PlayStation 5 Digital Slim ASTRO BOT Bundle vs PlayStation 5 Slim Console

Both are the same Slim PS5 hardware, so gaming performance, ray tracing, 4K at up to 120fps and the DualSense controller are identical. The real split is storage and disc drive: the Digital Slim ships with 825GB and no Blu-ray drive, while the 1TB Slim gives you roughly 175GB more usable space and, in disc-drive versions, a 4K Blu-ray player. Buy the Digital bundle if you download everything and want the extra game included; buy the 1TB Slim if you keep a large library installed or still use discs.

  • Choose the PlayStation 5 Digital Slim ASTRO BOT Bundle if you buy games digitally, want Fortnite and Astro's Playroom included, and are fine adding an M.2 SSD later for more space.
  • Choose the PlayStation 5 Slim 1TB if you want more built-in room for a big game library or need a disc drive for physical games and 4K Blu-ray.

What reviewers say

PlayStation 5 Digital Slim ASTRO BOT Bundle

Owners and reviewers rate the Slim Digital as a solid, quieter revision of the PS5 with the same performance and a bigger SSD. ASTRO BOT is widely praised as one of the best platformers on the system and a strong showcase for the controller.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say the Slim is noticeably smaller and lighter than the original PS5 and easier to fit on a shelf.
  • NoisePraisedReviewers report it runs quietly in most games, quieter than the launch model.
  • StorageMixedThe 1TB SSD is an improvement, but owners say large games still fill it quickly.
  • ASTRO BOTPraisedPlayers call the bundled game inventive and charming, and a great demo of the DualSense.

PlayStation 5 Slim Console

Owners generally rate the Slim as the console to buy if you want a PS5, praising the smaller size, quiet running and fast SSD. The main complaints are that it is only a shrink of the original, that the stand is sold separately, and that 1TB still runs out with big games.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say it fits where the original PS5 did not.
  • NoisePraisedMost report it runs quietly during play.
  • StorageMixed1TB is more than before but still tight for big libraries.
  • StandCriticisedBuyers complain the vertical stand is not in the box.

Questions and answers

Is the 1TB Slim worth stepping up to over the Digital bundle?
Yes if you keep many big games installed or want a disc drive. If you play a few digital titles at a time, the Digital bundle covers the same performance and adds Fortnite.
Do both play the same games?
Yes. Both run the same PS5 library and most PS4 games with Game Boost. The only difference is that the Digital model cannot play discs.
Which has more usable storage?
The 1TB model, by roughly 180GB after system software. Both accept an M.2 NVMe SSD for expansion.
Is either one more reliable?
They share the same internals and build, so reliability is comparable. The 1TB model lists a one-year warranty.
Can I add a disc drive to the Digital model?
On the Slim generation, Sony sells a detachable Ultra HD Blu-ray drive that attaches to the Digital Edition. Check that your unit supports it before buying.
Which is better for a 4K TV?
Both output 4K at up to 120fps on compatible games with HDR and ray tracing. The 1TB disc version adds 4K Blu-ray playback.
