The PS5 is a terrific video game console due to its raw power and vast library of first- and third-party games. It’s also one of the biggest and bulkiest systems ever released — as anyone who owns one can attest. Thankfully, the PS5 Slim (as it’s unofficially called) is here to replace its humongous predecessor.
As you may have guessed, the PS5 Slim is smaller and lighter. It’s still a big system but much easier to store. The redesigned console is also more modular, making it simpler to swap out its SSD drive and snap off its faceplates. You can even attach and detach the optical disc drive. Standing the system vertically isn’t as dangerous as before, though you’ll need to buy a separate $30 stand for better stability. The PS5 Slim also has more storage.
