The Slim Standard Edition (CFI-2000 disc model) includes a detachable Ultra HD Blu-ray™ drive for physical PS5/PS4 games and 4K movie playback

Inside, the PS5 Slim uses an 8-core AMD Ryzen “Zen 2” CPU and an AMD RDNA 2 GPU delivering up to 10.28 TFLOPS of graphics performance, paired with 16GB GDDR6 unified memory. This hardware enables smooth gameplay at up to 4K 120Hz, plus support for ray tracing, variable refresh rate (VRR) and HDR on compatible TVs and monitors.

The built-in 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD drastically reduces load times compared to previous generations, and you can further expand storage using a compatible PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD in the internal expansion slot, allowing you to keep more large PS5 titles installed at once.

Sony’s DualSense controller features adaptive triggers and advanced haptic feedback, allowing games to simulate sensations such as weapon recoil, driving on different surfaces, or the tension of drawing a bowstring. Combined with the PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech and Dolby Atmos support on compatible setups, the PlayStation 5 Slim Standard Edition delivers highly immersive gameplay.

Connectivity includes an HDMI 2.1 port, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.1, USB-A and USB-C ports, plus Ethernet. The console is largely backward compatible with most PS4 titles, letting you play a huge library of older games—many with enhanced frame rates or resolutions on PS5.
