The PlayStation 5 is bold and unconventional. The basic structure consists of a central component suspended between two side panels with a three-dimensional curved surface. The shape’s appearance varies constantly depending on the angle from which it is viewed. An adjustable stand allows the console to be positioned either vertically or horizontally. The placement of the internal components optimises the flow of air through the console. This reduces excess heat, which can quickly become a problem for high-performance consoles.
