According to several rumors, Sony is working hard to complete a new variant of the Playstation 5 console. The biggest difference is that the model will be slimmer than the previous models thanks to a removable disc reader.

The new console variant will cover the gap between the current Playstation 5 models that either have a built-in disc drive or no support for Blu-ray and DVD. According to Insider Gaming, both the new Playstation 5 model and the detachable disc reader will launch around September 2023, and they can be purchased separately or in a bundle.

It is unknown if the current Playstation 5 Digital Edition will have support for the external disc drive that is rumored to connect to the console’s USB-C port.
