A new patent bySonyindicates the upcomingPlayStation 5may have international , similar cartridges of some sort . Although   a small amount of data has already been revealed about Sony ’s upcoming console , such as the PS5 containing acontroller which features haptic feedbackand a promisedPlayStation 5 launch lineupthe company has enunciate is guaranteed to   satisfy player , there are still many things   participant do not know onwards of the system’sHoliday 2020 freeing appointment .

According to a now - deleted section of a former Sony line itemization , the   PlayStation 5 is theworld ’s fast console , likely in part due to the fellowship ’s push for solid - United States Department of State movement in   next propagation secret plan systems . Multiple developer have gone on the disk and insisted SSD is thefuture of gaming , and although there have not yet been any detailed confirmed specification about the PS5 there have been multiple seemingly - confirmed rumors aboutPlayStation 5 dev kitsbeing distributed to multiple AAA game companies .

According to a report byLetsGoDigital , Sony has file another patent at the same offices where the original paperwork for thePlayStation 5 development kitwas filed , this prison term for some sort of PlayStation cartridge . The designer of the cartridge , Yujin Morisawa , is the Senior Art Director at Sony and , according to the report , is " responsible for all products associated with the PlayStation brand . "

If the PlayStation 5 does indeed feature some sort of pickup system , there are really only two options . Either they will be for games , with Sony following in theNintendo Switch ’s footsteps , or they will be for some sorting of removable memory system of rules , perhaps even obliterable solid state drives . Since the patent of invention itself   is for an object   rather large for a secret plan cartridge and Sony has never cope with any other grade of instertable media besides disk in the yesteryear , it ’s unlikely to be the former , and , harmonize to an in - astuteness look at the patent byPSU , the amount of oarlock feature suggest it ’s too minor for an SSD , leaving only detachable memory as an alternative remain .

Having the magazine be some variety of next multiplication " memory card " make more sense , specially when considering how many games are only uncommitted as digital downloads . As more and more AAA biz company expel titles with overbearingly - large file sizes ( look at you , Rockstar Games ) it ’s only natural mass will need to increase their cabinet ’s memory lest they risk uninstalling a secret plan and not having admission to it later . While many players still choose strong-arm media , if only to ensure constant possession of their games over time , plenty of others gayly occupy their own console ’s punishing drives up with downloadable title on a daily footing , and easily - swappable memory stick could be just the affair thePlayStation 5needs .
