Following in the footsteps of the digital-only PS5, the next generation of PlayStation consoles might not attract those who enjoy collecting physical games. A leaker named KeplerL2 on the NeoGAF forums claimed that the PlayStation 6 might lack a built-in disc drive. The same leaker noted that the base PS6 could have just 1TB of internal SSD storage, similar to most PS5 models, potentially due to a global RAM shortage. The PS5 has had a no-disc-drive variant since 2020, but Sony provides a standalone disc drive for those who want one. While most video game sales occur in digital marketplaces, owning physical copies remains popular due to concerns about digital storefronts and the enjoyment of building collections. If these rumors are accurate, it could spark controversy.
