There has been a lot of buzz around the highly anticipated release of the PS5 Pro, but when can we expect it to hit the market? New information has recently surfaced about Sony's upgraded version of the PS5, and it seems like an official announcement is just around the corner, possibly as early as next month.
While Sony has yet to formally announce the PS5 Pro, it has been a poorly kept secret for quite some time now. Rumors have been circulating since dev kits were reportedly sent out months ago. And now, with reliable sources leaking details and even a potential retail packaging image of the console, it's hard to deny that something big is on the way. Earlier this year, tech specs were leaked, revealing that the PS5 Pro will have a GPU with 33.5 teraflops and a new in-house upscaling technology developed by Sony.
But that's not all - according to the same source that leaked those specs, the dev kit version of the PS5 Pro will come with a whopping 2TB of storage. This new information was revealed during a recent episode of the Broken Silicon podcast, where YouTuber Moore's Law Is Dead claimed to have seen the dev kit in person during a meeting with a source. While this amount of storage may not make its way into the retail version, it's likely that Sony will want to match Microsoft's upcoming 2TB version of the Xbox Series X, which is set to be released in October.
In addition, Moore's Law Is Dead also noted that the PS5 Pro dev kit has the same two-prong power connector as the original PS5, suggesting that it won't require any additional power to run. He even mentions that it will likely be a quiet and cool-running machine, as they are not pushing it to its limits.
Of course, not everything from a dev kit makes it into the final release, but this new information is a strong indicator of the console's capabilities. And with games taking up more and more storage space these days, the possibility of having 2TB of storage is definitely exciting.
While Sony has yet to announce the PS5 Pro, it is expected to be revealed in September, possibly during a State of Play presentation. The company will also have a presence at the Tokyo Game Show next month, so it's possible that we may see the console there as well.
The only major detail that is still unknown is the price of the PS5 Pro. Considering that the base PS5 Slim is currently priced at £479.99, it's safe to assume that the Pro version will be upwards of £500. But with the release date approaching, we can expect more information to be revealed soon.
