There has been a lot of speculation and excitement surrounding the potential release of the PS5 Pro. Many are wondering if Sony will unveil a major re-design for the upgraded console. Well, according to reports from developers at Gamescom, it may be happening very soon.
Despite numerous leaks and rumors about the console, Sony has yet to confirm the existence of the PS5 Pro. However, the strongest evidence so far came in April when Sony took action against a video that leaked the console's specifications. The video revealed that the PS5 Pro would have a 45% faster rendering performance, a GPU with 33.5 teraflops, and a new in-house upscaling technology called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution. Since then, there have been even more leaked details, including upgrades for ray-tracing.
At Gamescom last week, there were new rumblings suggesting that Sony may be preparing to unveil the console very soon. According to several reports, developers at the gaming convention openly discussed the PS5 Pro and even claimed to have access to its final specifications. These rumors began with a livestream from an Italian gaming website where a reporter stated that a developer had postponed their game's release due to the upcoming launch of the PS5 Pro. While no specific date was mentioned, it was rumored that the console could launch either later this year or early 2025.
Another report from Wccftech echoed similar claims, stating that a different unnamed developer at the event had also received PS5 Pro specifications. They were reportedly confident that the new hardware would significantly improve the performance of games using the Unreal Engine 5 compared to the original console. This seems to suggest that the console's specifications and details are already in the hands of a large number of game makers.
During Gamescom, a developer hinted to GameCentral that a State of Play event may take place in September. They mentioned that this is why they had embargoed their preview until then, although they did not mention anything about the PS5 Pro. These hints and rumors all seem to point towards an imminent announcement from Sony. Looking back at the release of the PS4 Pro, which was announced on September 7, 2016, and launched on November 10, it is possible that the PS5 Pro could follow a similar release strategy.
If the PS5 Pro is indeed announced in September, it is likely that Sony will showcase the console at the Tokyo Game Show, which is scheduled to take place from September 26-29. This would be a major presence for Sony at the event, and a new console would certainly be a reason for them to go all-out. Another possibility is a November launch, which would make sense considering the lack of major exclusive titles for the PlayStation 5 for the rest of the year. The only major release currently announced is Astro Bot for next month, which could potentially serve as a showcase for the PS5 Pro.
