The newly launched PS5 Slim is about to be discounted by Rs 5,000 during the PlayStation Summer Sale, as revealed by industry insider Rishi Alwani on his social media page. The sale sees the PS5 Slim being priced at exactly the price of the PS5 when it first launched in India all the way back in 2020. The new PlayStation 5 Slim models offer a much lighter form factor with removable disc trays. The PS5 Slim has been received generally positively, with many in the industry as well as fans preferring the significantly smaller form factor without any compromise in terms of raw performance of the console.

PlayStation 5 Slim to Get Major Discount During Upcoming Summer Sale

As mentioned in Alwani's Thread, the PlayStation 5 Slim models will be available at a 'promotional price' of Rs. 49,990 on various retailer websites such as Amazon, Blinkit, Croma, Flipkart, Reliance Digital, Sony Center, and Vijay Sales. Alongside these websites, one can also look for the PS5 Slim on more retailer websites.  The original price for the PS5 Slim is Rs. 54,990. However, the upcoming sale will deliver an enormous discount. For those who have missed out on the previous sales on PS5, this will be the perfect opportunity to grab the Slim version. 

Alwani's post stated that the Summer Sale offer on the PS5 Slim will commence on May 1, 2024, and will last until May 14, 2024. The sale may end before, depending on the retailer's stocks. Sony and PlayStation India often host such sales as they have given various discounts on their PS5 consoles in the past.

These discounts have also included sales on bundles and equipment for the PS5. With the upcoming Summer Sale offer, however, it is yet to be seen if the PS5 Slim discounts extend to any bundles. The PlayStation 5 Slim features the same performance as the regular PlayStation 5, however, with a few more features. The Slim edition is about 30% smaller than the regular edition and has a few Gigabytes (GB) of more storage than its predecessor. Overall, it can be a superior pick for gamers looking for a compact console that delivers the same powerful CPU and GPU performance as the regular PS5.
