Sony hasn’t officially announced the PlayStation 6 yet, but speculation continues to grow. Gamers are wondering when the new console will arrive, and whether buying a new PS5 now will make it obsolete.
Subscription model becomes the new option
To address this issue, a flexible subscription service has emerged that allows gamers to rent or subscribe to a console instead of owning it outright. The biggest advantage is that as new hardware, like the potential PS6, hits the market, users can easily upgrade their console without the hassle of selling their old device.
A company called Raylo is currently offering this subscription feature for popular gaming devices like PS5, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation VR2. This allows fans to upgrade their storage before the launch of GTA 6 and even shift to a new console if needed in the future.
