Our take on the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital

The PS5 Slim Digital is Sony's smaller, lighter PS5 with no disc drive. It keeps the same CPU and GPU as the original, so games run and look the same, and it ships with a 1TB SSD instead of the original's 825GB. It suits players who buy games digitally and want a quieter, more compact console under a TV. Against the disc model it gives up physical discs and used-game resale, and against the Xbox Series X it trades a little raw power for faster load times and Sony's exclusives.

Questions and answers

Is the PS5 Slim Digital worth it over the original PS5?
If you buy games digitally, yes: it is smaller, quieter and has a larger 1TB SSD. Performance is identical, so owners of the original have little reason to switch.
Can I add a disc drive later?
Yes. Sony sells a detachable Ultra HD Blu-ray drive that attaches to this model, turning it into a disc-capable console.
How much storage does it have, and can I expand it?
It has a 1TB SSD with roughly 850GB usable. You can add a compatible M.2 NVMe SSD in the expansion slot.
Does it play all PS5 and PS4 games?
It runs the full PS5 library and most PS4 games through backward compatibility. Disc-based PS4 and PS5 games need the add-on drive.
What is in the box?
The console, one DualSense wireless controller, an HDMI cable, a stand and a power cable.
How does it compare with the Xbox Series X?
The Series X has more raw GPU power and a disc drive; the PS5 Slim Digital loads faster in many games and has Sony's exclusives, but is digital-only out of the box.
Where is the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital cheapest?
At Dr. Tech PR, for $699.99, as of our latest check.
