Sony Group Corp. has unveiled a slimmer, lighter PlayStation 5 with detachable disc drive, in a bid to juice sales over the holiday season.

It’s the first major update to the current generation console, which launched in November 2020.

In a blog post, Sony said the new slimmed-down machine had been “reduced in volume by more than 30%” and would ship with 1TB SSD storage.

The new twist with the incoming PS5 model is that you can effectively buy the cheaper digital-only version of the console as before — but now it comes with the added option of upgrading it with a Blu-ray drive add-on.

The two new consoles — with and without disc drive — will go on sale in November, priced at $500 and $450 in the US; £480 and £390 in the UK; and ¥67,000 yen and ¥60,000 yen in Japan.

The release comes following the launch earlier this year of a new high-end customizable DualSense Edge controller.
