The PS5 detachable disc drive that will reportedly arrive with the next generation of the console “likely won’t be compatible” with the current PlayStation 5 Digital Version, according to a report from insider Tom Henderson. If true, this would presumably limit the use of the detachable disc drive to this new batch of “PS5 Slim” consoles and awkwardly leave current owners of the disc-less PS5 with the inability to purchase it as a potential upgrade. Henderson, providing a “small update” as a tweet, also says that the new PS5 console will essentially be “gen 2” of the PS5. On the subject of the detachable hard drive, though, some users in the thread wonder what the point is if it’s not compatible with the current Digital Version of the console or that it would severely limit the sales of the device. Another believes that a move like this would actually be “anti-consumer” on Sony’s part.
