Sony will release a new, revised PlayStation 5 console model for the holiday season ahead, the gaming giant announced Tuesday. And unlike the previous digital and disc-based models, this single smaller model will be sold with or without the Blu-ray drive—which can be purchased separately and added later, if desired.

According to Sony, the revised PlayStation 5 console is over 30% smaller than the original model in terms of total volume, and as much as 24% lighter in terms of weight. It also has a larger 1TB internal SSD for game and data storage, up from 825GB in the original models.

Sony will sell a digital version for $450—that’s $50 more than the existing digital edition—without a disc drive, or the full-bodied model with Blu-ray drive for $500. The standard model with the disc drive will launch at the same price as the current model, but the digital edition bump means the base price for a PS5 console is rising.

But unlike the previous editions, there’s just one new PlayStation 5 console design—the disc drive is an attachment this time. So if you buy the digital-only console, you can later purchase the disc drive for $80 and snap it on to be able to play disc-based PS5 games.
