PlayStation 5 Slim (CFI-2000) (2023)

Sony's slimmer redesign of the PS5 packs all the same connectivity into a 30% smaller chassis, with one notable upgrade: the front USB-A port is replaced by a second USB-C port. Both rear USB-A ports run at SuperSpeed 10 Gbps, making them ideal for external SSD storage. The single HDMI 2.1 output supports 4K@120Hz with VRR and ALLM for gaming, plus eARC for high-quality audio passthrough to a soundbar or receiver. Gigabit Ethernet is built in for lag-free online play.
