Originally released at the end of last year as the digital-only version of the PS5 - meaning it doesn’t take up loads of space with a disc drive - this console gives you 1TB of storage built-in, with an ultra-high speed SSD to make sure games load as quickly and crisply as possible.
All you have to do is sign into your PlayStation account and head to the online store, where you can buy and download games - ranging from classics like The Last of Us, to new releases (like Monster Hunter Wilds, which is available to preorder ahead of its February 28 release date).
ThePlayStation 5 Digital Editionhas an average of 4.9 stars from nearly 600 reviews, with one shopper raving: “Great product the slim version looks beautiful!”

“I have held off buying one for a while but so glad I did. Unreal graphics and speeds,” said another. While a third noted how space-efficient it is, writing: “The PS digital edition is a great console and the new design saves some space on the shelf too.”
However, everyone’s opinions are different, and one gamer said: “It’s not that much better than the PS4, no.” Another held issue with the fact it’s digital-only, writing: “Need to purchase a device with built in disc if you want to use your old disc.”
If you did want a PlayStation console with a disc drive included, you could go all-in on Sony’s most advanced console:the PS5 Pro, which costs £699.99. If an Xbox is more your speed, you can get theSeries X model for the cut price of £460 at Currys, down from £479.
But for all the bells and whistles of a PS5 in a space-saving model, you can’t go far wrong with thePlayStation 5 Digital Edition - Slim, which is just over £300 on Argos in the lead-up to Black Friday.
