The PS5 slim disc drive will be sold separately for customers who will buy the digital edition.

PS5 Storage Details

Along with relatively more internal storage, the slimmer model of PS5 now has 1TB instead of the ordinary model's 825GB custom SSD. Customers can also upgrade their PS5 slim digital edition console by adding an external UHD Blu-ray disc drive. However, the new variant's graphical and processing power are matching to those of the original PS5.
