Sony PS5 Slim will reportedly launch on November 10, Spiderman 2 bundled detailed

The gaming community is abuzz with the leaked details about the forthcoming slimmer and lighter mid-generation refresh of PlayStation 5 (PS5). According to a trustworthy tipster, Billbil kun, the new consoles will hit the American markets on November 10 before expanding to other regions.

The launch seems to be a strategically timed move by Sony to tap into the holiday season fervor, boosting its already impressive console sales.

Exclusive Bundle Release with Marvel's Spider Man 2

Adding intrigue to the launch, Sony is expected to release an exclusive bundle of the new PS5 variant with the recently launched Marvel's Spider Man 2 on November 8.

The bundle will cost $559.99, which is equal to the current standard edition bundle cost and will likely include a digital voucher for the game and a themed controller.

What's new with the PS5 Slim?

The new slim PS5 model, announced last week, is billed as being 30 percent smaller than the original PS5, and considerably lighter too. The design boasts a glossy top, matte bottom, and a stylish black streak.

Two versions will be available - a Digital Edition and another one with a detachable Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive. On the hardware end, the consoles mirror their predecessor in processing power and graphics capabilities.

However, an upgrade has been made to the internal storage, jumping from an 825GB SSD to a 1TB SSD. It is worth noting that once Sony sells the entire stock of its standard PS5 models, only the slim versions will be available for purchase.

Sony PS5 Availability

Japanese merchants, including Amazon's regional site, have reportedly opened pre-orders for the PS5 Slim slated for a November 10 debut. Sony has already sold 40 million PS5 units worldwide as of July and are allegedly expecting to surpass that with sales of the refreshed variant.

The current standard PS5 disc edition in India is priced at Rs. 54,990, whereas the Digital Edition is offered at Rs. 44,990. Both editions are presently available across both online and brick-and-mortar stores across the country.

Sony is ramping up the competition in the Console Market

With the anticipated launch of the PS5 Slim, Sony seems poised to further intensify the competition in the gaming console market. This new iteration promises to satiate gaming enthusiasts' cravings for an advanced, lighter, and neater console.

Moreover, with the alleged exclusive Spider Man 2 package on offer, gamers might find it an irresistible proposition. The future looks exhilarating, with Sony's unwavering commitment to innovation and gamer satisfaction.
