The Highly Anticipated PlayStation 5 Slim: What to Expect

A new video circulating online has given us a potential glimpse of the rumored PlayStation 5 Slim, a smaller version of Sony’s current-gen console that has been the subject of much speculation. Rumors of a sleeker and slimmer PS5 have been swirling around for about a year, but the anticipation reached new heights in July when court documents from the Microsoft v. FCC hearing seemed to confirm its existence. According to these documents, the PS5 Slim is expected to retail at $400 and could hit the market later this year.

Baldur's Gate 3 improvements patch PC fixes PS5 RPG Video Games Xbox Series X|S
PS5 players will benefit from Baldur’s Gate 3’s PC fixes

A developer from Larian Studios has confirmed that Baldur’s Gate 3’s PS5 release will include all of the patches and fixes enjoyed by the PC version. In a Tweet from Larian’s director of publishing Michael Douse, it was confirmed that the PS5 version of Baldur’s Gate 3 will include all of the patches and fixes we’ve seen for the PC version so far. The PS5 version of the game is set to release September 6, so PlayStation users will have a month’s worth of patches and improvements to enjoy once the game finally reaches Sony’s console. Speaking on the topic, Douse stated unambiguously that “all of the improvements and fixes to the game will be reflected in the PlayStation 5 version and beyond.” This also bodes well for those waiting for a release on Xbox Series X|S which, though lacking a concrete release date, remains very much on the cards for Baldur’s Gate 3 once the developers overcome certain technical hurdles.
