With the release of the PlayStation 5, users have an eternal question: buy the Digital version or the version with a disk drive. What if there is a third option? Famous insider Tom Henderson reported that Sony is preparing a new version of the console - with a removable disk drive!

Here's What We Know

The new iteration of the console will have to replace all existing versions. Differences in hardware from the current ones will be minimal. The drive itself will be connected to the console through an additional Type-C port, which will be placed on the back. You can buy the console with it, or without it, or, if you want, buy a disc drive later. Despite the fact that the drive will be portable, this assembly will look like a single unit on the outside.

When We Can Expect It

According to insider information, the console will be announced somewhere in the middle of fiscal 2023, and it will go on sale tentatively in September of that year.
