Tom Henderson, a former employee of Sony, speculated on how the new PS5 might be released in September 2023, with a removable optical reader that can be purchased separately.
Henderson, who began with Tony Todd, the voice actor of Venom, and speculated that Sony might use the new Insomniac Games title to launch the new PS5 model, given the title's potential selling power (the first was capable of selling over 20 million copies).
It is important to remember that we are talking about information that hasn't been officially released by Sony in any way. It's likely that we will have to wait for the general pre-E3 event, which was also mentioned in recent weeks but was not confirmed.
