PlayStation 5 will receive a new version in 2023

The Leak reports that their sources at Sony claim that a new version of the PlayStation 5 will be released next year. Perhaps the next revision of the console from the Japanese giant will be called PlayStation 5 Slim .

The PS5 update is due to several reasons. First, the PlayStation 5 is large enough to be difficult to carry around in a backpack, although it has an elegant design. Secondly, Sony recently increased the cost of the console by $50, which was not well received by the company's fans.

The improved layout of the console components will help to reduce its size, and can also reduce manufacturing costs. The correspondingly smaller size and price will make the PlayStation 5 even more attractive. Also, the Japanese giant is working to ensure that the console can be in an upright position without an additional stand. The start of production is scheduled for the second quarter of 2023, and the release is scheduled for the third quarter, but these dates are not final.

The PlayStation 5 was released on November 12, 2020. A number of big-name exclusives are already on the console, and God of War Ragnarök, this year's flagship PlayStation game and Game of the Year candidate, will be released tomorrow.
