PlayStation 5 Slim Design Leaked? Here's A Sneak Peek At Sony's Next Console

A leaked online video appeared to reveal a potential PlayStation 5 Slim, a smaller version of Sony Group Corp's SONY current-generation console that has been rumored for about a year.

Recent court documents presented by Microsoft Corp MSFT during the FTC trial against the acquisition of Activision Blizzard Inc ATVI supported the existence of the Slim model, suggesting it might cost $400 and could be released later in 2023.

The video, seen by The Verge and first published in a Chinese forum, showcased a slimmer design with a detachable disk drive and two USB-C ports on the front, unlike the current model, which only has one as well as a USB-A port.

According to Kotaku, rumors also indicated two purchase options: a console without the attached disk drive and a bundle including it.

Moreover, Sony might potentially discontinue the current models and transition to the Slim version as its main offering, allowing customers to purchase the disk drive separately.
