What we know about the PS5 Pro

Last update: 08/09/2024

PS5 Pro

We recently talked in this same blog about the Playstation 6. And the truth is that that was getting ahead of ourselves a bit, because first we have to deal with the Pro version of the Playstation 5, which will be released much sooner. In this article we tell you Everything we know so far about the PS5 Pro: features, price, release date and more.

This summer the rumours have been running high. On the specialized forums on the Internet, new clues and new details about the new Sony console appear every day. There have also been some leaks from the brand itself. Everything indicates that the presentation of the Playstation 5 Pro will take place much earlier than everyone expected.

We would therefore be in the final stretch of the development phase. However, there are still many doubts to be resolved. One of them is the name of the console itself: PS5 Pro is how users have unofficially named it (based on what happened with the PS4 and PS4 Pro), but until now there has been no confirmation on this from Sony.

Will the PS5 Pro ultimately be little more than a more powerful version of the PS5 Or will we see new features and functions? It seems that we won't have to wait long to find out.

However, the presence of the future PS6 in the not-so-distant future suggests that Sony will reserve the major innovations for its launch. In other words: the PS5 Pro will not be the PS6.

What we can expect from the PlayStation 5 Pro

In the absence of an official presentation of the PS5 Pro, all we can do is echo the rumors that circulate on the networks and dare to especular a little bit. Although there are still not many certainties, this is a brief summary of everything we know so far about this new gaming console:

Design

PS5 Slim

The final look of the new PS5 Pro is at the center of many debates. Many rumours have been published Fake images and unofficial designs created by independent artists. However, it is possible that amidst all the noise, some real images may have leaked out.

En el blog Dealabs, where some exclusives have already been noted, a supposedly authentic image was published (the one you can see above these lines). A stylized design that seems to follow the path already traced by the PS5 Slim. It is a very realistic possibility that we must take into account.

Updated GPU

There are rumors that the PS5 Pro will receive a big upgrade to your GPU, enhanced to make it as powerful as the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT graphics card.

Others even venture to estimate this improvement at 227% more in teraflops. A huge leap that would mean being able to run games at almost 50% faster speed. It would be quite an achievement, although at first it sounds a bit exaggerated, so the most prudent thing to do is to remain skeptical about the credibility of such news.

No disc player?

Although there are many users who talk about a PS5 Pro without a disc reader, common sense tells us that this is a feature we won't see yet (maybe on the PS6).

Those who defend this long-awaited decision Sony argues that it would be a way to market the new console at a competitive price, reducing costs thanks to the option of having a disc player or not. Pure speculation.

Curiously, in none of the discussions taking place on the Internet about the features of the upcoming Playstation Pro 5 does it appear no mention of the launch of a new type of controller.

So there is not much to say about it: There will be no news in this regard, which will perhaps be a disappointment for many users, so We will continue to have the same DualSense controller Included in white, the same color that comes in the PS5 and PS5 Slim.

Release date

There is no confirmed date, but there seems to be general agreement that The launch of the PS5 Pro is going to take place very soon, probably this fallIf that's the case, it will have been exactly four years since the PS5 launched. That's a longer time span than the PS4's debut in November 2013 and the PS4 Pro's in November 2016.

Being a little more rational, it is possible that between September and October the possibility of applying will open pre-orders of the new console from Sony's website. This will be the definitive prelude to the presentation, which could finally take place during the month of November. That is our bet, we will soon know if we were wrong or not. As for the price, for the moment it is a mystery.
