It's official: Sony is releasing the PlayStation 5 Slim on November 8. Although this information doesn't come from a new and official announcement, the source is as legitimate as they come. Those eager to get their hands on the slimmer take on Sony's flagship console won't have to wait long to get their hands on it.
This leak about the PS5 Slim comes from Billbil-kun, who, in the past, has been behind the early PlayStation Plus lineup revelations. Reporting on the French website Dealabs, the insider claims that the PS5 Slim standard edition sold as part of a bundle with Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 will launch in the U.S. on November 8, bearing a price tag of $559.99. Intriguingly, this is the same price as the existing standard edition PS5 paired with Spider-Man 2.
However, the narrative unfolds a bit more: Billbil-kun suggests a November 10 release date for both the standard and digital versions of the PS5 Slim in the U.S. This leads to speculation that Sony may have a staggered release strategy planned, offering the Spider-Man 2 bundle slightly ahead of the standalone launch of the new console.
