Rumors about the new PlayStation 5 model intensify. According to the latest advances from TheLeak.co, Sony would be willing to launch a version with a ‘Slim’ design of PS5 on the market in the course of 2023.
In resuming and bouncing these indiscretions on social media from the columns of his new site, the now famous insider Tom Henderson believes that these rumors refer to the modular model of PlayStation 5 described to him in recent months by his ‘deep throats’ inside Sony.
Henderson explains that the Japanese tech giant is working on one third version of PS5 destined to supplant the current models “day one” of PlayStation 5 and PS5 Digital Edition. The main feature of the new design would be precisely its modularity, represented by a slot in which to insert or extract the disc player.
Returning to the previews of TheLeak, the anonymous sources of the portal describe this new model as ‘Chassis D’in reference to the evolution that has affected the Sony console up to the 2022 model of PlayStation 5 with weight lightened by the redesign of the heatsink.
The rumored Chassis D of PS5, depending on the modularity of its disc player, would therefore have a different design than the current models on the market. According to Insider-Gaming, Sony’s internal documentation suggests that the current PlayStation 5 models will cease to be produced in October 2023, a move that should allow the Japanese giant to reorganize the entire production chain on the new modular design. by the end of next year.
