PS5 slim price – how much is the new PlayStation 5 model?

If you’re in the market for one, you may be wondering how much is the PlayStation 5 Slim? Sony has officially announced a new PlayStation 5 model that’s lighter and slimmer than before. While not its official moniker, many have chosen to dub the console revision as the PS5 slim due to, well – the obvious feature of it being a little slimmer.

But does a shrink in the size of the console itself mean a reduction in cost? Sadly not – and depending on the region, it could actually mean an increase in price for some iterations of the console. Here, we’ll break down the prices as given by Sony for the new machine and its various add-ons that will be available when the PS5 slim launches in November – first in the US followed by a global rollout worldwide. We’ve also got answers if you’re wondering what GPU the PlayStation 5 has.

But as for the price? Here’s what we know.
