Buy on AmazonUnboxing the Digital Edition
You connect the HDMI cable and browse a digital game library instead of reaching for a disc.
Built for Downloads, Not Discs
This is the PS5 Digital Edition, built around an AMD Zen-based CPU, RDNA 2 graphics, 16GB GDDR6 memory, and an 825GB SSD, connecting through HDMI, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.1. This bundle has no disc drive, so it suits a digital game library.
If your games are digital purchases, a built-in disc drive is one feature you can leave out.
