PlayStation 5 Slim

2023, November 10

Sony announced revised models of the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition in October 2023, with a release scheduled for November 2023. These models, colloquially referred to as the "PlayStation 5 Slim", are physically smaller and replaced the original versions of the system. The front USB-A port was replaced with a second USB-C port, though it still operates at USB 2.0 speeds. At launch, both versions included 1 TB of internal storage, but the Digital Edition was later reduced to 825 GB of internal storage.

The revised Digital Edition was priced higher than the original; in the US, it was $50 more expensive. An optional Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive can be purchased separately for $80 and attached to the Digital Edition, making it functionally and visually equivalent to the standard model. When positioned vertically, the model with an optical disc drive measures 358 mm (14.1 in) high, 216 mm (8.5 in) deep, 96 mm (3.8 in) wide, and weighs 3.9 kg (8.6 lb). The digital edition is slightly slimmer at 80 mm (3.1 in) wide and weighs 2.6 kg (5.7 lb).
