PS5 Pro Packaging Flaunts Its Disc-Free Nature 1

PS5 Pro is beginning to appear in the wild, with some sections of media and even customers receiving their consoles. While the package has very few surprises about it, one amusing feature is in the top-right corner, as the device proudly declares itself “disc-free”. There’s a picture of a Blu-ray with a line through it just to hammer the point home.

Obviously, you can attach an optional disc drive to the PS5 Pro, so physical remains a viable option – assuming you’re willing to pay a premium for it. Sony flogs Blu-ray attachments for about $80, and these fit both the PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro. Of course, it’s an added expense if you still purchase physical media, and stock has been limited lately.

But it’s worth reiterating that boxed game sales have been on the slide for years now. In the UK, fewer than 25 per cent of games sales are purchased physically, and in the US that number sits around 22 per cent. So while it is a shame a premium product like the PS5 Pro lacks a disc drive, it’s somewhat easy to understand why Sony has made this decision.
