Sony has revealed what the PlayStation 5 looks like: and people seem to be excited. The PS5 console includes a white-and-black design to match the new controller, which as usual will be included with the console.
The PS5 stands vertically, and will include two versions. One will include a 4K Blu-ray drive. The other will be a “pure Digital Edition.” The PS5 variant without the optical drive looks substantially thinner than the regular model, thanks to the removal of the drive.

The removal of the drive should mean the digital edition of the PS5 is cheaper. Sony hasn’t mentioned pricing yet. Sony simply revealed the design during its live stream.
The company hasn’t provided any firm release date yet.
Just like the Xbox Series X, the PS5 can be placed vertically or horizontally underneath a TV. Sony has built a stand that works for either orientation. The top of the PS5 unit also appears to include vents for heat dissipation, with USB-A and USB-C ports at the front.
