The PlayStation is approaching its 30th anniversary of the first PlayStation console, and Hideaki Nishino on the PlayStation blog has announced that there will be a PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection. The aesthetic is that of the PlayStation 1 and pays homage to the console that launched on December 3, 1994. The collection will be sold in "highly limited supply," as the consoles won't only just come with the limited edition skin but will come with original PlayStation controller-style cable housing, a sticker, and a Paperclip, as an example. Not only will the PlayStation 5 Pro get this bundle, but the […]

A PlayStation 5 Pro leaked benchmark shared online a few hours ago provides a good overview of how games will be improved when running on the soon-to-be-released new console. An unspecified developer that was consulted on previous leaks sent Moore's Law is Dead early testing footage of one of their games that compares it running on base and Pro models side-by-side, complete with displayed framerates. According to the footage, this game uses a 1080p-1600p dynamic resolution range with a mix of medium and high settings and runs between 45 and 60 FPS on the base model. The same game, on […]
Despite its increased power over the original mode, the PlayStation 5 Pro may not be able to run the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI at 60 frames per second for a few reasons. Speaking with IGN, Digital Foundry's Richard Leadbetter revealed that the new console's CPU, which is the same one that powers the base PS5, could prevent the system from running the game at 60 frames per second if Rockstar Games is targeting 30 FPS on the base model. Most entries in the series have always run complex simulations that push the CPU hard, and this is why […]
Gamers were very surprised to learn the price of the PS5 Pro. Rumors suggested it could be around $500, but Sony went much more expensive. The mid-generation console refresh will be available in retail stores from November 7 at $700 (€800 in Europe), and that's without the disc drive and vertical stand. By comparison, the PlayStation 4 Pro only cost $/€ 399, the same as the base PlayStation 4 at launch. Will this massive price hike hurt the sales of the PS5 Pro? We asked our good friend Rhys Elliott, a Games Industry Analyst at MIDiA Research. Elliott provided a […]
An early PlayStation 5 Pro comparison video shared online earlier today highlights the visual improvements the new console will bring to select existing titles. The video, which was put together by Cycu1, is based on the footage shown during yesterday's technical presentation, and, as such, it may not properly represent how these games will run on the actual hardware. Even so, the comparison makes it clear that some games will benefit more than others, such as Hogwarts Legacy, which will use the console's capabilities to offer better ray tracing with more solid performance, and Gran Turismo 7, which will also […]
The PlayStation 5 Pro's high price raised quite a few eyebrows when it was revealed at the end of yesterday's technical presentation, but players may need to look at things differently to understand the system's pricing. Following the system's reveal, former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra commented on the console's price, suggesting to see things from a different point of view. Like any mid-generation hardware refresh, the PS5 Pro is about existing users upgrading. As such, when the teams evaluate the cost, they don't want to lose money on each console to avoid putting pressure on other parts of the business […]
It's been less than a day since the official announcement of the PS5 Pro console. The biggest news (largely a shock) was certainly Sony's pricing choice, but when it came to the hardware features, they were mostly in line with the leaks. As early as July 2023, insider Tom Henderson mentioned that the upgraded PlayStation 5 would feature 'accelerated ray tracing'. This March, YouTube channel Moore's Law Is Dead revealed from a leaked document that ray tracing performance could be twice or even thrice as fast as the original PlayStation 5, which was confirmed yesterday by Sony: Advanced Ray Tracing: […]

Renowned leaker billbill-kun shared the first look at the PS5 Pro earlier this week, and Sony has now basically confirmed the design as part of PlayStation's 30th anniversary blog post. In the celebratory image, Sony sneakily added a mockup that seems very much in line with the leaked one. While reporting the story, The Verge's Tom Warren said that developers have been told all games launched on or after September 16 will have to support the PlayStation 5 Pro, hinting at an inbound announcement. Insider Tom Henderson added that the current plan is to launch the mid-generation console refresh in […]
The PlayStation 5 Pro is going to be revealed early next week, according to rumors circulating online. Lunatic Ignus, who proved to be a somewhat reliable leaker in the past few months, correctly revealing, among other things, May's State of Play and Black Myth: Wukong expansions before the official announcements, revealed today on their Discord server that the mid-generation refresh system from Sony is getting revealed next week, possibly on Tuesday or Wednesday. The console's reveal will be followed by a State of Play presentation later in the month, which will feature first-party games and potentially a "world premiere", although […]
