Our take on the PlayStation 5 Slim Console with Cosmic Red DualSense

This is Sony's slimmer PS5 Digital Edition, a disc-free console with a 1 TB SSD and a Cosmic Red DualSense controller in the box. It runs games at up to 4K resolution and up to 120fps on compatible displays, with HDR and Tempest 3D AudioTech. The smaller body and 1 TB drive address the two biggest gripes about the original PS5: its size and its 825 GB storage. It suits players who buy games digitally and want the full PS5 experience without a disc drive; anyone with a disc library should look at the disc version instead.
