Distinguished insider Tom Henderson had this to say about the rumors: ps5 slim It may not end up being a slim version of the console. Henderson, who first leaked his revision of the upcoming hardware, never suggested it would be a thinner version of the launch model, but reports still continue to mention a “PS5 Slim.”
PS5 Slim could have ‘slightly different dimensions’
Henderson claims to have seen prototypes of the revamped PS5, and based on what he’s seen, believes the new hardware will feature “slightly different dimensions” at best. A dev kit for the new PS5 model was reportedly delivered to the game developer earlier this year.
As far as the release date goes, Henderson backs up his reports that the revamped PS5 will hit the market in September, and we expect it to be announced soon. “I tend to believe that it will simply be called the PS5 and branded as an improved model,” Henderson wrote, doubling down on his own claims that the new PS5 will completely replace the launch model.
Earlier this month, the PS5 console was discounted in many countries across Europe and elsewhere, sparking speculation that Sony was making room for a revised model.
