Here Are Some Updates on the PlayStation 5 Slim Model

A trusted gaming insider has some news for us.

Even though many people still haven't been able to get their hands on a PlayStation 5 at a reasonable price yet, it seems that Sony is already working on the next PlayStation console, the PlayStation 5 Slim.

This news comes from a respected gaming industry insider named Tom Henderson. In a recent tweet, he stated the following.

“Small update on the PlayStation 5 that has a detachable disc drive — I’ve heard from two people now that the test kit is in people’s hands and it ‘works flawlessly’. We should hear more about it officially soon.”

Initially, it was Forbes and The Leak who reported the possibility of a PS5 Slim edition to be released in 2023. But this recent report from Henderson just backs up their claims.

In those reports, this new console will apparently use a “die-shrink” treatment which will reduce its overall design. It will also reportedly use less voltage, run cooler, and also weigh less than the current console. Production is also apparently scheduled for Q2 2023, with a release date predicted in Q3.

Additionally, Henderson stated the following.

“we should hear more about it officially soon”

This implies that we may very well be getting some sort of teaser from Sony officially revealing this new console. This will likely come in February, along with the release of the PSVR 2, which I talked about last month in this post.

If you’re wondering what a PlayStation with a detachable disk drive might look like, here’s a concept video from YouTuber VR4Player.fr.
