The PS5 with a detachable disc drive seems to have proven up in a leaked video, and appears so much just like the leaked picture that was regarded as of the PS5 slim from earlier this morning. The one actual telling element is the black line that travels alongside the aspect of the console cowl on all sides. Which suggests the 2 are one in the identical.
The video leak nevertheless exhibits much more of the console in query. It’s not clear if this can be a actual working unit or if it’s merely a demo shell. Or if it’s even a official design within the first place. Both method, if the design is correct it’s clear that this definitely isn’t a slim model of the PS5. Whereas the leaked video doesn’t present the unit plugged in or working, it does present the console off from practically all angles. There are a few notable particulars value mentioning too.
The video does seem to indicate a PS5 with a detachable disc drive unit
You solely get a short look. However in case you watch carefully you may see the place it seems the primary console unit is separated from the disc drive portion. Because the console is tipped to indicate the underside, you may see a line that runs from the entrance to the again that splits the world the place the drive is from the remainder of the console.
One other notable change is that this unit doesn’t have a USB-A port on the entrance. On the prevailing PS5 model, there’s one USB-A port and one USB-C port. The unit on this video has two USB-C ports. Suggesting Sony has determined to switch the USB-A port for an additional USB-C possibility. The video doesn’t actually give a great take a look at that again. So it’s unclear if there are nonetheless two USB-A ports there. Nevertheless it wouldn’t make sense to take away one on the entrance after which take away the again ones additionally.
For probably the most half, this PS5 doesn’t look a lot totally different. Whether it is in reality a brand new mannequin with a revised design.
