The PS5 Slim is launching soon. The slimline revision will bring slightly more powerful and efficient hardware while being cheaper than the original $500 PS5 disc edition that debuted in 2020. This makes it a solid option for anyone who wants to buy a Sony console today.
In the Microsoft vs. FTC court trials earlier this year, Sony claimed a PS5 Slim is in the works and will be launched later this year. However, it still isn't known when the console will hit shelves. Sony has been tight-lipped about the next PS5 outside of these court hearings.
In this article, we will go over the leaks and speculations about the launch window of the upcoming PS5 Slim console. Do note that none of this is official info, and they might change with time depending on what the Japanese tech juggernaut decides. Therefore, take the information with a grain of salt.

When will the PS5 Slim launch?
A lot of predictions and speculations have surrounded the possible launch window of the slimline revision of the PlayStation 5. However, we don't believe the console will arrive anytime before the Holidays. Sony usually sticks to a November launch for their consoles to sell the maximum units during the spending season.
So, while many reports have claimed a September or an October launch window, it's unlikely to expect the mid-cycle refresh to the ninth-generation console to hit shelves anytime before November 2023. However, the console might be officially announced sometime soon.
Sony also announced its Project Q earlier this year. The unique handheld accessory to the PlayStation 5 allows gamers to stream their favorite games from the console to a more portable and convenient handheld device. Project Q could possibly launch alongside the PS5 Slim (and be sold as a bundle to attract initial sales).
Recently, the PS5 Slim was pictured online, indicating that an announcement date could be near. The anticipation for this upcoming console, and the upgrades and improvements it could bring, is understandably high.
