- Sony has announced a PlayStation 5 refresh, just in time for the 2023 holiday season.
- The standard and Digital Edition have been slimmed down, but Sony is not calling it a PlayStation 5 Slim.
- The consoles have more storage, a detachable disc drive, and a slight change in pricing.
Back in November 2020, Sony first unveiled the PlayStation 5 gaming console. Since then, aside from some new colors and bundles, the console has remained unchanged. However, today, Sony is refreshing the look of the PS5 while simultaneously introducing a few important changes.
First, this is not a PlayStation 5 Slim, at least not by name. Sony is simply calling this PlayStation 5 refresh the “new” PS5. It will replace the current design when stock runs out of the previous models.
