Sony PS5 standard slim 1TB 2 controller +FC25

Sony PS5 standard slim 1TB 2 controller +FC25 slimmer model that packs the same power as the launch model. Sony has not officially called it the ‘PS5 Slim‘, but due to its slimmer nature and past naming schemes, it is already being referred to as the PS5 Slim by most of the gaming community.

Overview

Accordingly, the older model will unofficially be called the original fat PS5. In this story as well, we will refer to the new model as the PS5 Slim for purposes of model differentiation. The newly introduced Sony PS5 Slim features a brand-new, slimmed-out design. There are other new changes, such as:

30% volume reduction
Up to 24% weight reduction
New PS5 Slim side covers with both glossy & matte finishes

More storage for games: now at 1TB

The digital model supports a detachable Blu-ray disc drive
The new horizontal stand and the vertical stands are now sold separately
Discussing the new Sony PS5 standard slim design further, the top side covers have a glossy finish while the bottom one has a matte finish instead. This contrasting look makes the new slimmer PS5’s design quite different from the original console. However, some fans have shared criticism for both the new and old PS5 consoles looking the same. Still, Sony’s intention for a new PS5 Slim was to leverage the power of more efficient internals & introduce a slimmer design. Sony’s new detachable disc drive is required to play disc games on the new PS5 digital edition. But if you buy the PS5 disc edition, you will get the disc drive attached.

People who have the launch edition PS5 might be looking to upgrade to the slimmer version. While you can do that, you should know that there is no performance difference between the original console & the new Sony PS5 standard slim . However, those with a PS4 can make the new Slim their next purchase. Sony has also confirmed that once the current PS5 stocks sell out, the new PS5 Slim will be the only model available.
