There are two variants of Sony PlayStation 5. The only difference between the two is the availability of optical drive, since the standard edition is equipped with a 4K UHD Blu-ray drive that the Digital Edition lacks.
The new Sony PlayStation 5 sports a futuristic look. Sony is right on its claim that the design is bold, stunning, and unlike any previous generation of PlayStation.
The black and white color scheme on the console matches the DualSense controller that the company showcased months ago. It is well complemented by the blue lighting effect as well.
The Standard Model is recognizable thanks to the bulge because of the incision of the disc drive. The Digital Edition doesn’t have that and is thus, less bulky.
