Weight loss for the PS5
The changes made to the PS5 are probably internal, as the only change observed is the weight of the console: the classic now weighs 3.9 kg and the Digital Edition 3.4 kg, more than 200 g less for each model.

Faced with inflation, the gaming giant recently announced a price increase for its latest console.
