Don't Worry, You Can Still Upgrade the PS5 Slim's SSD | Push Square
14.10.2023 - 09:42 / pushsquare.com / You Can
The new PS5, colloquially known as the PS5 Slim, will replace the original model next month – and its main selling point is its detachable disc drive. For Sony, this design tweak will streamline its manufacturing process – but for consumers, it’ll also provide flexibility. The remodelled machine will also come in 30 per cent smaller than its predecessor, which is a significant footprint reduction.
But as the manufacturer hadn’t mentioned it yet, some were concerned you may not be able to install an additional SSD anymore. Speaking with IGN, a spokesperson confirmed “there are no changes with the new model” – meaning, yes, you can still install your own compatible hard drive to expand the console’s available storage space.
It’s worth underlining that the new model improves on its predecessor by upping the amount of on-board storage from the unorthodox 825GB to 1TB, so you’re getting more space out of the box anyway. But considering the size of some games these days, you’re probably going to find yourself in the market for a new PS5 SSD eventually.
A true PlayStation veteran, Sammy's covered the world of PS gaming for years, with an enormous Trophy count to prove it. He also likes tennis games way more than you.
Will the new model use less power?
November is US? Rollout for the rest of the world is 'over the following months'? UK may not see the slim until early next year.
Why would I need a new SSD eventually? I don’t play dozens of games at the same time.
@thefourfoldroot1 I agree but apparently people do exactly that.
@thefourfoldroot1 Convenience for me. I often don’t know what I’m playing next until I finish my current game and find out my mood. It’s nice to have many options at that time without having to wait hours for a download. Do I replay a game I’ve already played? Do I play something new? Do I finish one of several games I put down. Personally I have a massive backlog and often I’ll just decide to play a game that might have released last gen I never got around to on a whim. Choice is good!
@thefourfoldroot1 The moment your kids start playing, the number of games installed on your HDD skyrockets ^_^
Not that I will be buying the new model, but I wonder if you can take your existing NVME SSD out of the PS5 and plug it in the new one. If the downloads are tied to the system, or the account. Would be a hassle to have to download 1TB or more of data again.
@Landstalker it will be rolled out first with Playstation Direct stores. And UK has that one.
SSD in the above picture (Samsung Pro Evo 970) is actually too slow for PS5 The 980 is good.
@themightyant
While it's possible you could move an existing PS5's NVMe drive to a new PS5, I think it's more likely that it will force you to format the

The upcoming Assassin's Creed VR game looks genuinely cool if you can keep yourself from throwing up
Part of me would love a VR headset, but the rest of me lives in a flat, which means I'm usually thankful that most VR game trailers don't do much for me. Besides Half-Life: Alyx and Superhot, there aren't many games that have me wishing I had an Index or Quest.

PS5 Slim's Digital Edition Gets a Stealth Price Increase in USA | Push Square
Sony is using the opportunity of the PS5’s smaller, slimmer relaunch to stealthily bump the price of the Digital Edition in the United States. While we already know you’ll need to pay extra for a standalone vertical stand, the organisation has also made the decision to hike the overall cost of the non-Blu-ray unit by $50. This means, moving forwards, the disc-less device will increase from an MSRP of $399.99 to $449.99.

You can still play CS:GO, at least if you consider bizarre custom servers where you fight Final Fantasy summons 'playing CS:GO'
The launch of Counter-Strike 2 has been exciting, but it comes with the disappointing caveat that, rather than succeeding CS:GO, it has completely replaced it. Well, almost completely: It's actually still possible to launch CS:GO, and will be indefinitely, although you get a very limited version that may break in the future.
