Sony?s Yasuhiro Ootori has said that the PlayStation 5?s cooling performance will remain the same regardless of how players position the console.
In an interview with 4Gamer (via Wccftech), Ootori said that there?s a general assumption that placing the console vertically will result in better heat dissipation. However, the fan is designed to work according to horizontal and vertical specifications.
