New PlayStation 5s have already appeared in stores, although Sony has not officially announced them. The company skipped the presentation due to a controversial decision.
There are currently three main versions of the PS5 on the market: the classic 2020, the more compact PS5 Slim, and the high-performance PS5 Pro. All were released at different times or are designed for different users, but now another unexpected option has appeared on sale.
In recent days, information has leaked that Sony has quietly updated the PS5 Slim. This is particularly indicated by the insider billbil_kun. It has not changed externally or in terms of performance, but there is a significant difference.
The Japanese corporation did not hold an official announcement due to a controversial move: the updated PS5 Slim has a smaller SSD — 825 GB instead of the usual 1 TB, while the price remained the same. According to unofficial data, this decision made it possible to avoid raising the cost of the console in Europe, while keeping the remaining characteristics unchanged.
Players should be careful when buying and decide whether a smaller amount of memory will become a serious disadvantage or an insignificant compromise.
