Sony to Introduce PS5 Slim Model According to Court Documents
During recent proceedings related to the Blizzard acquisition, court documents submitted to the Federal Trade Commission and Microsoft hearings have unveiled an intriguing revelation for gaming enthusiasts.
The documents indicate that Sony, the industry giant, is planning to unveil a new model of their popular gaming console, the PlayStation 5 (PS5), later this year. Dubbed the PS5 Slim (tentative name), this hardware revision is rumored to be released as a digital edition version, priced at $399.99.
This move aligns with Sony’s previous strategy of gradually introducing slim versions of their consoles after the initial release. As such, it was to be expected that the PS5 would also follow this roadmap.
Furthermore, speculations have been rife regarding the release of a PS5 model that includes a disc drive. The possibility of this edition being presented as the PS5 slim model is gaining traction.
However, there is a segment of users who express some dissatisfaction with the performance of the latest games. While a slim version is welcomed, many avid gamers are keen to see the pro version released first.
If the rumors hold true, the PS5 slim model is expected to hit the market by the end of this year, at the earliest. Meanwhile, Sony is simultaneously working on a new handheld device called Project Q, which focuses on remote play. This indicates that gamers can look forward to an exciting lineup of new Sony PlayStation hardware options in the near future.
