Which PlayStation Do You Have? How to Identify Your PlayStation
The easiest way to tell which Sony PlayStation you have is to check the model number. You can find it on the outside of the chassis, typically on the bottom, back or near the base.
Next, cross reference the model number in the tables below.
Note that Sony releases multiple variations of each PlayStation model, each with a slightly different model number. PS4 and PS5 model numbers are comprised of:
- 3-letter prefix: Product type (for example, the prefix “CUH” denotes a PS4)
- 2-digit series number: Series (for example, “20” denotes a PS4 Slim)
- 2-digit region number: Region (for example, “01” denotes United States)
- 1-letter capacity/version number: Hard drive capacity (for example, “A” denotes 500GB capacity for the PS4) OR, in the case of the PS5, whether it has a disc drive
For example, the model number CUH-2001A tells us we have a PlayStation 4 Slim made for the U.S. region with 500GB hard drive capacity.
In general, you don’t need the region number, so it’s represented by “xx” in the model numbers below.
PS5
Released in 2020, the PlayStation 5 is available in two editions, one with a disc drive (CFI-10xxA) and one without (Digital Edition, CFI-10xxB).
In 2021, Sony released an updated version that’s nearly identical except for a smaller cooling element, which reduces the console’s weight by around 300 grams. The updated version’s model numbers are CFI-11xxA (with disc drive) and CFI-11xxB (without disc drive).

PS4
A quick and easy way to tell which PS4 you have is to examine the chassis:
- The original PS4 chassis has two tiers of equal height
- The PS4 Slim chassis likewise has two tiers, but the upper tier is shorter than the bottom tier
- The PS4 Pro chassis has three tiers
However, you’ll still need to reference the model number to find the capacity. PS4 model numbers begin with the prefix “CUH.”
