Our take on the PlayStation 5 Slim Console

The PS5 Slim is Sony's smaller, lighter revision of the standard PS5, sold in a Disc Edition with an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive and a Digital Edition without one. Both run the same custom AMD hardware with ray tracing, an ultra-high-speed SSD for quick loads, and output up to 4K at 120fps on compatible games and displays. A DualSense controller with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback is included. It sits below the PS5 Pro: you give up the Pro's stronger GPU and upscaling but keep the full PS5 library, and it is the cheaper way into current-generation Sony exclusives. Owners generally rate the slimmer size and quiet running highly, while the unchanged performance and the Digital Edition's reliance on the PlayStation Store are the usual sticking points.

What reviewers say

Owners describe the Slim as a quieter, more living-room-friendly PS5 that performs like the original. Most praise the fast loading and the controller, while critics note the unchanged power and the Digital Edition's dependence on digital purchases.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say the smaller body fits shelves and TV stands far more easily than the original.
  • PerformanceMixedReviewers note it matches the original PS5 rather than beating it, so it is a refresh, not an upgrade.
  • NoisePraisedMany owners report it runs quietly during long sessions.
  • StorageCriticisedThe built-in SSD fills fast with large games, so buyers often add extra storage.
  • Disc driveMixedDisc Edition buyers value physical games and Blu-ray playback; Digital Edition owners miss disc deals and resale.
  • ControllerPraisedThe included DualSense is widely liked for its haptics and adaptive triggers.

Questions and answers

Is the PS5 Slim worth it over the original PS5?
If you don't own a PS5, yes: it plays the same games in a smaller, lighter body. If you already have the original, there is little reason to switch.
Should I get the Disc Edition or the Digital Edition?
Choose the Disc Edition if you buy physical games, resell them, or watch Ultra HD Blu-rays. Choose the Digital Edition if you buy everything from the PlayStation Store.
Does the PS5 Slim play PS4 games?
Yes. Most PS4 titles are playable, and many run better on the PS5 hardware.
What is in the box?
The console, one DualSense wireless controller, an HDMI cable, a power cord and a stand. The stand design differs between the Disc and Digital versions.
How does it compare with the PS5 Pro?
The Pro has a stronger GPU and better upscaling for sharper, smoother images. The Slim costs less and runs the same library at standard PS5 quality.
Can I add more storage?
Yes. There is an M.2 slot for a compatible NVMe SSD, which is the usual fix for the base drive filling up.
Where is the PlayStation 5 Slim Console cheapest?
At Gydget, for $499.99, as of our latest check.
