The PlayStation 5 Slim is Sony’s refreshed, more compact hardware iteration of the original PS5 console. It delivers identical next-generation graphics and performance while introducing a streamlined chassis, increased internal storage, and modular expandable drive options.

Key Features & Improvements

* Smarter, Smaller Design: Reduced in total volume by over 30% and lighter by 18% to 24% compared to the launch PS5 models. It features four distinct cover panels—glossy on top and matte on the bottom.

* Upgraded Internal Storage: Upgraded from the original 825 GB SSD to a full 1 TB Ultra-Fast NVMe SSD, giving you more space out of the box for modern AAA titles.

* Modular Ultra HD Blu-ray Drive: The Digital Edition of the PS5 Slim supports a detachable Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive, allowing users to buy the Digital version first and attach a physical disc drive later.

* Modernized Front Ports: Replaces the legacy front Type-A port with dual USB Type-C ports on the front panel for faster device connectivity and charging.

* Immersive DualSense Experience: Includes the DualSense Wireless Controller, featuring tactile haptic feedback, dynamic adaptive triggers, and a built-in microphone.
