Sony revealed the brand new PS5 Slim today. While an exact release date hasn’t been revealed, Sony is timing the console’s launch with the holidays.
The refreshed console will be available starting in November, and will come with a 1TB SSD, making the smaller model slightly roomier when it comes to storage.
Both an all-digital and Blu-ray version of the new model will be available, though you can opt to add the Blu-ray later for $79.99.
