Reports Say Sony Will Cut PS5 Slim Digital Edition Storage to 825GB in Europe

Insider accounts describe a cost-saving step to keep the Digital Edition near €499 in Europe.

Overview

  • Multiple European outlets cite leaker billbil-kun and aggregator reports that a revised PS5 Slim Digital Edition will revert to an 825GB SSD from 1TB.
  • The change is reported to be EU-only for now with sales penciled in for around 13 September, and Sony has not confirmed any details.
  • Pricing is said to remain about €499 for the Digital Edition, while the disc version would reportedly keep its 1TB drive and current price.
  • Coverage frames the move as shrinkflation intended to avoid another price hike in response to higher manufacturing costs and tariffs.
  • Reports mention a new hardware revision identified as Chassis E with model CFI-2116, and retailers may continue selling existing 1TB units until stock runs out.
