Overview
- An Insider Gaming report, echoed by multiple outlets, says PS6 will debut as a modular system with a removable disc drive.
- Buyers could pick a digital-only unit, a bundle with the drive pre-attached, or add the drive later as a separate purchase.
- Coverage notes Sony is targeting a simpler, smaller and lighter chassis to lower manufacturing, storage and shipping expenses.
- Sources link the strategy to PS5-era results, claiming disc-drive sales met internal targets and validated keeping the option.
- Sony has not announced PS6 specifications or a release date, though recent executive comments emphasize local hardware execution over cloud-only play.
