In preparation for the holiday season, Sony has unveiled an exciting development: a fresh iteration of the PlayStation 5. Much like its predecessors, the PS5 is undergoing a significant slimming-down process. Scheduled to hit the market next month, this redesign trims down the system’s size by an impressive 30%. Sony has expressed its intention for the PS5 Slim to become the new standard, indicating that once the remaining 2020 models are sold out, the sleeker versions will be the sole option for prospective buyers.

Accompanying the console’s release are two novel accessories that offer gamers expanded possibilities for personalization. While Sony has not yet disclosed the precise launch date, consumers in the United States can eagerly anticipate the new PS5 making its appearance at select retailers in the upcoming month.

New Sony PlayStation 5 Slim Specifications

As per Sony’s official PlayStation blog, the new design introduces several refinements to the specifications, albeit these changes are relatively modest compared to the extensive enhancements seen in previous slim models. According to Sony’s statements, the latest PS5 has undergone a remarkable reduction in volume, exceeding 30%, and its weight has been trimmed down by 18% to 24% when compared to its predecessors.

The PS5 Slim is offered in two variations: one equipped with an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive and the other a digital version without it. Both configurations boast a generous 1 terabyte of storage via a removable solid-state drive, a notable improvement from the previous 825 gigabytes, marking the most substantial upgrade.

The disc version boasts dimensions of approximately 14 inches in height, 4 inches in width, and 8 ½ inches in depth. In contrast, the digital version measures approximately 14 inches in height, 3 inches in width, and 8 ½ inches in depth. These dimensions stand in contrast to the original PS5 with a Blu-ray drive, which stood at about 15.4 inches in height, 3 ½ inches in width, and 10.2 inches in depth.

Moreover, there are some aesthetic enhancements, primarily involving the front and back cover panels, which have been divided into four distinct segments. The top portion now features a glossy finish, while the bottom maintains its matte appearance.

When Will the New PS5 Slim Be Available?

The sleeker, slimmer PlayStation is primed to grace store shelves this November. It’s poised to make its debut in carefully selected locations, gradually extending its reach to global markets in the subsequent months. Furthermore, it will be accessible for online purchase through direct.playstation.com where the option is available. As soon as the existing inventory of the current PS5 model is depleted, the more compact version will stand as the sole offering.

How Much Will the New PS5 Slim Cost?

Unfortunately, for those seeking a bargain, the sleeker design does come at a slightly higher cost. The price of the Blu-ray Disc edition will hold steady at $499.99, while the digital edition will see a $50 increase, making it $449.99. However, for those who appreciate the flexibility of having a disc drive but are on a tighter budget, there’s a smart alternative: opting for the digital version and later adding the Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive attachment for $79.99.

Here are the suggested prices for the new models across different regions:

  • In the U.S.: PlayStation 5 with an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive ($499.99); PS5 Digital Edition ($449.99)
  • In Europe: PS5 with an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive (549.99 EUR); PS5 Digital Edition (449.99 EUR)
  • In the U.K.: PS5 with an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive (479.99 GBP); PS5 Digital Edition (389.99 GBP)
  • In Japan: PS5 with an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive (66,980 JPY, tax included); PS5 Digital Edition (59,980 JPY, tax included)

Additionally, consumers have the choice to purchase a Vertical Stand compatible with all PS5 models for $29.99.
