Is this the slimmer PS5? A picture and video that were secretly shared display a thinner and shorter PlayStation 5 with a removable disc drive. It seems like there might be a new edition of the PlayStation 5 coming. People are calling it the PlayStaion 5 Slim. They say it’s designed to be thinner and a bit shorter. And it might have a disc drive that can be taken off.
The Leaks
The smaller PlayStation 5, called PS5 Slim, was first seen on a Chinese website when someone posted a picture. Later, an Australian shop that fixes PlayStations, named Better Way Electronics, shared a video. It was showing the outer plastic part of the possible PlayStation 5 Slim. The case has a rounded shape, a raised area for the disc player, and two openings on each side. It also has two USB-C ports in the front, unlike the current PS5 versions that have one USB-C and one USB-A port.

Sony might be making the PS5 Slim to give more choices to people who want to buy a PS5. Insider Gaming said last year that Sony was making a PlayStation 5 that you can take the disc drive off of. This one might come out in September 2023. The idea is that people could buy the PlayStation 5 Slim without the disc drive. And later get it if they want. This would make the PlayStation 5 Slim cost less than the $399 PS5 Digital Edition and the $499 PlayStation 5 with a disc drive.
Sony is yet to confirm the existence of the PS5 Slim. But we may find out soon enough if these rumours are true. Sure! Sony has dropped the prices of the PS5 in some countries, like India, for a short time. This happened after they shared that they sold 40 million units of the console since it came out last month.
