Sony might be looking to slim down the PlayStation 5 more. The company is rumoured to be working on a slimmer PS5 that ditches the built-in disc driver for a detachable one. Of course, it's going to bed sold separately, at least according to rumours. Everything else, though, will stay the same.

The upside of the detachable disc drive is existing PS5 users who don't have one or damage the one in their machines can purchase this version. Unsurprisingly, Sony hasn't confirmed the rumours. But this version of the PS5 is expected to come out in September 2023.
