The PS5 Slim is a smaller, lighter version of the original PlayStation 5, offering the same powerful gaming performance but in a more compact design with a redesigned look, increased 1TB storage, and modern USB ports, available in both disc and digital editions, with a detachable disc drive for the digital model. It features a split finish, making it easier to fit into entertainment centers, and requires a separate purchase for a vertical stand.

The PS5 Slim offers the same core performance as the original PS5 in a smaller body, featuring a custom AMD Zen 2 CPU, RDNA 2 GPU (10.3 TFLOPS), 16GB GDDR6 RAM, and up to 120fps 4K gaming, but it comes with a larger 1TB SSD (vs 825GB original) and supports an optional disc drive for the Digital Edition, with slightly different, smaller dimensions and lighter weight.
