PS5 Standard vs PS5 Digital Edition: Which Sony console is better?
09.04.2024 - 09:03 / radiotimes.com
Any gamer worth their salt is sure to remember the launch of the PS5 console back in November 2020.
Midnight releases, unboxing videos on social media and the reactions of the first users were just some of the things that contributed to the huge buzz around the new console.
The timing of the launch also meant that the console was released during the COVID pandemic, which resulted in huge demand and supply chain shortages. For a while, a PS5 console was considered to be the gold dust of the gaming world.
After the release of the exciting new console, gamers were faced with a tricky decision; should they opt for the PS5 Disc Edition or PS5 Digital Edition?
This decision isn't just about looks, although that can be a major factor for anyone concerned about their setup. You also have to take functionality, convenience and personal preferences into consideration, as well as your own gaming needs.
Sounds like a lot? Well, never fear; the RadioTimes.com team are here to answer all your PS5-related questions. Whether you want to know the main differences between the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition or you're trying to find out where to buy PS5 Digital games, we've got you covered.
Buy PS5 Disk Edition for £479.99 at PlayStation Direct
Buy PS5 Digital Edition for £389.99 at PlayStation Direct
We've rounded up all the best PS5 deals this month to help you save, as well as Nintendo Switch deals and Xbox Series X deals.
While there are a few main differences between the PS5 Disc and Digital editions, they have more in common than you might think. Both consoles boast the same gaming performances, with gameplay at up to 4K resolution and up to 120 frames per second, as well as rapid load times.
Both consoles also use the same DualSense controller, which has a built-in microphone and offers haptic feedback. The PlayStation Plus subscription service also works the same way on both PS5 consoles
When it comes to the main difference between the PS5 Standard and the PS5 Digital Edition, the clue's in the name. The PS5 Standard allows you to play physical copies of PlayStation games thanks to its disc drive, while the PS5 Digital only grants you access to digital games bought through the PlayStation Store.
So, if you're a die-hard PlayStation gamer who's played the various models for a number of years and built up an impressive collection of physical games, it's worth taking this into account when deciding which PS5 model to buy.
The PS5 Standard is backward compatible with most PS4 games, however you won't be able to play PS3 games on your console.
Of course, the lack of a disc drive on the PS5 Digital Edition means that you can't play DVDs on this model, while you can enjoy 4K Blu-Ray movies on the PS5 Standard.

PS5, PC Exclusive Helldivers 2 Under 'Very Early' Discussions Over Possible Xbox Launch: Report
Helldivers 2 launched exclusively on PS5 and PC on February 8, quickly becoming a phenomenon and rising up the charts to become one of the most played games on Steam. The co-op third-person shooter, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, broke the mould a bit when it launched simultaneously on Windows alongside the PlayStation platform.
