CTOnews.com, September 20 (Xinhua)-- Tom Henderson, a reliable whistleblower in the gaming industry, announced that Sony is developing a new PlayStation 5 game console with a removable optical drive.

According to sources, Sony PlayStation 5 will undergo a unique overhaul in the middle of fiscal year 2023, and the new console will be launched around September 2023.

Sources familiar with Sony's plans shared details on condition of anonymity, outlining the next iteration of PlayStation 5. It has been suggested that the new console will completely replace the A, B and C casings that have been produced since the launch of the console. The console is currently named D case PlayStation 5, and its hardware will be almost the same as the PlayStation 5 already on the market.

CTOnews.com has learned that the biggest change to the new PlayStation 5 is that it will be equipped with a removable optical drive that will connect to the PlayStation 5 using an additional USB-C interface on the back of the game console.

It is understood that the new PlayStation 5 game console will be sold separately or bundled with a removable optical drive. The optical drive can also be purchased separately, so if the optical drive is broken, there is no need to buy a new game console.

Sources suggest that the new removable optical drive is portable and will not damage the beauty of the console, which could mean that the new PlayStation 5 looks similar to the existing model.

In addition, the new removable optical drive may mean that the new version of the PlayStation 5 will become thinner and lighter, and it will also make the PlayStation 5 version of the optical drive as symmetrical as the non-optical drive version, removing the drum bag that is currently raised separately.
