It’s been a couple of years since Sony launched its PlayStation 5 gaming console, and now rumors indicate that the company is gearing up to introduce a slim version of the device gaming console.
The report, coming from The Leak, claims that Sony will be launching the PS5 Slim console in the third quarter of 2023, but there’s a possibility that the device may not have the word Slim in its name.
It is also being claimed that the upcoming device will be lighter and cooler compared to the original PS5. Further, it is said that the company is working on a solution to remove the requirement of a PS5 stand when the system is placed horizontally.
This isn’t the first time we are hearing about the new version of the PlayStation 5 getting launched in the year 2023. Earlier, reports were claiming that the company is working on launching a new model of the PS5 with a removal disc drive.
It has been a couple of years since the PS5 got launched, but potential customers are still facing shortage issues and have not been able to get their hands on the device easily. While the stock availability has been improving, people cannot just walk into the store and buy the PS5 gaming console, and they still have to source it from scalers for more than the MRP.
The development comes after Sony recently increased the PS5’s price in various regions, including Europe, the UK, Japan, and more, citing high global inflation rates and adverse currency trends as the reasons for the hike.
