This move will allow the company to reduce production and logistics costs.
The PlayStation 6 console will be equipped with a removable disk drive. The information was shared by journalist and insider Tom Henderson.
Several sources, who wished to remain anonymous as they are not authorized to disclose the company's plans, confirmed that the removable disk drive will remain in the next generation of consoles. As with the PlayStation 5, buyers will be able to purchase the console as a "digital" version without a disk drive, bundled with a disk drive as a "traditional" console, or purchase the disk drive later.
One source noted that Sony is firmly committed to this decision, as the PlayStation 5 disk drive has achieved all of the company's internal goals. The decision is also driven by the need to reduce production and transportation costs in "uncertain times."
In addition, these "uncertain times" have also affected the design of the PlayStation 6. Rumor has it that the new console will have a simpler design compared to its predecessor, which will optimize efficiency and reduce weight and volume during transportation.
