Is Sony Releasing New Hardware Before the PS5 Pro?

Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has hinted that Sony might have some unannounced hardware in the works, and it could be released sooner than the heavily rumored PS5 Pro. While it’s important to take this information with a grain of salt until Sony provides official confirmation. Not just this news but a recent drop in PlayStation 5 Pro price also hints at the launch of PS 5 Pro.

Speculation About New Sony Hardware – Just Before PS5 Pro Launch

During a recent stream, Henderson hinted at the possibility of Sony releasing new hardware. He stated that there is another piece of hardware coming down the pipeline that will be released before the PS5 Pro, and that he’ll likely talk about it very soon. He also mentioned this on Twitter, further fueling speculation about new Sony hardware.

For those asking, the new Sony hardware I alluded to in yesterday's stream hasn't been reported on yet.

Insider Gaming has previously reported that a PS5 with a detachable disk drive is also in the works. So if all these rumors are accurate, we could see an array of PS5 iterations, including peripherals. One possible product could be a PlayStation wearable, like a stylish watch that integrates with PlayStation 5 Pro.

As exciting as these rumors are, it’s important to remember that they are just rumors until Sony confirms them. There is no telling what Sony has up its sleeve, and it’s also possible that the company is just experimenting with different ideas and concepts that may never make it to market.

While we await official confirmation from Sony, it’s interesting to speculate about what new hardware the company could be developing. With Henderson’s recent comments, it’s clear that Sony has more up its sleeve than we previously thought.
