Rumors about a slimmer PS5 have turned into reality as Sony officially introduces the PlayStation 5 Slim, available now for purchase on PlayStation Direct at the price of $499.99. Aptly named “Slim,” this latest addition comes after previous revisions were simply marketed as PlayStation 5.
When it comes to performance, the PS5 Slim maintains the technological excellence of its predecessor. The latest PS5 Slim introduces enhancements in design, showcasing a remarkable reduction in volume by over 30%, weight by 18%, and 24% when compared to its predecessors. This results in a more sleek gaming console without any compromise in performance.
In addition to the reduced weight and size, the Slim version gains a second USB-C port on the front, replacing the USB-A port of its predecessor. A departure from the previous model, the vertical stand for the PS5 Slim is now a separate purchase at $29.99.
An intriguing aspect for Digital Edition buyers is the newfound capability to retrofit a disk drive—a feature absent in the previous model.
In related news, Sony’s PlayStation Pulse Explore earbuds and Pulse Elite headset are currently live for pre-order across the world. These audio devices are tailor-made to be used with the PlayStation 5, providing users with the best audio experience. They come with features like lossless audio quality, AI-enhanced noise rejection, and surround sound. The headset features a retractable boom microphone.
