PlayStation 5 with Detachable Disc Drive and Uncharted Franchise Get New Updates; Sony PS Plus Subscriptions Discounts Live

PlayStation 5’s have been receiving new chassis for quite some time now, which help with reducing the overall weight of the system. Earlier, we spoke about a PlayStation 5 chassis that would consist of a detachable disc drive. The drive could be connected to the console via USB-C connection and could be sold separately or in a bundle. It was rumored to release in September 2023.

Renowned tipster, Tom Henderson, has just provided an update on what he knows about the PlayStation 5 with the detachable disc drive. According to his recent tweet, Henderson has heard from two different people that the test kit for that variant has reached people’s hands. And it apparently works flawlessly and players will be hearing about it soon. If this genuinely works so well, then it will be a game changer for players with the Digital PS5 variant.

Another exciting piece of news is a new report from Theleak.co (via InsiderGaming), which suggests that the Uncharted series could be rebooted. Through the report it has been understood that an unknown developer will be working not on a 5th instalment but a franchise reboot. Naughty Dog is not out of scene completely, as the iconic studio will be assisting in the development of the title.

As of now all we can do is speculate on what path the unknown developer will take with the story, it could include protagonist Nathan Drake or an entirely new character. We can be sure about one thing though, that this game will not be releasing anytime soon as there are no official sources confirming even the slightest possibility of the project.

Lastly, PlayStation Plus members can rejoice as the long-awaitedd Christmas discounts have finally arrived. There is a catch though, as the discounts only apply for 12-month packages and only new or old members with lapsed memberships can avail this offer.

As part of the new offerings, PlayStation Plus Essential costs INR 1,499 at a 50% discount, PlayStation Plus Extra costs INR 2,999 with a 40% discount and PlayStation Plus Deluxe will receive a 35% discount coming in at INR 3,749. These services originally cost INR 2,999, INR 4,999 and INR 5,749 respectively.
