FAQs

What is the main difference between the PS5 Slim Digital Edition and the standard PS5?

The primary difference is that the Digital Edition does not have a disc drive, meaning all games and media must be downloaded digitally from the PlayStation Store. The 'Slim' models also feature a more compact design.

Can I play physical PS4 or PS5 games on this console?

No, this is the Digital Edition, which lacks a disc drive. You cannot play physical disc-based games. You can, however, play digital PS4 games that you own.

How much storage does the PS5 Slim Digital Edition have?

The console comes with an 825 GB internal SSD. A portion of this storage is used by the system software.

Is a vertical stand included with the console?

No, a vertical stand is sold separately for the PS5 Slim Digital Edition.

Can I add more storage to the console?

Yes, you can expand storage by downloading compatible PS5 M.2 SSDs that meet the required specifications, or by using compatible external USB storage for PS4 games and for storing PS5 games (though PS5 games must be transferred back to the internal SSD or M.2 SSD to be played).

Does it support 4K gaming?

Yes, the PS5 Slim Digital Edition supports 4K resolution output for compatible games and content, provided you have a 4K-compatible display.

What is the warranty period?

Warranty information can vary by region. Please refer to the product documentation or Sony Interactive Entertainment's official website for specific warranty details applicable to your location.

Troubleshooting

Check your internet connection speed. Pause and resume the download. Restart the console. Ensure there is enough free space on the SSD.
