Leaked PS5 Pro design has players worried

The PS5 Pro design has apparently leaked, along with some information about Sony’s reveal plans , and the initial reaction hasn’t been great. A known insider shared a sketch of the console based on what they’ve seen, and it’s missing a key component that the insider couldn’t confirm exists or not.

The PS5 Pro’s design lacks a disc drive, and players are concerned

The leak comes from none other than trusted insider and Dealabs user Billbil-kun, who has quite the track record. According to them, the console will indeed be called PS5 Pro and will look very similar to the existing PS5 Slim.

The upgraded hardware, which apparently comes in the standard white color, supports dual USB-C ports and a power button on the front, with three black stripes distinguishing it from the current slim models. While billbil-kun played it safe by sharing a sketch, we’re not even going to embed it here to avoid a copyright strike. You can, however, check it out in the tweet below and over on Dealabs:

According to billbil-kun, the PS5 Pro appears to be slightly thicker than the standard PS5 and will come with the standard DualSense.

To address the elephant in the room, Billbil-kun can’t confirm whether or not the PS5 Pro will come with a disc drive. They also can’t confirm whether or not what they’ve seen — a digital model — is the only version of the console.

It’s possible that Sony will sell a disc drive separately (which it currently does, at least) and has decided to ship the PS5 Pro without a disc drive to avoid a hefty price tag. I raised concerns about this just a day ago.

While their reactions are premature, players are understandably concerned about the potential lack of a disc drive, as Billbil-kun didn’t see one. What the insider can confirm, however, is that the PS5 Pro will be officially revealed in the first half of September 2024.
