Reports from reputable sources like Tom Henderson, a famed tech analyst, and leaker, previously affirmed rumors regarding Sony's new PS5 release. In this report, Henderson said that the console will arrive with a detachable disc drive and that it is already available on hand to people given the PlayStation 5 Test Kits.

ComicBook Gaming reported that there is indeed a massive wave of new PS5 console rumors in the gaming industry now.

And while it centers mostly on the detachable disc drive, this will soon be the standard console that Sony will release in the future.

Take this information with a grain of salt, especially as all remain as rumors and speculations from sources as of the moment.

Sony's CES 2023 Showcase

Sony is a frequent CES exhibitor for years now, and it is confirmed for 2023's event.

Its CES 2023 showcase will take place on January 4, by 8:00 pm ET (5:00 pm PT), with its press conference placeholder already available on YouTube for people to tune in tomorrow night.

Should the new PS5 rumors be true, this is a golden opportunity for Sony to confirm it, being one of the most prestigious tech events of the year.

The PlayStation 5

For the first two years of the PlayStation 5, people were greeted with stock unavailability and rapid sell-outs of the console, one of the most coveted technologies in 2020. Scalpers were quick to purchase the $500 device and sell it for as much as $25,000 on eBay, 50 times more expensive than its original price from Sony.

The current-gen console from Sony is still in high-demand now, but good thing is that stocks are regular from the company's website and retailers, after more than two years.

It is the top platform to experience the latest games and titles from different developers, with some exclusive to the console like "Spider-Man: Miles Morales," "Gran Turismo 7," and more.

Not all have their original PS5 consoles yet, but there are already massive talks behind a new version from Sony coming this year. The CES 2023 showcase from Sony is coming soon, and this is a good time to monitor any new console drops from the company regarding the PlayStation 5 and get ahead of the upcoming surge in demand, should there be a new one.
