The internet is buzzing with excitement as the first design leak for Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro has emerged. According to prominent industry insider Billbil-kun, known for accurately predicting free PS Plus games, the PS5 Pro’s design is locked in and will be revealed during the first half of September 2024. This timeline coincides with the Tokyo Games Show, where attendees might get their first hands-on experience with the new console.
The leaked design, a sketched image of the console’s shell, resembles the PS5 Slim variant. It features a slimmer profile with two USB-C ports, a power button, and three black stripes on the front, compared to the single stripe on the PS5 Slim. Billbil-kun believes the PS5 Pro will allow for customization, with removable covers for a personalized look.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the leak is the absence of a disc drive. According to the source, the console they saw did not feature a disc drive, suggesting a disc-less version as the initial release. However, a separate disc drive will be available for purchase, offering users the flexibility to choose their preferred format. The leak also confirms that the PS5 Pro will use the same dual-sense controller.
Previous rumors have hinted at the PS5 Pro boasting a 2TB Gen 4 SSD and a power draw of around 200W. These features combined with the leaked design suggest a powerful console that will push the boundaries of gaming performance. While Sony has yet to officially confirm these details, the leaks offer a tantalizing glimpse into the future of PlayStation gaming. With the official reveal just months away, the gaming world eagerly awaits the arrival of the PS5 Pro.
