Our take on the PS5 PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition 825GB Console

The PS5 Slim Digital Edition is Sony's disc-less PlayStation 5, about 30% smaller than the original launch console and shipped with 1TB of storage instead of 825GB. It keeps the same custom AMD CPU and GPU, the ultra-high-speed SSD, haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in the DualSense controller, and 3D Audio. With no disc drive, all games come from the PlayStation Store, so it suits buyers who already download everything and want the cheaper, smaller PS5. Reviewers rate the fast load times and controller immersion highly; the trade-offs are no used or borrowed discs, a smaller-than-advertised usable drive, and a separate vertical stand.

About the PS5 PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition 825GB Console

The PS5 Digital Edition (slim) is an all-digital version of the PS5 console with no disc drive. To get games, sign in to your account for PlayStation and buy and download them from PlayStation Store. The slim design packs the console's hardware into a compact body.

It uses a custom CPU, GPU and SSD with Integrated I/O. The ultra-high speed SSD gives near instant load times for installed PS5 games. The console supports ray tracing, 4K gaming, and up to 120fps with 120Hz output on 4K displays in compatible games. On an HDR TV, supported games display a wider range of colors.

The DualSense wireless controller provides haptic feedback and adaptive triggers with dynamic resistance in select PS5 games. Tempest 3D AudioTech is available in supported games through built-in TV speakers or analog/USB stereo headphones. The console plays over 8,500 PS4 games, and Game Boost can improve frame rates in some of them. ASTRO's PLAYROOM comes pre-installed.

Questions and answers

Is the PS5 Slim Digital Edition worth it over the original PS5?
It performs the same as the original PS5 in games, in a smaller body with a 1TB drive. It makes sense if you want the current model and never use discs; owners of an original PS5 gain little.
Can I play disc games on it?
No. There is no disc drive, so games must be bought and downloaded from the PlayStation Store. Supported PS4 games can be played from your library.
How much storage do I actually get?
The drive is 1TB, but the system software takes a share, so usable space is lower. You can add an M.2 NVMe SSD for more room.
Does it come with a vertical stand?
No. The console can stand vertically only with a stand, which is sold separately. It sits horizontally out of the box.
What is in the box?
The console, one DualSense wireless controller, an HDMI cable, a power cord and printed materials. The stand is not included.
Can I use my PS4 games and accessories?
Supported PS4 games run on the console, and most PS4 accessories such as controllers work with compatible titles. Check each game for compatibility.
