Currently, it is available in two distinct editions - Standard, which supports both physical and digital media; and Digital, which comes without a disk drive and is limited to downloadable digital media only. According to a recent report by Insider Gaming, Sony is developing a new PlayStation 5 model that will feature a detachable disk drive, omitting the key difference between the current digital and physical editions. <h2>PS5 reportedly getting slim by detaching disk drive due out next year</h2> As per the report, the PS5 is set to get a major overhaul soon, with the new model set for a September 2023 release.

(Drive is separate so digital and physical PS5s would be the same console)• Potentially bring prices down if cheaper to manufacture twitter.com/InsiderGamingI… The report further adds that instead of the current Digital Edition and Standard Edition, the new PlayStation 5 will be sold either on its own or bundled with a detachable disk drive. Detaching the disk drive is expected to make the PS5 lighter and slimmer than its current iterations. Having a single model will also, in theory, reduce the cost of manufacturing and allow players to upgrade their digital consoles to support physical media at any point.

The only difference is if one includes the detachable disk drive or not in the boxThis likely makes it much easier to manufacture for Sony While the PlayStation 5 has been receiving new hardware revisions, such as the 1100 and 1200 models, the changes have mostly had to do with the radiator and fan, providing marginally more efficient and cooler performance. However, the reported massive redesign, including detaching the disk drive, sounds more akin to a mid-generation refresh.

Ever since the PS One, Sony has been releasing mid-generation refreshes of PlayStation consoles, often dubbed 'slim', that provide the same performance but in a smaller and lighter size. The reported redesign could very well be the 'PS5 Slim'. colteastwood@Colteastwood@OnlyLegendsRise I can guarantee you.

If PlayStation had a $300 lower spec PS5 Slim, it would DOMINATE sales.1@OnlyLegendsRise I can guarantee you. If PlayStation had a $300 lower spec PS5 Slim, it would DOMINATE sales. While the PS2 Slim was released four years later, both the PS3 Slim and PS4 Slim were released around three years after the original console's launch.

Considering the PS5 is heading towards its third anniversary in 2023, the reported redesign seems quite fitting and in line with Sony's previous PlayStation iterations. It should be noted that the redesign hasn't officially been confirmed by Sony, and as such, it should be treated as a rumor and taken with a grain of salt.
