PS5 Slim Doesn't Come with a Vertical Stand, Needs to Be Bought Separately | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

The newly announced PS5 redesign — which everyone is casually referring to as the 'Slim' — will not ship with a vertical stand, it seems. This means that, unless you're okay with just balancing your console on its base — that's assuming this model is completely flat at the bottom — you'll need to buy a separate stand. According to the official product materials, the new PS5 only comes with a horizontal stand, which appears to be a kind of plastic leg that props the system up when it's placed on its side.

But if you want to have your console standing tall, you'll need to hand over $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99 for the so-called Vertical Stand (which can be used with previous PS5 models as well). Given that the new PS5 will sell at the same price as the current models, it's a bit cheeky of Sony to demand an additional purchase like this.

There it is

Are you surprised that a stand isn't included? Feel free to have a good rant in the comments section below.

Robert's been a dedicated PlayStation fan since the days of Tekken 2, and he still loves a good dust up. When he's not practising combos, he's usually getting lost in the latest 100-hour RPG, or, y'know, replaying The Witcher 3.

Does it work without the stand?

It's cool that it supports itself horizontally, but paying more for vertical? Gross

Sony turning into EA

I'd reccomend not bothering with that stand, if your going vertical then invest in a better multifunction stand off amazon which chargers two controllers, headset and has a fan built in to keep the console cool, all for an extra £5-£10 over this basic rip off.

On the one hand, that's not great but if the base is the same, it should support itself vertically without the stand, my PS5 is.

That’s insane.
