Rumors Heat Up: Sony’s PS5 Pro Announcement Likely This September During State of Play

Almost four years have passed since the launch of PS5. Since then, Sony’s console has had a slightly “slimmer” version, called slim. However, rumors have been circulating for several months that the Japanese are also working on the Pro version, which is a more powerful version of the “5”. Although this console has not yet been officially confirmed, the number of reports about the hardware that have appeared over the past year leaves no doubt that PlayStation 5 will see, like the PS4, better version.

When will PS5 Pro be announced? According to journalist Jeff Grubb this may happen in the next few weeks.

W the last episode of the podcast from the Game Mess Mornings series, the host of the Giant Bomb channel on YouTube said that PS5 Pro was an open secret at the Gamescom 2024 event held last week. This indicates that a large number of game developers already have access to the PS5 Pro devkit and confirming information from Jeff Grubb’s sources – that PlayStation 5 Pro will appear in 2024. The journalist said that Sony could announce during the State of Play, which, according to his knowledge, will happen “at the end of September”..

Although Grubb emphasized that it is not certain whether the new version of the console will be announced at that time, but according to him, Sony’s presentation would be a great opportunity. However, he mentioned that PS5 Pro could be released a little earlier, and during State of Play the giant will announce its price, etc.

It is also worth noting that Grubb’s statement is consistent with what has been reported recently reported by Tom Henderson. On the Insider Gaming website, the journalist reported that game developers can now prepare their titles for PS5 Pro, and the console has a good chance of being presented in September. It would hit store shelves in November (starting with PlayStation 3, Sony usually releases its stationary consoles this month).

What improvements does the Pro version bring compared to the base PS5 version? According to Grubb, who refers to the reports of the website Wccftechthe upcoming hardware should provide a 45% increase in performance compared to PlayStation 5, including: thanks to faster memory. The journalist claims that the processor will not be different from the one found in the current “normal” PS5. The graphics system is expected to provide approximately 2-3 times better performance with active ray tracing.
