Sony is reportedly going to produce more PlayStation 4 consoles through 2022 in order to allegedly help offset the pressure on the company's PlayStation 5 console production.

According to a new report from Bloomberg, Sony allegedly told its assembly partners late last year that it would continue making more PlayStation 4 consoles until the end of 2022. Sony had never officially announced that it would discontinue the PS4, but the report mentions that the company's original plan was to stop assembly at the end of 2021.

However, a Sony spokesperson said that the company did not plan on discontinuing the console and confirmed that it would remain in production this year, saying, "It is one of the best-selling consoles ever and there is always crossover between generations."
