According to Japanese retailers, Sony will release a third PS5 model in the coming weeks. The new PlayStation 5 (PS5) revised model (CFI-1200) is expected to ship in Japan on September 15. And it’s the same day as the price hike in Japan.

The New PlayStation 5 Model (CFI-1200) Specs and Price

Renka Schedule, a Twitter user, noted that Japanese websites are preparing to deploy the latest PS5 revision. Japanese authorities approved it in May. The next upgraded model will be known as the PS5 CFI-1200 series.

It is expected that Sony will include the rumored AMD 6nm chipset in the upcoming edition. And it makes the console more widely available. Even though the chipset is considerably different from the special 7nm AMD CPU already in the PS5, no significant performance improvements are predicted. Sony makes the change mainly for production.

Last year, Sony released a new PS5 model called the CFI-1100. The previous model made the console 300-gram lighter, upgraded the heatsink, and changed the base’s screw.

On the other hand, Sony increased PS5 prices in the UK, Europe, Japan, China, Australia, Mexico, and Canada. “High inflation rates” caused console prices to increase by 10% in Europe and 6% in the UK. However, we can say that the United States has no hike decision.
