Our take on the Sony PlayStation 5 Slim Console Digital Edition

The PS5 Slim Digital Edition is Sony's smaller, disc-free PlayStation 5. It plays the same PS5 library at up to 4K 120Hz with ray tracing and the fast SSD that cuts load times, and it runs cooler and quieter than the original model. With no disc drive, every game is bought and downloaded from the PlayStation Store, so it suits players who already buy digital and want the lower-cost entry to the PS5 library. Against the disc model it gives up physical discs and used-game resale; against the Xbox Series X it trades raw power for a strong exclusive lineup and the DualSense controller's haptics.

Questions and answers

Is the PS5 Slim Digital worth it over the original PS5?
If you want a smaller, quieter console and never use discs, yes. It performs the same as the original, so upgrade only for size and noise.
Can I add a disc drive later?
Yes. Sony sells a detachable Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive that attaches to this model, turning it into a disc-capable PS5.
How much storage does it have, and can I expand it?
It has a 1TB SSD. You can add an M.2 NVMe SSD that meets Sony's speed requirements for more game storage.
Does it play PS4 games?
Yes. Most PS4 games are playable through backward compatibility, downloaded from your library or the store.
What comes in the box?
The console, one DualSense wireless controller, an HDMI cable, a power cord and a horizontal stand. A vertical stand is sold separately.
Do I need PlayStation Plus to play online?
Yes, online multiplayer requires a PlayStation Plus subscription. Free-to-play games are the main exception.
Where is the Sony PlayStation 5 Slim Console Digital Edition cheapest?
At The Phone Guys, for $649.99, as of our latest check.
