Our take on the Sony PlayStation 5 Digital

The PlayStation 5 Digital is Sony's disc-drive-free version of the PS5, with the same 4K-capable hardware, DualSense motion-control support, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and 825 GB of built-in SSD storage. It stands out for its fast load times, 4K output and haptic controller, but games can only be bought and played digitally. No current price was supplied with this listing, so check the live comparison against its recent range before buying.

Questions and answers

Is the PS5 Digital worth it over the disc model?
Yes if you buy all your games digitally and never rent or resell discs. The disc model costs more but lets you use cheap used discs and Blu-ray movies.
How much storage does it have, and can I add more?
It has 825 GB of built-in SSD storage, and the system software takes part of that. You can add a compatible NVMe M.2 SSD later.
Can it play PS4 games?
Yes, most PS4 games run on it, downloaded from your PlayStation Network library. Disc-only PS4 games will not work because there is no drive.
Does it support 4K and 120 fps?
It outputs up to 4K and supports 120 fps in compatible games, but only if your TV has HDMI 2.1 for the highest frame rates.
What comes in the box?
You get the console, one DualSense controller, an HDMI cable, a power cord and a stand. No game disc is included.
When is it cheapest?
Discounts usually appear around Black Friday, Prime Day-style sales and console bundle promotions. Check the price history before buying.
What do buyers say about the Sony PlayStation 5 Digital?
Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 68 ratings.
