According to sources, the external drive will not look out of place on the new PS5, and even if it does, it will look similar to the current model. Also, since the drive can be purchased separately, there seems to be no need to buy back the entire PS5 set even if it breaks.

The PS5 has undergone two model changes since its introduction, and each time the weight of the aircraft has been reduced. Insider Gaming expects that the new model will look the same as the current model even if a drive is installed, so the aircraft itself will be lighter.
