In an interview with Famitsu magazine, Nishino discussed his future ambitions for the PS5 platform after commenting that the PS4 Pro came out around three years after the PS4 did. He stated: Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming corroborated the prediction that Sony will introduce a new PS5 model shortly. Henderson claims that two sources have confirmed that the anticipated PS5 consoles have been sent for testing and they “work flawlessly.” Henderson remained opaque on the announcement date for the new PS5, though. CES 2023, which will take place in the near future, is one potential venue.
The regular PS5 and regular digital PS5 will cease production by the end of 2023, as covered here:https://t.co/KG7nCGySt6 — Tom Henderson (@Tom_Henderson) December 13, 2022 Rumors suggest that the next PS5, code-named “D chassis,” will include hardware that is comparable to that of already available models. The main distinction is the additional USB-C connector on the rear that will accommodate the removable disc drive. According to the sources, Sony intends to sell the new PS5 with the removable drive included. Gamers will have the option of buying the console alone or the disc drive separately. A further leak from November indicates that the “PS5 Slim” would be released in Q3 2023. It’s unclear if Sony will call this purportedly updated PS5 a “Slim” or “Pro” variant. However, it appears as though these bits of knowledge are pointing in the same direction.
