Sony is yet to announce an actual release date for the new, slimmer PS5 model, unofficially dubbed the ‘PS5 Slim.’ But someone has managed to get their hands on the console and has posted pictures of the new PS5 to social media.
The photos of the PS5 Slim were posted to X by Zuby_tech who credits @phantompainss as the original source of the photos.
As one X/Twitter user pointed out, the position of the HDMI port has changed. When stood vertically the port is now at the top of the PS5 Slim. The ports have essentially been flipped on the PS5 Slim it seems.

PS5 Slim Launch
The PS5 Slim is expected to be available this month in the U.S. and possibly Japan. It will be available from select retailers and from PlayStation Direct. Sony has not specifically said when the PS5 Slim will be available in the UK or Europe only that “It will continue to roll out globally in the following months.”
The new PS5 model was rumoured to launch on November 8th with a Spider-Man 2 bundle. But as we are getting pretty close to that date with no word from Sony, the rumoured date may not be accurate.
However, it does look like the PS5 Slim will be bundled with Modern Warfare 3, as as the bundle’s box has already been spotted on a retailer’s shelf.
