A new PS5 is apparently out, and as was the case last year, there is one big difference noticed so far: it weighs less.
The Digital and Disc PS5 have new versions available in Australia, according to a report from Press Start Monday. Paperwork for the updated consoles shows the weight is lower by 200 grams for the digital and 300 grams for the disc version. There could be other internal changes that won’t be known until this new PS5 is torn down.
Sony released its first updated PS5 again in Australia first this same month last year with slightly less weight and a new base screw. This means since its launch in 2020, the digital PS5 dropped 500 grams while the disc version is down by 600 grams. There were initial concerns last year that the smaller heatsink on the updated console led to it running hotter, but further tests showed that was not the case.
Last week, Sony revealed a new PS5 customizable controller but didn’t provide details of when it comes out or the price. The PlayStation maker also increased the price of the console in markets across the globe with the exception being the US.
Sony didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
