It’s a new form of hardware DRM that could make it impossible to play old PS5 games in future years.
For all those people thinking of picking up Sony’s upcoming slimmed-down version of the PlayStation 5, just know that the company is watching you when you set up the console’s new, detachable disc drive. Twitter account CharlieIntel posted images on Tuesday of the new Modern Warfare III PS5 slim bundle. This was for the new, thinner PlayStation 5 with the disc drive already attached, noting a potential release date of Nov. 10.
Sony may be concerned users will go out and buy aftermarket disc drives to hook up to their console, or worse, dare to modify the device with some other module that hooks in through those same slots. Though most first-time buyers will likely have an internet connection when they first boot up their new slim console, the problem could be years down the line when Sony eventually abandons the PS5 servers. When that happens, users will have no way to activate their disc drive to play older games.
