Sony launched the Slim version of the PS5 in November 2023, three years after the release of its larger counterpart. As the name suggests, the Slim is a more compact version of the standard PS5, coming in 24 per cent lighter and 30 per cent smaller.
It also boasts 1TB of storage compared to the previous model’s 825GB and a second USB-C port, along with 4K graphics and HDR technology. It also comes with Sony’s DualSense wireless controller that offers haptic feedback and adaptive trigger functionality.
