PlayStation 5 Slim Review in 2024
Reviewing the redesigned PlayStation 5 Slim with improved storage and optional disc drive.
Compact Redesign:
The PS5 Slim is 30% smaller and 18% lighter than the launch model. The sleek design fits entertainment centers better. Customizable faceplates add personalization options.
Expanded Storage:
The 1TB SSD replaces the original 825GB drive, providing meaningful extra space for today's massive games. The M.2 expansion slot remains for additional storage.
Detachable Disc Drive:
The Digital Edition can add a disc drive later—a first for PlayStation. This flexibility lets you start digital and add physical media when desired.
Unchanged Performance:
Gaming performance remains identical to the original PS5. 4K at 120fps, ray tracing, and near-instant loading continue to impress. No compromises were made.
DualSense Excellence:
The included DualSense controller remains revolutionary. Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers transform gameplay immersion in ways other controllers cannot match.
Verdict:
The PS5 Slim is now the best way to experience PlayStation 5. Smaller, larger storage, same incredible gaming. The definitive version to buy.
