First comprehensive developer’s version review of the PlayStation 5 showcased in video.

First Comprehensive Review of the Developer Version of the PlayStation 5

Before the launch of the PlayStation 5, and specifically in the period leading up to the announcement of its final design, there were numerous rumors and leaks from all sides about the platform and its final design or appearance.

Before an image surfaced on the internet from a leaker revealing the developer version of the console, where many players believed that this was the final design of the console. However, the truth is that this version is usually for developers and has specifications much higher than the version intended for players around the world.

This came to the forefront in the last few hours due to what was shared with us by the user, the owner of the Macho Nacho Productions channel on YouTube, who we do not know how he managed to get his hands on the developer version of the PlayStation 5.

Specifically, one of the modern models of the device, as the developer version is constantly updated by Sony to provide the latest features on it, in preparation for its presentation during the games being prepared for the PlayStation 5. Here are the most important elements that were recorded in this special version of the PlayStation 5 device for developers, containing several details after we were able to see them up close this time.

• The first observation is that the new version comes with a completely different model called DFI-D1000AA.
• The device comes with four USB 3.0 ports, a regular USB 2.0 port, and a USB Type C port.
