Sony PS5 Digital Edition Slim vs PS5 Slim Astro Bot Bundle

Both are the same PS5 Slim hardware with 1TB of SSD, so the real decision is disc drive versus game. The Digital Edition has no disc drive, so every game is a download; the Astro Bot Bundle console has a disc drive and ships with the full ASTRO BOT game. Reviewers rate both highly, and owners praise the smaller Slim body and quiet running. Buy the Digital Edition if you never use discs; buy the Astro Bot Bundle if you want physical games, 4K Blu-ray playback, or the packed-in game.

  • Choose the PS5 Digital Edition Slim if you buy all your games digitally and want the cleaner, disc-free console.
  • Choose the PS5 Slim Astro Bot Bundle if you own or rent discs, watch 4K Blu-rays, or want ASTRO BOT included.

What reviewers say

Sony PS5 Digital Edition Slim

  • 4.9 / 56,921 ratings

Owners of the slim Digital Edition generally rate it highly for its smaller size, quiet running and fast loading. Complaints center on the lack of a disc drive and the cost of digital games.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say the slim revision fits shelves and TV stands the original PS5 could not.
  • NoisePraisedMost owners report the fan stays quiet even during demanding games.
  • StorageMixedThe 1TB drive is bigger than before, but large games still fill it fast and expansion needs a separate M.2 SSD.
  • Disc driveCriticisedBuyers miss cheap used discs, rentals and Blu-ray playback.

PS5 Slim Astro Bot Bundle

  • 4.8 / 5303 ratings

  • StorageCriticisedPlayers say 1 TB goes quickly once several large games are installed.
  • NoisePraised

Questions and answers

Which is better for someone with a shelf of PS4 discs?
The Astro Bot Bundle. Its disc drive plays supported PS4 discs, while the Digital Edition cannot read any disc.
Do they perform the same in games?
Yes. Both use the same PS5 Slim internals: custom CPU at 3.5 GHz, 16GB GDDR6, 1TB SSD, ray tracing and 4K up to 120fps on compatible TVs.
Is the Astro Bot Bundle worth stepping up to?
If you want a disc drive or the full ASTRO BOT game, yes. The bundle adds both, and the drive lets you resell or borrow discs.
Which lasts longer?
Both should last similarly; the hardware is the same. The disc drive is the one extra moving part, so the Digital Edition has slightly less to wear out.
Can I add storage to either one?
Yes. Both have an M.2 slot for an extra SSD, so the 1TB built-in drive can be expanded on either console.
Which is quieter?
The Digital Edition, since it has no disc drive. The bundle's drive adds some noise while a disc spins.
