PS5 Pro and PS5… amateur? | Image: Sony
On September 10th, PlayStation held a “technical presentation” that confirmed the long-rumored PS5 Pro’s existence and souped-up specs, like a buffed GPU, Wi-Fi 7, and support for Sony’s AI-driven upscaling technology, PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, or PSSR. It will also come with features like PS5 Pro Game Boost to improve the performance of supported PS4 or PS5 games and enhanced image quality for PS4 games to offer higher resolution on “select” PS4 titles.
The presentation was hosted by PlayStation architect Mark Cerny and lasted a brisk nine minutes before announcing the PS5 Pro’s $699.99 price and launch date, November 7th, 2024. Preorders will start on September 26th.
Earlier this year, sources confirmed to The Verge that developers were being asked to ensure their games were compatible with the improved system, and the rumor mill picked up steam last month with a leaked illustration of what it supposedly looked like. Then, last week, Sony itself may have accidentally or on purpose shared what looked to be a PS5 Pro in its post celebrating 30 years of PlayStation history.
But now, Sony has put those rumors to bed. Stay tuned here for all the updates.
