With the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 just around the corner, the slimmer PS5 cannot have a better launch window. The console giants have already faced a lot of criticism due to their lack of planning in the heated console rivalry. The slim PS5 could be the much-awaited turnaround the developers need. The estimations around the upcoming modified console have already made it a hot trend in the console market. Now, in the latest piece of news, a credible leaker shared a picture claiming it to be the first-ever picture of the upcoming PS5 Slim.
Sony followed up each PlayStation console it introduced throughout the years with a smaller-sized version of the device. Both the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation 4 are compatible with it. However, a smaller-sized edition is more of a practical consideration when it comes to the PlayStation 5. Andrew Marmo, a user, shared a picture of the hardware, claiming it to be the first-ever public glimpse of the product.
