Do You Need a Stand for PS5?
No, you don't absolutely need a stand for the PS5, but it comes with one for a reason. It’s a lot more stable and even provides better airflow. Trust me, you don’t want that beast overheating!

You definitely don't NEED one, but it does help with stability and cooling. Plus, it just looks cool standing up!
Hot take: I've had my PS5 laying flat without a stand, and it works just fine. Save your money for games!
I highly recommend using the stand! My PS5 started to wobble on my entertainment center, but the stand ensured it stayed steady and cool.
