PlayStation 5 Digital Edition

We have come to expect improved graphics with every new gaming console generation, and the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition doesn't disappoint. An ultra-high-speed SSD comes with 835GB of storage and delivers near-instant load times. What's more, the powerful new PCIe 4.0 interface brings decompressed data transfer speeds of up to 5.5GB/sec and a staggering 9GB/sec for uncompressed data. In practice, this means that your games launch almost instantly, and you can switch between several active games in a flash.

PlayStation 5 Digital Edition also scores plenty of points for its immersive Tempest 3D AudioTech soundscapes that help your surroundings come alive in supported games. A key benefit is that you don't need expensive headphones or multiple speakers to enjoy it fully—a decent smart TV is enough.

More than 20 new games have already been announced for PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, including highly anticipated titles Horizon Zero Dawn 2:Forbidden West, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Gran Turismo 7 and Resident Evil Village.

Don't worry, there's not going to be a repeat of the PlayStation 4 launch fiasco. The new PlayStation 5 Digital Edition supports around 100 of the best games from the older generation console, with the number set to increase over time. Of course, you can also watch movies from Blu-ray discs and play in virtual reality with PlayStation VR.
