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.
