PS5 Disc Drive is selling out after PS5 Pro announcement
The demand for the PS5 Disc Drive has skyrocketed since the announcement of the PS5 Pro, with online retailers quickly selling out of the popular peripheral.
Gamers eager to ensure they can still play physical media on their next-gen consoles are rushing to purchase the external disc drive required for the new PS5 Pro.
Sony officially revealed the PS5 Pro earlier this week, and with it came the announcement that the console would not include a built-in disc drive.
Instead, players who want to use physical discs will need to buy the external PS5 Disc Drive, a shift that has already sparked a buying frenzy.
At the time of writing, the PS5 Disc Drive has climbed to #16 on Amazon’s best-selling video game products.
Best Buy, one of the major online retailers, has already sold out of the drive, and it is currently unavailable for order. Gamers are still able to find it on other major sites like Target, Walmart, and PlayStation Direct, but these supplies are expected to diminish quickly as well.
This rush to secure the PS5 Disc Drive began when Sony introduced the PS5 Slim in late 2023, which also required an external drive for physical Game compatibility. Unlike the original PS5, which featured both disc and digital editions, the Slim removed the option of having a built-in disc drive.
