Alleged PS5 Slim design will get bemused response By Daniel Piper revealed 14 August 23 “From PlayStation Thiccc to PlayStation Thicc.”

Rumours concerning the so-called PS5 Slim have been doing the rounds just about for the reason that launch of the PS5 itself. And doubtless for good cause – the latter is so gargantuan that players have been crying out for a extra svelte tackle the design. But when it appears to be like something like these new leaked photographs purporting to point out the brand new console, followers is likely to be disillusioned.

Photos began circulating this weekend of a brand new console case, catchily codenamed ‘CFI-2016’. And it appears to be like moderately quite a bit like, er, the present PS5. In contrast to Sony’s earlier ‘Slim’ variations of PlayStation consoles, it appears the PS5 iteration will not be straying removed from the unique method. (Do not fancy ready? Take a look at the very best PS5 offers out there now.)

As noticed by The Verge, photographs of the alleged outer casing for the brand new mannequin appeared on Chinese language boards earlier than a video appeared on the Twitter web page for an Australian PlayStation restore specialist (beneath).

However whereas it actually appears to be like a little bit smaller and lighter (we would have bother waving our personal PS5 round one-handed like that), there is not any denying that the design appears to be like just about the identical because the much-mocked PS5 itself, with the addition of a black horizontal stripe on the entrance of the case, and an additional USB-C port. We have already heard that the following iteration of the PS5 will characteristic a removable disk drive, and it appears this may very well be it.
