How Much Does a PS5 Weigh? | Current Models Compared

A current PS5 weighs 6.8 lb with a disc drive or 5.5 lb as the Digital Edition; PS5 Pro weighs about 6.9 lb.

The PS5 has shed more than three pounds since launch, so how much a PS5 weighs depends on the model number on the console. Sony’s current CFI-2100 models weigh about 6.8 pounds with the disc drive and 5.5 pounds as the Digital Edition.

Older PS5 consoles are noticeably heavier. The launch disc model weighed about 9.9 pounds, followed by lighter CFI-1100 and CFI-1200 revisions before Sony introduced the smaller CFI-2000 design. If you are checking a shelf limit, planning a move, or buying a carrying case, the model group gives you a more useful number than one generic PS5 weight.

Which PS5 Model Is Lightest?

The current PS5 Digital Edition in the CFI-2100 family is the lightest standard PS5 at about 2.5 kg, or 5.5 lb. The current disc-drive model is about 3.1 kg, or 6.8 lb, while the current PS5 Pro is also about 3.1 kg and is listed at 6.9 lb in Sony’s U.S. safety guide.

The detachable disc drive is the main hardware difference behind the gap between the two current standard models. Sony lists the standalone PS5 Disc Drive at about 600 g, or 1.32 lb, but use the assembled console specification instead of adding accessory weights to calculate a console’s mass.

Why PS5 Weight Changed Across Revisions

PS5 weight fell as Sony revised the internal hardware and later moved to a smaller chassis. Sony’s 2023 CFI-2000 redesign cut console volume by more than 30% compared with the preceding design, while the disc and Digital models also became lighter.

The CFI-2100 revision trims another 100 g from each standard CFI-2000 model. Sony’s current CFI-2100 instruction manual lists the disc console at 3.1 kg (6.8 lb), the Digital Edition at 2.5 kg (5.5 lb), and a DualSense wireless controller at 280 g (9.9 oz).

The model number is the clearest identifier because consoles sold under the same general PS5 family name can belong to different revisions. Current U.S. retail listings identify the standard console and Digital Edition as CFI-2100 models, while used listings may include CFI-2000 or earlier hardware.

PS5 Weight By Model: Current And Older Revisions

PS5 mass ranges from about 5.5 lb for the current Digital Edition to about 9.9 lb for the launch disc model. The table below uses Sony’s published console masses, including the U.S. pound figures where Sony provides them.

How Much Weight Should You Plan To Carry?

Console weight is only part of the load if the PS5 is going into a backpack, travel case, or shipping box. A DualSense wireless controller adds about 9.9 oz, and cables, a stand, games, protective padding, and the bag or case add more weight.

Retail shipping weight is not a substitute for console mass. Store listings can include packaging and bundled accessories, so use Sony’s console specification when checking a shelf rating or comparing hardware revisions.

What The Weight Difference Feels Like In Practice

The largest drop is between the launch disc PS5 and the current standard disc model: about 3.1 pounds. That difference matters when you lift the console repeatedly, use a shelf with a strict load rating, or fit the system into a padded travel case.

The current Digital Edition is 1.3 pounds lighter than the current disc model based on Sony’s rounded U.S. figures. PS5 Pro stays close to the current disc PS5 in mass, so moving to Pro does not bring back the near-10-pound weight of the launch hardware.

• Use 6.8 lb for a current CFI-2100 PS5 with the disc drive.
• Use 5.5 lb for a current CFI-2100 Digital Edition.
• Use 6.9 lb for the current PS5 Pro.
• Check the CFI model group before buying a fitted case for older hardware.
• Add controllers, cables, padding, and the bag or case separately when estimating travel weight.

The PS5 Weights To Keep Handy

For current hardware, three figures settle most decisions: 6.8 lb for the standard PS5 with a disc drive, 5.5 lb for the Digital Edition, and 6.9 lb for PS5 Pro. Older disc models range from about 7.1 to 9.9 lb, while older Digital Editions range from about 5.7 to 8.6 lb across the revisions listed above.

Use the console-only mass for shelf limits and hardware comparisons. For travel or shipping, add every controller, cable, removable accessory, protective insert, and the carrying case or box to the console figure before checking the final load.
