In an interview, one of the previous Playstation heads calls a feature that Sony cannot do without the PS6.

While Nintendo has now confirmed and showed its switch 2 at least by trailer, the new PlayStation 6 is still pending. The new hardware is rumored to be released at the earliest in 2027, but probably only in 2028, but we will only have certainty in this regard if Sony expresses itself more specifically. When the time comes, Sony can definitely not do without a feature with the new console, according to a previous manager.

In this case, it means the former Playstation boss Shawn Layden, who is on the subject Kiwitalkks has expressed. Accordingly, Sony would certainly plan some things that the general public would not be expected – and in his opinion, this also includes that Sony will hardly do without a disc drive at PlayStation 6.

Although the market is developing towards a purely digital market, Sony, according to Layden, cannot afford to do without a drive.

“Sony's market is so big from Sony's market, I think that it will therefore be hard for you to completely do without a disc drive – even with the new generation of consoles,” said Layden. The former CEO of you Worldwide Studios continues: “I don't think Sony will get through with a purely digital PS6.”

In detail, he added that Sony's home consoles would continue to be used in regions with slow internet speeds or in areas without any connectivity, be it for technical reasons or for security reasons. Sony would therefore rule out many players from being able to play modern Playstation titles if one would not rely on physical media.

The PS5 Digital Edition was Sony's first home console without an optical drive. Since then the PS5 Pro and a disc-free variant of the PS5 Slim have followed; The latter two can be equipped with a separately available Blu-ray drive, which is known to use a real run, so that it was often out of print. The forecast that the PlayStation 6 should continue to be offered in a disc variant should therefore delight many gamers.
