Sony has officially unveiled its latest version of the beloved PlayStation 5 gaming console, introducing the PS5 Slim to gamers in India. The company is now presenting the slimmed down version of its flagship console.
Available in two variants, the Sony PS5 Slim and PS5 Digital Edition, priced at Rs. 54990 and Rs. 44990, both consoles hit shelves today, April 5, at 10am IST. For those interested in purchasing the console, Blinkit offers home delivery in just 10 minutes.
With the tagline “Same Immersive Power. New Slimmer Size”, the PS5 Slim features a more compact design compared to its predecessor, addressing concerns about the size of the original PS5. Sony touts a volume reduction of over 30% and a weight reduction of 18% to 24%, offering a more streamlined gaming experience.
In terms of aesthetics, subtle tweaks have been made to the console's design, with four panels instead of the previous two, potentially allowing for improved personalization options.
Under the hood, the PS5 Slim retains the same powerful internals as its predecessor, with no upgrades in performance or thermal efficiency. However, the storage capacity has been increased from 825GB to 1TB, putting it on par with the storage capacity of its competitor, the Xbox Series X.
With options available for both disc and disc-less editions, consumers have the flexibility to choose the right fit for their gaming preferences. And for those who opt for the PS5 Digital Edition but later change their minds, Sony offers a solution with a detachable Blu-ray disc drive, available separately for $79.
While the PS5 Slim presents an attractive package, Sony has made some notable changes to its accessory offering. The vertical stand, included with the current generation PS5, will now be sold separately for $29. Additionally, PS5 faceplates in various colors, such as Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, and Sterling Silver, will be available for $54.99.
