Numeroina marraskuussa lanseerattava Playstation 5 "Slim" on 30% pienempi ja 18% keveämpi. Tämä kokoero on kuitenkin merkittävämpi kuin mitä pelkistä numeroista voisi päätellä.
Verkkoon on vuotanut kuva, jossa uusi ja vanha malli ovat rinnakkain, ja kieltämättä ero on merkittävä.
"To address the evolving needs of players, our engineering and design teams collaborated on a new form factor that provides greater choice and flexibility. The same technology features that make PS5 the best to play are packed into a smaller form factor, along with an attachable Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive and a 1TB SSD for more internal storage. The new PS5 has been reduced in volume by more than 30%, and weight by 18% and 24% compared to the previous models. There are four separate cover panels, with the top portion in a glossy look, while the bottom remains in matte."
