Sony may have unintentionally revealed the design of its upcoming PS5 Pro. A recent graphic in a 30th-anniversary blog post from Sony Group Corp. featured a lineup of PlayStation console silhouettes. Among them, one console stood out as unfamiliar, catching the attention of fans. This unique design bears a striking resemblance to a recent leak shared by industry insider Billbil-kun on Dealabs. The leak depicts a PS5 Slim-like console with three distinctive stripes across the middle. The alignment between the leaked design and Sony’s blog post has fueled speculation about the PS5 Pro’s launch, with rumors suggesting a September unveiling. Analysts believe that the PS5 Pro could be released as early as November 2024, with first-party developers already working with development kits and third-party studios expected to follow suit. Some developers have been instructed to ensure their upcoming games are compatible with the PS5 Pro hardware by mid-September, further adding to the anticipation surrounding its reveal. With the PS5 Slim currently priced at $499, analysts expect the PS5 Pro to be priced higher, potentially around $600. This pricing expectation is based on rumors of significant hardware upgrades, including a 45% faster GPU, improved ray tracing capabilities, and enhanced frame rates. Leaked specifications suggest the PS5 Pro will be a significant leap in power compared to its predecessor, featuring a new AMD chip and improved cooling technology. The console is rumored to target smooth 60fps gameplay with ray tracing enabled, bringing a notable improvement in graphical performance. Although Sony has yet to officially confirm the PS5 Pro’s existence, the recent events have ignited excitement among gamers eagerly awaiting the next generation of PlayStation consoles.
