Moreover, the console is currently named the D chassis PlayStation 5. It is expected to have similar hardware as that of the current model in the market. However, the biggest and most surprising feature in the next PS5 will be the addition of a detachable disc drive.

Tom also mentioned that the next iteration of PS5 will be sold on its own in a bundle, alongside the detachable disc drive. The good thing is if there’s any problem in drives, users won’t have to buy a completely new console itself.

Furthermore, despite there being a detachable disc drive, it won’t affect the looks of the PlayStation 5. Simply put, the new model will appear similar to the current product available in the market. Another advantage of having a disc drive is that the console will now be slimmer and lighter in weight.

According to the rumored information, the next PS5 will reportedly arrive in the middle of FY 2023. What are your thoughts on this massive news? Let us know in the comments.
