Our take on the PlayStation PS5 Slim Digital Console Kit

The PS5 Slim Digital is Sony's disc-free revision of the PS5, about 30% smaller than the original with an 825GB SSD and a bundled DualSense controller. It plays the same PS5 library at up to 4K/120Hz with Tempest 3D AudioTech. The best new price is $749.99 at Walmart as of November 8, 2026, with only two stores listing it new, so there is little price competition to shop around.
