Processor: AMD Zen 2, 8-core
RAM: 16 GB GDDR6
SSD: 825GB
Disc drive: None
The cheaper PS5 Digital Edition is identical to the standard PS5 in terms of internal specs and performance. It's completely disc-less though: you can only buy games for it digitally and you miss out on the joys of 4K Blu-ray viewing. Still, it's a good choice for avid gamers without the cash for the top-tier PS5.

- Cheaper than the PS5
- As powerful as the PS5
- 4K/120fps gameplay
- Lightning-fast SSD
Against
- Bulky size
- Can only play digital games
- Costs more when low stock
