But the announcement didn’t come from Sony or PlayStation. Actually it was from Microsoft itself, which thinks that its technological rival will launch this new model sometime this year and at a lower price than the original, which sounds attractive.
What Microsoft said of this system presentation was “PlayStation is still selling a less expensive digital edition for $399.99 and is expecting a PlayStation 5 Slim to be released later this year at the same reduced price.”.
We recommend: PlayStation confirms a new laptop called Project Q that connects to the PS5.
Just like that, this console manufacturer revealed it before the Federal Trade Commission of the United States. It is necessary to point out that this is not the first rumor that exists about this new model.
Insider Gaming reported last year that Sony was preparing a PS5 with a removable drive and that it would be out in September 2023. It could well be the PlayStation 5 Slim that Microsoft is talking about.
There were still rumors back then that this model would be for sale without the drive, although it could be purchased via a bundle. There were even comments that perhaps this PS5 Slim could be the default model of the system.
The idea is that players decide for themselves which drive the PlayStation 5 Plus would use and of what capacity. Currently there are only two options, the PS5 Digital Edition that costs $399 dollars, or the original that costs $499.
Microsoft is also talking about a portable version of the console priced under $300, but it’s actually referring to the device for streaming games from the same console and that’s already known.
