Except that the PS5 exists success in sales According to the latest data obtained from the console, the truth is that Sony intends to further increase the good momentum that the platform has received since its launch according to various strategies. And, in fact, the one that was announced today with great fanfare is related to several rumors that arose a few months ago and which eventually became a reality: a new PS5 model with a removable disc reader.
However; The truth is that Sony did not name this model “neat” as such, but since its purpose is to reduce the size of the original model and that the company repeated the same move with its previous consoles, it doesn’t make sense that we don’t call it with the same name. Be that as it may, below I leave you what this model will be, what its specifications are, how much it will cost and when it will be released. Let’s go trouble.
What is the new 2023 PS5 Slim model?
