Overview

• A teardown by YouTuber Austin Evans verifies the revised digital-only PS5 ships with an 825GB SSD offering 667.2GB usable, down from 848.0GB on the previous model.
• The console adopts an all-matte exterior and cheaper, lighter internals—including a thinner metal heat sink and lighter fan—cutting weight by roughly 100–120g versus the prior slim.
• Power consumption, thermals, and performance appear similar to the previous slim model despite the internal cost-saving changes.
• The revised unit is now on sale in Europe, replacing the earlier digital edition, and Sony has not confirmed if this version will be offered in the US.
• The storage cut reverses the first slim’s move to 1TB, reducing capacity on a download-only console without a corresponding price reduction.
