Specifications & Features

Slim and Modern Design

The PS5 Slim contains the performance of the original PS5 in a body that is more than 30% smaller by volume. Its four-panel exterior combines glossy upper sections with matte lower panels for a distinctive PlayStation appearance.

Design features include:

• Compact PS5 form factor
• More than 30% reduction in volume
• Four removable cover panels
• Glossy and matte exterior finish
• Horizontal mounting feet included
• Optional vertical stand sold separately
• Replaceable console-cover options

The Disc Edition measures approximately 358 × 96 × 216mm and weighs around 3.2kg. The Digital Edition is slightly thinner and lighter because it does not include a built-in disc drive.

Powerful Gaming Performance

The console uses an eight-core, sixteen-thread AMD Ryzen Zen 2 processor with speeds of up to 3.5GHz. It is paired with an RDNA 2-based graphics engine capable of approximately 10.3 teraflops.

Performance specifications include:

• Eight-core AMD Zen 2 CPU
• Sixteen processing threads
• CPU speed of up to 3.5GHz
• AMD RDNA 2-based GPU
• Approximately 10.3-teraflop graphics performance
• 16GB GDDR6 memory
• 448GB/s memory bandwidth
• Hardware-accelerated ray tracing

This combination provides smooth performance, detailed lighting and realistic visual effects in compatible games.

Ultra-High-Speed SSD

The 1TB SSD significantly reduces loading times compared with conventional hard drives. Games can load levels and detailed environments quickly, allowing players to spend more time gaming and less time waiting.

Storage features include:

• 1TB built-in SSD
• Raw read speed of up to 5.5GB/s
• Fast game and level loading
• M.2 NVMe SSD expansion slot
• External USB storage support
• Efficient game-data management

Some of the internal capacity is reserved for system software, meaning the usable space is lower than the advertised 1TB.

4K Gaming and Up to 120fps

The PS5 Slim supports gaming at resolutions of up to 4K. When connected to a compatible television or monitor, selected games can run at frame rates of up to 120fps.

Visual features include:

• HDR support
• Variable Refresh Rate
• HDMI 2.1 connectivity
• High-frame-rate gaming
• Detailed textures and environments

Actual resolution and frame rate depend on the game, selected graphics mode and display capabilities.

Ray-Tracing Technology

Ray tracing simulates the behaviour of light to produce more realistic reflections, shadows and environmental lighting.

Supported games can use ray tracing to create:

• Realistic reflections
• Improved shadows
• Natural lighting effects
• Detailed surfaces
• More immersive environments

Players may need to choose between a higher-quality graphics mode and a higher-frame-rate performance mode in some games.

DualSense Wireless Controller

Every standard PS5 Slim package includes a DualSense wireless controller. Its haptic feedback and adaptive triggers provide physical sensations that respond to compatible in-game actions.

Controller features include:

• Haptic feedback
• Dynamic adaptive triggers
• Built-in microphone
• Integrated speaker
• Motion sensors
• Create button
• USB Type-C charging

Audio features include:

• Positional audio
• Headphone support
• Compatible television-speaker support
