\nInstead, they simply weigh less than the original versions Sony released back in 2020 and the updated models from 2021. We\u2019re not talking about a small amount either. Based on the details, Sony cut the weight of each version of the PS5 by a pretty sizeable amount.
\nEach new PS5 model
\nThe PS5 Digital Edition reportedly now weighs 200 grams less than the updated 2021 version. And the Disc Edition now weighs 300 grams less. Compared to the original launch versions of the console, that\u2019s 500 grams less and 600 grams less respectively. That\u2019s an entire pound shaved off each version. Which may not sound like a lot but it definitely makes a difference with a piece of tech.
\nWhile some consumers can\u2019t wait for a PS5 Pro that\u2019s more powerful, a lighter PS5 is certainly worth recognition. The PS5 is a hefty machine and definitely Sony\u2019s largest so far. And it\u2019s unlikely that anyone is going to argue that Sony\u2019s chonker of a console could stand to lose a bit of weight.
\nSony probably knows this too, which is why it\u2019s releasing these new versions. As for how Sony is making the PS5 lighter, it\u2019s probably swapping out parts for variations made with lighter materials. That being said, whatever parts were swapped could also have a positive impact on other functions on the console. Even if they\u2019re only small changes. Right now these updated versions of the PS5 may not be everywhere yet.
\nBut if you\u2019re waiting to get a PS5, then you may have the chance to get one of these lighter models with the next restock. Interestingly, this reduction in weight comes just as Sony begins to raise the price of the PS5 in most regions outside the US.
