PS5 Slim Bundle Requires an Internet Connection to Test the Disc Drive

Images of the PS5 Slim bundle with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 have revealed that an active internet connection is necessary to test the disc drive.

Introduction

The PS5 Slim bundle with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has recently been showcased, highlighting an important requirement for users. The packaging clearly states that an internet connection is needed when initially connecting the disc player to the new PlayStation 5 model.

The Message on the Packaging

“An Internet connection is required to pair the disc player with your PS5 console during setup.”

Internet Connection Requirement

When connecting the Blu-Ray player to the PS5 Slim All-Digital for the first time, it is crucial to establish an online connection. Without doing so, the accessory will not function properly. This requirement is likely a security measure implemented by Sony to prevent unauthorized accessory connections.

Additional Information

Aside from the internet connection requirement, leaked information from the bundle packaging highlights another important detail. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, included in the bundle, requires a minimum of 150 GB of free space for installation.
