It seems that we are not far from the reveal date of the new PS5 Slim, and even the release date, which is believed to be during this year 2023.

There have been many rumors about Sony's intention to launch a smaller version of the PlayStation 5 that will be less expensive to produce and cheaper, so that it replaces the current model that offers two versions at varying prices.

Today we have host Shpeshal Nick from xboxera.com (via TCMFGames) who said he had obtained information that Sony intends to reveal the PS5 Slim in August (8), through a new PlayStation Show event.

Perhaps Nick's statements coincide with some of the previous rumors that have reached us from other media outlets that have confirmed that Sony and Nintendo still have one Showcase event remaining during this year. While we already have one Nintendo event, we are still waiting for Sony to announce a new PlayStation Showcase event for the rest of this year.

The rumors and leaks didn't stop there, as some sources have said that Sony intends to launch the PS5 Slim in global markets in September this year. While Microsoft revealed through private documents during its legal battle with the FTC that Sony intends to launch a mini version of the PlayStation 5 priced at $ 399.99 before the end of this year.

Furthermore, according to the usual leaks and rumors, some important media sources have said that the new device will not contain a disc drive, which will be put on the market as a separate accessory that the user can purchase at will. The sad news here is that this drive will not be compatible with the digital version of the current PlayStation 5 device, but the source indicated that this may change in the future.

We return to our famous phrase about the existence of the PS5 Slim, which is (There is no smoke without fire..It seems the fire has reached levels that many can see from afar. Sony has no choice but to announce the device as soon as possible.

As for our advice to players who are planning to buy a PlayStation 5, it is not to rush to buy and wait longer, at least until the confirmation of the presence of the PS5 Slim, perhaps next month, according to the latest rumors.
