Sony has unveiled the updated versions of PlayStation 5 gaming consoles. The newer models feature the same specs but come in a compact body. The new model features a detachable drive. So, you can buy the Digital Edition and later add the drive as a $79.99 modular accessory to make it a disk edition.
Sony claims that the new PS5 is 30% more compact in volume and 18% and 24% lower in weight. Sony has also changed the design of removable panels. Now there are four side cover plans with the top portion in a glossy look and the bottom pans in matte.
The new PS5 also comes with a 1TB storage as opposed to 825GB on the previous model. Other Intel specs are the same.
