Sony is gearing up for a major announcement regarding its next-gen console, the PlayStation 5 Pro. The company has scheduled a “PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation” for September 10 (today), which will feature Mark Cerny, the lead architect behind the PS5. This event, set to run for just nine minutes, aims to showcase innovations in gaming technology, likely signaling the arrival of the highly anticipated PS5 Pro.
What’s Happening & Why This Matters
Speculation about a PS5 Pro has been swirling for weeks, with leaks and rumors pointing toward a console that offers substantial upgrades over the current PS5. Recent leaks included sketches that suggest a slightly thicker design for the new console. Moreover, Sony hinted at the PS5 Pro in a blog post celebrating PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, which featured an unfamiliar PS5 icon, further fueling speculation.
The PS5 Pro is rumored to bring a powerful computing upgrade, enabling support for 8K resolution and providing a more stable frame rate in 4K gaming. This new model is expected to render graphics up to 45% faster than the existing PS5, potentially offering a much-improved gaming experience for users who prioritize high performance and cutting-edge visuals. However, these enhancements may come at a higher cost. While last year’s PS5 hardware refresh involved a slimmer model with a reduced volume, Sony maintained the price at $499 for the disc version and $449 for the digital edition. The Pro version, however, may introduce a higher price point.
Sony’s presentation is set to stream live at 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT on the official PlayStation YouTube channel. This event has sparked excitement among gaming enthusiasts eager to see what Sony has in store.
