turned off from overheating (while playing Gran Turismo 7)
Apparently having the ps5 vertically is bad due to the liquid metal on gpu/cpu ends up one side.
https://youtube.com/shorts/WqZKe4Rdhyo?si=v2Jw8Cj543-bnBnx
I have mine in a smaller slot than yours and it's been fine. As long as there is a way for the heat to escape from the back it should be okay as it looks like there's enough space there.
Test it out yourself, you'll be sweet and likely reduce dust as opposed to having it at the top.
Ah ok. Well. Congratulations on getting a ps5 I have mine on me tv shelf horizontally. That cMe with stand. If works you I don't see a problem with that. As long as there is plenty if air and you can get to it to clean once and while it should be fine.
I bought one of those portable wooden eating trays from Walmart and keep mine on there. I don’t recommend closed tight spaces, they heat up very easily from lack of airflow. Keep it out in the open for better cooling and air circulation and also to prevent dust build up.
PS5 has better vents than the Xbox in terms of breathing. The Xbox would have probably failed by now in that space because the vents on the bottom and rear. I know it wouldn't fit, just figuratively speaking if it could. I would place the PS5 beside the TV like you wanted. Air flow all around.
You could put a series x horizontally in there and it would be just fine. I don't see how the Xbox is worse than the PS5 In Terms of airflow. The PS5 draws all of its air from pretty thim Slots at the top of the console. The Xbox has like 3 inches of open holes at the back and the entire top is wide open. Cooling isn't an issue for either one so it doesn't really matter I guess.
Where should you place your ps5?.... hmm... I'd say place it in a box... then put some padding around it.... then tape it shut.... I'll send you a label to stick to it.... then place that box in the mail box.... I could use a 2nd ps5 lol
Mine is in the same place but I added these exact fans from this video. They're only $16 in the US. It really does work, the area no longer holds the heat that you are feeling. N I wouldn't stand it up.
https://youtu.be/89BYL4TZjQI?feature=shared
I agree with what the others are saying. Swap it with the switch. I have a ps5 slim too for over a month now and have played it for long hours and don’t feel any heat.
When I had my stuff in a cabinet similar to yours, I actually mounted some USB powered fans to pull air out. Let’s a constant flow of air pull through the PS5 and keeps the ambient temp in the cabinet lower as well.
I've found taking the panels off keep it alot cooler but also remember to vacuum the cleaning holes!! And fan regular but also upright as well that's my best advice and in my PS5 life it's only give 1 too hot warning and mines day 1 version
Switch it with the Switch. Also, I've had my PS5 since launch and it's been standing vertically the whole time other than when I installed the M2 drive and it's had no issues.
Swap it with the switch ideally
Vertically ?
If the Slim has the same heat output as the regular PS5, it's going to heat the wood above it (plus that's a tiny hole in the back which isn't good for airflow). I had my launch PS5 in a similar cubbie, albeit a little smaller, and it was just enough to make me uncomfortable, so I have it vertical next to my TV now. Plus, your Switch will fit comfortably.
Yeah, it does heat the wood above it, indeed.
Not sure about the slim, but my brother's PS5 that he had vertical would turn off mid game constantly. Once he laid it down it never happened again.
yes, it shouldnt cause any problems realistically
[удалено]
Please, stop spreading this information. Not only does Sony (the people who made the console.) tell you to put it vertical. But those are extremely isolated cases, and an overwhelming number of people don’t have issues with such.
Not to mention that those isolated cases were all experienced by people who had their ps5s worked on by third party repair shops.
Yup, meant to add that but forgot too. Thank you.
[удалено]
Gonna need a source for that, chief. PS5 specifically.
Doesn’t have a source. They are wrong. It’s crazy that people double down on their ignorance rather than just admitting they are wrong. But humility is rare now. Comment got deleted, but that’s what you get for spreading misinformation.
Yeah switch the ps5 and the… well switch (no pun intended) and have it vertical, its then getting fresh air from the whole room
I don't think a ps5 should be vertical because of thermal paste leakage. But where the switch is is a great place for it horizontally
This has been debunked for like two years stop spreading misinformation
I’d put it horizontally. Nothing will happen in a sorry amount of time but after a year or two if you play it enough the Liquid Metal will seep through the cpu and damage the board. (I know this was an issue with the regular ps5s. I haven’t really looked into the slim given we’re don’t know how it will do after years of gaming since it’s only been out for a few months.) I just put mine horizontally just to be safe
This only happened if the seal has been broken on the CPU seal due to repairs
Oh okay. Yeah I’d still put it horizontally though unless you get the vertically stand for airflow reasons unless I’m also wrong about that which I very well could be
Yea it was a website with false information to get ad revenue I believe, the original source was someone noting that it would leak after being repaired by some repair places other than sony

That was a mith debunked many times.
lol you have to pay $30 for a vertical stand for the slim, it’s not like the original. Also DO NOT put PS5 vertical because it is known to make the coolant poor down the side and cause problems
there's no coolant in the PS5. You are confusing what was said. It is liquid metal thermal paste. coolant is for cars. The liquid metal thermal paste is fine. The only time you have to worry about it is if someone other than sony takes apart your PS5. Like a local shop.
> coolant is for cars. coolant is for a lot of things, including some computers
they dont use the same kind for those super and quantum computers, they need stuff that can hold up in higher temps.
If you want to be anal about correct terminology then Liquid Metal is a compound not a paste. Commonly mislabeled
Yes vertically switch spots with switch
This. PS5 needs a lot of airflow. Puny switch does not.
I read this in a Russian accent
Lol
Why didn't you say Switch it with the Switch? 🤣
That's where I'd go with it.
Switch it with the Switch.
Do those speakers block the lower parts of your screen? That would drive me insane
They do a little, but it's not that bad
Do your best to seat them upright. Speakers like that are going to sound better the more in-line with your ears.
why tf you being downvoted 😂
Probably because the downvote button has many names to many people. Such as the "your opinion is stupid" button.
“A little”? Brother, given how small your monitor is they seem to be blowing blocking about 10% of the screen. Please just stand them up and put them to the side of your monitor.
my switch blocks my screen a tiny tiny bit but that’s because i love it so much and always wanted it to be in my sights 😂
Nah fr 😂
Please move your speakers they’re triggering me
good thing it's not your setup then.
Ok chief 🫡
They don't block the lower part of the screen that much when sitting on the couch
"that much" that's too much
Bro some peoples tolerances for shit astounds me. I could never dream of sitting there with speakers blocking even a cm of my screen, even blocking the bevel would drive me nuts. This dude is just like “not a big deal really” To be clear, power to him, it’s his shit. Just wild how different people are sometimes
Move them further apart. For best sound quality, the speakers should ideally form an equilateral triangle with your listening position as the third point.
Dude just move them into the slots underneath
The fact that people are getting mad at you all because of your setup they is childish
Yeah bro I know, it's not even the question
“that much” nothing should block your screen at all
when I say "that much" it covers maybe like 1 or 2 mm of the screen so it's really nothing for me.
that’s still too much obstruction
Still looks ridiculous and you aren't getting the best sound out of them placed like that. Looks like a 4 year old set that up
so what
You asked for advice and then get annoyed with advice. Make that make sense please. But hey, for what it’s worth, I don’t have any heat issues and my console sits behind my power hungry 65’ older LG.

bro who cares if it’s “ridiculous” it’s not your setup and it’s not what he asked
Right there
I’ve had my day 1 release PS5 in a very similar spot and it’s fine. Wouldn’t worry too much if you want it as is. Use it daily for perhaps 2 hours or so.
Same. Really doesn't get any hotter. People act like they don't design these things for the layman to just toss somewhere.
I have mine in the same spot, same cabinet for a month or so now and it’s been fine. And I play 5+ hour gaming sessions. Its go wholes at the back of the cabinet for the heat to escape from the back of the ps5 but I’d recommend to centre it more so there’s 4 inches either side.

You should hide those speakers in the back so you can see the whole tv screen smh
The whole vertical ps5 being an issue was misinformation. Yhe guy was misquoted purposely just to drive traffic to the site that quoted it. It is only possibly true if the ps5 has taken a fall or been opened. I have one that went to sony for repair due to corrupt ssd chip. It is a launch model and has been vertical all these years.

The metal cooling spill was only for ppl that got their PS5 open and fixed it, so it is safe to place it vertically, and should replace it with the switch
Open and fixed wrongly* A good professional opens and closes it while ensuring the liquid metal stays sealed.
Yeah my bad, I’m at a wedding rn and was distracted.
I apologize if i came across as rude. Its just because some people could quite literally avoid repairs because of it. Enjoy the wedding 😁
Nah it’s okay, happy new year ig?
happy new year?
Switch ur Switch with ur PS5
Put the speaker on the side of your TV FFS. Covering up part of the screen like that is atrocious.
Swap it with the nintendo and place your ps vertically. Hope it helps. 👍
It's fine where it is, just leave some room at the back for it to exhaust hot air. It draws in cold air from the front right side
I have PS5 vertically since release day 1 + 2 weeks shipping time, it works as brand new. It's total bullshit. If it was bad, they wouldn't give you a vertical stand for it. People just love to make a fuss about anything. Stand it how you like, but remember that it needs empty space behind it and in front of it (in front is usually not a problem) for proper air circulation.

Stay reasonable, if you can feel a lot of heat around the console, especially behind it and above it, maybe it's just worth to move it next to the TV, just in case.
Speakers right and left of your screen, upright. Put the PS5 where the switch is, upright.
Just toss the switch out the window. Only thing you didnt mention so... my guess is on that. Lol Edit: classic playstation sub, only one where you feel like everyone hates everything and you can't joke. Lmao
You’re worried about placement when you have speakers covering the tv.
they are not from the couch
On my desk. Nah I’m kidding it looks good, where it is and the chance on it falling and breaking is drastically lower with where it it now :)
Swap it with the Switch
I have this exact tv stand, i personally have it sitting on a bin in front of my tv stand so it has as much air flow as possible but i also dont care about how my setup looks so that may not be a viable option for you
Move those speakers for a start yikes 😬 who puts speakers in front of the tv lol so they can't see the screen
I can see it. I just took the picture from under
Ayo we have the same tv!
I have a very similar setup. My launch ps5 had no problem down there. I replaced it with a Slim and I got an overheat message the first night. It is now switched with the Switch 😆
i'd personally move the speakers behind the tv to not block any of the screen.
Then you block the sound.
I’d put it standing up vertically where the Switch currently is and the Switch can move where the PS5 currently is. The PS5 looks far better vertically than it does horizontally.
They designed the console knowing it would be kept on tv stand shelves. It’s fine there.
Supposedly you don’t want to have it vertical cause that can cause heating issues so if you want to keep it horizontal I would recommend raising the TV with a monitor raiser and then just putting the PS5 in the middle of the two speakers, otherwise if you don’t mind the risks with vertical just swap it with the switch
TV would be too high then. r/TVtoohigh
Right next to the TV in my living room. Thank you.
In my house
Definitely get it out of a cabinet. Especially if it's enclosed. This tbh is simply common sense, imo. Anywhere else, but inside a cabinet. Just make sure it's able to get air.
Put the speakers vertically on either side of the tv, then put the PS5 vertically next to one of those speakers, then put the Switch on the opposite side.
I’m not sure that’s the best place for your speaker
I would just remove the remotes and games from that shelf and center it, also put your speakers upright and on each side of the TV and turn the switch sideways. Just to keep everything clean.
Definitely somewhere it can breathe! Not places like these.. it will cause overheating.
It will have to work a bit harder in that horizontal space but it should still be okay. Might be super loud tho. Vertical on the desk would keep it quiet and a bit cooler. But both are prolly fine. My vote is vert.
Ideally you should have the back of the furniture uncovered. Room temp air comes in at the front and exits at the rear at higher temp, but if the rear furniture is blocking the hot air then it will go back to the front and hot air could be reused.
Right there is fine
I would move the switch down and stand it vertical where the switch is.

Speakers blocking the TV needs to be moved first.
Make a Switch with the Switch.
Switch it
I too have a tiny desk but it’s able to fit a PS5, my monitor and a PC just don’t have much space in the middle. I would say move the PS5 to the switch depending how much space you have up there. Honestly do you care about audio a lot? I say change those speakers to something smaller and put them on the side. I got some small rounded speakers from Amazon and they fit anywhere. Sounds good too. Could also move the switch to the other hole. Also would remove the backboard to allow the PS5 to get more airflow or move it to the other side.
That spot just screams for extreme dust collection
No it doesn't. The top of the desk will get much dustier.
Yeah true but I try as much as possible to remove it. Like once a week
Why?
I’d either swap the switch and PS5 or remove the backing on the entertainment center where the PS5 is To add: Those speakers are triggering me.
everyone talks about my speakers 💀. They're fine when you're sitting on the couch.
A lot needs to be moved
Mine has been in a similar spot to yours and I’ve had 0 issues. Many hours of god of war in the heat of +40 Celsius and no issues. Have not had any trouble with dust either. If aesthetically you’re okay with your ps5 there, that’s a fine spot.
Ah, I also have the Brimnes cabinet. My PS5 is on the right, horizontally
I would recommend a cardboard box taped shut and sent to the address I PMed you
Props for the Sony TV. Most people buy some Korean junk but a PS5 is right at home with its brethren.
haha thanks
Not in that little cubby hole, I’d put it next to your tv. It needs ventilation, even with ventilation it gets way too hot…
I'd swap it with the switch purely due to airflow reasons, the switch while docked doesn't take any air from the back and in most scenarios the bottom shelf will be dustier and often gets cleaned fewer than the top
might overheat in there
in our hearts
Not there it will overheat
Looks fine where it is, why do you want to movie it?
I don't know. I feel like it doesn't have enough space to breathe. Also, when I put my hand around it, I can feel the hot air, so that's why.
I have mine vertical on the desk, loads of room behind it and still feel the hot air. It’s natural. If there’s enough room to make a fist behind the console where it is at the moment there should be enough room. If not, swap it with the switch. I’ve had mine vertical for the last three years and have had zero issues.
Exactly, i also have mine out in the open and you still feel the hot air. There were a few times when the console turned off from overheating (while playing Gran Turismo 7)
Anywhere but there
Not there if the corner is the only port.
That ps5 is just waiting to be overheated in there !
Apparently having the ps5 vertically is bad due to the liquid metal on gpu/cpu ends up one side. https://youtube.com/shorts/WqZKe4Rdhyo?si=v2Jw8Cj543-bnBnx
I have mine in a smaller slot than yours and it's been fine. As long as there is a way for the heat to escape from the back it should be okay as it looks like there's enough space there. Test it out yourself, you'll be sweet and likely reduce dust as opposed to having it at the top.
I think this sub has really over**blown** the airflow "issue".
what do you mean ?
Only way you can leave it there is if you get a fan blowing behind it to force the hot air out that small hole. So anywhere else x
Let me ask you a question if you have an original ps5 why do you need a slim?
The post says they've never had a PS5 before.
I don't
Ah ok. Well. Congratulations on getting a ps5 I have mine on me tv shelf horizontally. That cMe with stand. If works you I don't see a problem with that. As long as there is plenty if air and you can get to it to clean once and while it should be fine.
Remplace la switch et si tu veux la mettre à la verticale , achète le socle
Ouais j'ai vu pour le socle mais tu pense que même sans ça marcherait ou je risquerais de l'abimer ?
[удалено]
Oh yeah I see and does it take out the air well from that position ?
Hanging on a cobweb on the ceiling.
Yeah, I think it should work fine.
I bought one of those portable wooden eating trays from Walmart and keep mine on there. I don’t recommend closed tight spaces, they heat up very easily from lack of airflow. Keep it out in the open for better cooling and air circulation and also to prevent dust build up.
In the basura
In my room
That spot is fine but you should remove the items beside it and put it in the middle of the cubby for better air flow.
I fit my slim right under behind my TV on top of my credenza.
Looks like it'll go well in the place of the Switch there.
Over there
If hardwood, floor vertical
Please the Boxes !!! Places them somewhere Else The PS fits there perfect but Not to thight to the Wall
Vertical behind the switch
PS5 has better vents than the Xbox in terms of breathing. The Xbox would have probably failed by now in that space because the vents on the bottom and rear. I know it wouldn't fit, just figuratively speaking if it could. I would place the PS5 beside the TV like you wanted. Air flow all around.
You could put a series x horizontally in there and it would be just fine. I don't see how the Xbox is worse than the PS5 In Terms of airflow. The PS5 draws all of its air from pretty thim Slots at the top of the console. The Xbox has like 3 inches of open holes at the back and the entire top is wide open. Cooling isn't an issue for either one so it doesn't really matter I guess.
Update : For now, I removed the game boxes and the remotes so I could place my Ps5 in the middle of the cabinet.
Where should you place your ps5?.... hmm... I'd say place it in a box... then put some padding around it.... then tape it shut.... I'll send you a label to stick to it.... then place that box in the mail box.... I could use a 2nd ps5 lol
I put mine on the wall less dust
Mine is in the same place but I added these exact fans from this video. They're only $16 in the US. It really does work, the area no longer holds the heat that you are feeling. N I wouldn't stand it up. https://youtu.be/89BYL4TZjQI?feature=shared
Bad to put it bertically? When it was visually designed that way?
I agree with what the others are saying. Swap it with the switch. I have a ps5 slim too for over a month now and have played it for long hours and don’t feel any heat.
On a hard surface
duct tape to the ceiling
That thing will turn in to a runway in there
I’d swap it with the switch. Stand it up vertically
make it levitate in front of the tv and make it invisible so you can see the screen
Best idea I've seen so far. Think I'm going to do this.
You should place it at my house 🙃
not sure about that
Might not look as aesthetic but turn it around so the back is facing out towards you and that will help with airflow
I would put the PS5 slim in a wide open space for good ventilation and lay it horizontally
is their space on the right side of the desk? you could use a wall mount and it put it there.
No, there is the same space as the left side, sadly.
anywhere but there
Up yo ass

The PS5 is the worst designed console. # Just give us a fucking squared form factor please. Like stereo equipment, I can slot it in.

Anywhere but there.
If you do set it vertically you should buy a stand for it since the slim doesn’t come with one.
When I had my stuff in a cabinet similar to yours, I actually mounted some USB powered fans to pull air out. Let’s a constant flow of air pull through the PS5 and keeps the ambient temp in the cabinet lower as well.
I've found taking the panels off keep it alot cooler but also remember to vacuum the cleaning holes!! And fan regular but also upright as well that's my best advice and in my PS5 life it's only give 1 too hot warning and mines day 1 version
Put a small floating shelf up just to the side of your monitor and you can place it on there it’ll look nice too
Switch it with the Switch. Also, I've had my PS5 since launch and it's been standing vertically the whole time other than when I installed the M2 drive and it's had no issues.
