Microsoft said in a document submitted at the FTC hearing, expected Sony will later this year will be the PS5 digital version of the same price point to release the PlayStation 5 Slim, that is, 399.99 U.S. dollars.
According to Shpeshal Nick, co-founder of the gaming blog XboxEra, Sony PlayStation may hold a PlayStation Show in August where it plans to announce the PS5 Slim.
In addition to this, Colin Moriarty’s source also noted that Sony will be holding a new PlayStation Showcase later this year, and Mr. Bao, the director of the game production at PlayStation China, has also said that there will be another “showcase” event later this year.
Based on previous rumors, this PS5 Slim is likely to be the same PS5 that was rumored to have a removable optical drive, and @Tom Henderson has said that Sony is working on a slightly revised PS5, which is expected to launch around September 2023, and that it will offer a removable optical drive. This new console will offer a removable optical drive that connects to the console via an additional USB-C connector on the back of the console, which doesn’t appear to be compatible with the existing digital PS5.
Earlier it was revealed that Sony’s Playstation 5 would get a smaller redesigned version this year, but it may not be called the PS5 Slim, which is a significant change in appearance, with the new “slim” version downsizing the console’s mold and using less voltage so it runs cooler and lighter. It’s also lighter.
In addition, for Sony’s upcoming Project Q streaming handheld, Microsoft predicts that its price will be less than $300.
