Hold onto your game controllers—Sony’s making a move that’s raising eyebrows faster than a gamer dodging a respawning enemy. Reports are swirling that the upcoming PS5 Slim Digital Edition is set to take a step back in storage, shrinking its SSD from a pretty generous 1TB back down to a now much-less-exciting 825GB.
Yes, you heard that right! How does one go from being the spunky new kid on the console block to suddenly seeming like last season’s fashion? Thankfully, the disc version will still hold steady at 1TB. But for those ride-or-die digital download fans (like me), it’s like standing in line for a rollercoaster only to find out they’ve closed half of it for maintenance.
Let’s face it, with games weighing in heavier than your aunt’s Thanksgiving turkey, this downgrade is more than a minor inconvenience. It has all the elegance of a one-legged chicken trying to cross the road.
But here’s the kicker—could reducing the storage of the digital edition be Sony’s way of avoiding another price hike? Or are they just trying to see how much they can get away with before we all collectively scream? Either way, it’s going to leave a lot of us asking, ‘Is the slim really worth it?’
So, gamers—are you ready to battle this battle of storage wars? Or is it time to call out Sony for pulling a fast one? Let us know your thoughts!
