Sony will reportedly start production on a PlayStation 5 hardware redesign in 2022.

Thats according to Taiwanese business website DigiTimes, which claims that suppliers including semiconductor foundry TSMC are planning to start producing the redesigned PS5 console between the second and third quarters of next year.

As noted by Kantan Games analyst Dr. Serkan Toto, DigiTimes supply chain sources say the redesigned PS5 will come with a new semi-customized 6nm CPU from AMD.

Its likely the redesign is purely components-focused and wont feature any significant external changes.

This is a possible fix to supply problems, but the repercussions of having PS5 models with different chipsets is likely not going to be obvious until they're already on shelves.

agreed. add ps3 digital as well. so any ps3/4 digital game just migrate them to ps5 and newer gens.

still hoping the new one will come with an option for a 2tb ssd. i'd pay $600 for that. rather it just came with it instead of having to upgrade it myself and pay even more.

It says they will start production on a re-design in 2022. Could take years.

They don't release the Slim models until nearly 3 years after the original.

PS3 was November 2006, PS3 Slim was September 2009
PS4 was November 2013, PS4 Slim was September 2016.

(PS2 and PS2 Slimline had a 4-year gap)

No you can do it manually, with multiple methods that are easy as fuck. I have no idea what that guy is talking about.

That's gotta be it. I remember someone making a topic the other day about losing their account over something but I don't know if it was them

No not yet, this sounds more like the update Nintendo did with the OG Switch where they put slightly better internals in it but otherwise changed nothing else.

Sooooo we all essentially lived up to the "early adopter" meme and bought an inferior product?

Die shrink redesigns happen all the time without people even knowing. There's one PS4 Pro that literally uses half the power and generates half the heat of the previous ones, but very few people even know about it.

Sounds more like it's just going to be easier on them to produce so they'll be able to keep up with demand a little more

I wonder if these new PS5 models will remove that software lock if the internal clock battery is removed or dies because that issue was recently found in the PS4 and PS5. Just might be worth holding out for a PS5 if they do fix it.
