Ultra HD Blu-ray PS4 Pro PlayStation 4 1

In what may be the first bloody nose that Sony's sustained this generation, the PlayStation 4 Pro won't come with a 4K Blu-ray drive. The platform holder didn't mention Blu-ray once during its press conference this evening, and now a slew of senior reporters in New York are claiming that the console won't support Ultra High-Definition discs.

The manufacturer did announce that two new apps will launch for Netflix and YouTube, unlocking 4K streaming content on the new console, but the fact that it never commented on Blu-ray is telling. All of this information is fluid, with the platform holder failing to release any assets at the time of typing, so we'll update as soon as we learn more.

Update (22:00PM BST): Sony's now released the specs, which confirm that the PS4 Pro does not have an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive.
