The hardware includes an 8-inch 1080p LCD display with 60fps support, 3D Audio, haptic feedback, and adaptive triggers (Sony). The primary change is the addition of built-in internal storage, though the capacity is unspecified. Sony says the storage was included to support future functionality, but the company has not explained how the storage will be used.

The device includes a one-month PlayStation Plus Premium voucher (Sony). While the new model is available in Japan and South Korea, the Japanese version is restricted to the Japanese language and requires a PlayStation account registered in Japan (Sony). Pre-orders for the Japanese model begin on November 13 at 10:00 AM (Sony).
