Our take on the PlayStation 5 Disc Edition 825GB Console with Midnight Black Covers

The PlayStation 5 Disc Edition is Sony's current-generation console, built around a custom ultra-high-speed SSD that cuts load times sharply and enables fast streaming of game worlds. It plays physical discs as well as digital games, outputs up to 4K at 120fps on compatible displays, supports ray tracing and 8K output, and ships with the DualSense controller whose haptic feedback and adaptive triggers are the feature rivals most often try to match. The disc drive makes it the pick for players who buy, lend or resell physical games and watch Blu-ray films; the digital-only model is the alternative for those who never use discs. Owners praise the fast loading and the controller, and criticise its large footprint, fan noise under load and modest 825GB of storage once the system software is counted.

Best forPlayers with a 4K TV who want current-gen exclusivesBuyers who use physical discs, trade games or watch Blu-raysHouseholds that want the DualSense haptics and adaptive triggersAnyone upgrading from a PS4 who wants fast loading
Pros
  • Very fast SSD loading and quick resume between games
  • DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers are genuinely new
  • 4K at up to 120fps with ray tracing in supported titles
  • Plays discs, so games can be resold, borrowed or bought used
  • Backward compatible with most PS4 games
  • 8K output support for future displays
Cons
  • Large, tall console that needs open space around it
  • 825GB fills quickly; the usable space is smaller still
  • Fan noise audible under heavy load
  • No Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos for games
  • Only the disc model accepts the covers shown; digital consoles need different ones

What reviewers say

Reviewers and owners rate the PS5 highly for its load speeds, the DualSense controller and its exclusive games. Common complaints are the console's size, fan noise and the small usable storage, which pushes many buyers to add an M.2 SSD.

What people mention
  • Load speedPraisedOwners say games start and fast-travel far quicker than on the PS4.
  • ControllerPraisedThe DualSense haptics and adaptive triggers are the most-cited reason the console feels next-gen.
  • SizeCriticisedReviewers and owners call it large and awkward to place in a media unit.
  • Fan noiseMixedMost say it is quiet, but some hear the fan during demanding games.
  • StorageCriticisedOwners find 825GB tight after system files and a few large installs, and many add an M.2 drive.
  • ExclusivesPraisedReviewers point to Sony's first-party games as the main reason to choose it.

About the PlayStation 5 Disc Edition 825GB Console with Midnight Black Covers

This is the PlayStation 5 console with a disc drive, 825GB of storage, and Midnight Black covers. The covers are compatible only with PS5 consoles that have a disc drive.

The console uses an ultra-high-speed SSD for fast load times. Its custom integrated I/O gives rapid access to SSD data. In supported games, ray tracing produces realistic shadows and reflections, and HDR shows a wider range of colors on HDR TVs.

It supports 4K TV gaming and up to 120fps in compatible games, with 120Hz output on 4K displays. It also supports 8K output (4320p). Tempest 3D AudioTech places sound in every direction. The DualSense controller provides haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that vary in force and tension.

Questions and answers

Is the disc edition worth it over the digital edition?
Yes if you buy, borrow or resell physical games, or watch Blu-ray discs. The digital edition is cheaper and slimmer but ties you to the PlayStation Store for every purchase.
How much storage does it actually have?
It ships with an 825GB SSD, but the system software takes a share, so you get less than that for games. You can add a compatible M.2 NVMe SSD to expand it.
Does it play PS4 games?
Yes, most PS4 games run on it, and many load faster or run with improved frame rates. A small number of titles have compatibility issues.
Do these covers fit the digital edition?
No. The covers are made for PS5 consoles with a disc drive only; the digital console has a different shape and needs its own covers.
What is in the box?
The console, one DualSense wireless controller, an HDMI cable, a power cord, a stand and printed documentation. No games are included.
Does it need a 4K TV to be useful?
No. It works on a 1080p TV, but you lose the 4K and 120fps benefits. A 4K set with HDR and HDMI 2.1 gets the most out of it.
