Overview

• The European PS5 Slim Digital Edition now ships with an 825GB SSD for €499/£429, replacing the previous 1TB model at the same price.
• Usable storage measures about 667.2GB on the revised unit versus 848.0GB on the 1TB version, according to Austin Evans’ teardown.
• The refresh adopts a fully matte exterior and lighter internals, including a thinner heatsink and fan, trimming roughly 100–120 grams.
• Side-by-side checks show similar power consumption, thermals and in-game performance compared with the outgoing Slim.
• UK retailers including Argos, Smyths, John Lewis, Currys, GAME and PlayStation Direct have discounted remaining 1TB stock by up to about £100, and Sony has not confirmed availability of the 825GB model outside Europe.
