Sony May Release PS5 Slim Model on November 10: Get the Facts Here
Earlier this month, Sony introduced slimmer versions of the PS5 to the world. The updated models offer the same graphical fidelity and gaming performance, but in a smaller form factor. More specifically, the volume is reduced by more than 30% and the weight by 18% and 24%.
Sony announced that both disc and digital versions will be released later this year in November, in time for the holiday season. However, they did not give an exact release date. Now, a report from Billbill-kun, known for predicting free PS Plus games ahead of the official reveal, now suggests that Sony’s new console versions will be released on November 10th.
The report also mentions Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 bundle, which is set to release two days earlier on November 8th.
While this is just a rumor at this point and should be taken with a grain of salt, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Sony launch the console on the said date. As for the console itself, the price of the disc version remains the same at $499, but the digital model now costs $449. In addition, Sony has added the option to include a 4K Blu-ray disc drive in the digital model. The new model also comes with a default 1TB SSD, replacing the previous 825GB SSD drive.
Also, unlike the original PS5 which had two panels, the new model has four separate cover panels. The top panels have a glossy finish, while the two bottom panels have a matte finish – similar to the outgoing model.
In related news, Sony has just released Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 exclusively for the PlayStation 5 console, featuring both Spider-Men—Peter Parker and Miles Morales facing off against several arch-enemies including Kraven the Hunter, Sandman, Lizard, and of course, Venom.
