Sony has not confirmed that it is working on a revision, but it is not the first time that new information about it has come to light. From Insider Gaming They point out that a launch of the system will take place at the end of 2024, as their sources have been able to confirm. Currently Sony is still developing the machine and the date is estimated, so it is subject to change.
“It’s only the beginning of new hardware coming to PlayStation users this generation“, revealed one of the sources to the outlet.

What we know so far, thanks to the information revealed by Jeff Grubb, is that Sony is going to hold a PlayStation Showcase “before E3 2023”.

The hardware will be practically the same as we know and an arrival is expected for September 2023. The connection of the disc reader will take place through an additional USB-C port on the back of this PS5. From Insider Gaming They understand that the sale will be made both with the reader included and without it, being able to replace or buy one independently.
In addition, Sony’s estimates are to produce 18.5 million PS5s by fiscal year 2023 and subsequently reduce AC chassis units to 12 million to make way for new models.
