Though the refreshed PS5 says it comes with 825GB on the box, Evan found that the console only has 667.2GB of usable storage due to the operating system and other apps included with the console. Meanwhile, the older, digital-only version of the console with a 1TB SSD has 848GB of usable storage.
Aside from the storage change, the updated PS5 comes with a new matte finish, along with smaller components that make it about 100 grams lighter than its predecessor. Sony hasn’t provided a reason for the change, but its recent post about raising prices cites a “challenging economic environment.” There’s still no word on whether this updated console will launch outside Europe.
