PS5 Pro: When Will It Come Out and How Much Will It Cost?

In 2020, the original PlayStation 5 will receive a mid-cycle makeover in the form of the PS5 Pro. Though earlier rumors suggested that the consoles would be a significant improvement over vanilla, with the promise of ambitious 8K gaming capabilities, it is now evident that the next mid-cycle refresh would be far more restrained, promising only enhanced 4K gaming performance.

Since 2020, gaming gear technology hasn’t advanced all that much—especially considering the positive state of the economy. A cursory glance at hardware demand levels explains the state of affairs: hardly anybody purchased any RTX 40 series cards.

Although some could contend that the cards were overpriced, a significant factor in the low sales numbers is that today’s gamers don’t have enough extra money to spend on pastimes.

In this article, we update you on the most recent information regarding the impending mid-cycle refresh of PS5 Pro. Please return often, as we will be updating this post with any fresh information that is confirmed or leaked.

What is the Latest on PlayStation 5 Pro Leaks?

Quite a few new details about the impending PS5 Pro have surfaced recently. In a nutshell, here is the most crucial information to bring you up to speed:

• The PS5 Slim will be available for purchase prior to the Pro model. During this year’s FTC vs. Microsoft court hearings, Sony verified the slimline revision.
• The most probable release date for the PS5 Pro is around the 2024 Christmas season. A release in November appears likely, in keeping with previous PlayStation systems.
• Some say that developers have supposedly begun getting PS5 Pro devkits. The console may have already been finalized and is now in the early phases of manufacture, according to this. Stay tuned for more information.
• You can now find the 2020 PlayStation listed on Amazon under the name PS5 Standard Edition. Sony may be getting ready to release the PS5 Slim, or they may be dropping hints about the Pro version.
• There will not be an 8K gaming machine in the next Pro version. Rumor has it that the machine is actually going to be a top-notch 4K console with more than 23 TFLOPs of processing power. The PS5 only managed 10.28 TFLOPs, so that’s more than double.

Most titles on the next platform from the Japanese tech behemoth will probably aim for 4K at 60 frames per second. Furthermore, it may also introduce new features like enhanced AI upscaling software, path tracing capability, and numerous others.

When Will the PlayStation 5 Pro Come Out?

Regarding the PS5’s more powerful mid-cycle upgrade, Sony has remained mum. Still, 2024 has been touted as the release year for the home video gaming console by a number of sites. Considering the company’s track record of launch events, we could see the PS5 Pro teased in the summer, with an official unveiling around the holidays.

A few leaks have suggested a possible release window of November 2024. This is mainly conjecture, but it could work; the real launch window could be different. We will update the article whenever more specific details become available.

Speculation has said that Sony may also abandon the PS5 Pro. The chief executive officer of Take-Two Interactive, Strauss Zelnick, has stated that the numerous rumors circulating regarding the Ninth Generation’s Pro upgrade “aren’t that meaningful.”

Considerable speculation has it that the Japanese tech giant has no plans for a more robust mid-cycle upgrade in light of this development. But what really occurs is anybody’s guess.

How Much Will PlayStation 5 Pro Cost?

All signs point to the PlayStation 5 Pro costing more than its predecessor. It should be mentioned that the PS4 Pro was just as expensive when it was released in 2016 at $399, just like the PS4 was when it debuted in 2013.

So, the suggested retail price for the new system is $499, which is the same as the PS5 Disc Edition’s launch price in 2020. However, Slim versions are now available at the same price. Sony can either release a more powerful device or lower the prices of their slimline consoles in response to the impending PS5 Pro.

PS5 Pro Specifications

Compared to the PS5 from 2020, the PS5 Pro, whose codename is “Project Trinity,” will have far more powerful graphics rendering capabilities. An upgraded AMD APU, with the newest Zen 4 CPU design and RDNA 3 graphics processing technology, is anticipated to be included in the forthcoming console, allowing for superior gaming performance.

The newest Radeon RX 7000 series graphics processing units and Ryzen 7000 CPUs use these technologies, as expected. The underlying hardware, however, should be even more recent if current trends provide any indication. Rumor has it that the PlayStation 5 Pro will have RDNA 3.5 graphics and a Zen 5 CPU.

Here is a comprehensive list of PS5 Pro specifications:

Regarding additional hardware, the next console is said to include an AI engine specifically designed for it. Further, it may use a hybrid-core architecture (Zen 5 and Zen 5c) to provide gamers with even more processing capability.

The console is allegedly far along in the development process, according to leaks. A number of game studios have begun procuring device development kits in order to polish their forthcoming titles.
