A new PlayStation 5 Pro mock-up render was shared online, providing a new look at the console's design that was leaked last week. As reported on X by NIB, the render based on the design leaked by billbil-kun was created by Reddit user Dramatic_Experience 6 and shows a model complete with the disc drive. According to the leaker, it is not yet known if such a model will be released, as the packaging they managed to take a look at only featured the console without a disc drive. Judging from the sketch shared by the leaker, this render feels pretty […]
The PlayStation 5 Pro's performance is expected to be in the ballpark of the Radeon 7700 XT GPU, but with some improvements in ray tracing performance, according to a well-known leaker. Setting expectations in check, well-known AMD leaker Kepler revealed on X that the new console's performance is close to the 7700 XT in rasterization and slightly faster in ray tracing. This information falls in line with everything we have heard so far, as the console is said to bring a significant ray tracing performance improvement over the base model.

The PlayStation 5 Pro design won't be much different that that of the current base model, according to a new report from a reliable leaker. Earlier today, well-known leaker billbil-kun provided some new information on the yet-to-be-released system, confirming that it will unsurprisingly be named PlayStation 5 Pro, judging from the front of the final packaging they were able to see. The front of the final packaging also revealed the console's design, which looks pretty much the same as the current base model, barring a few minor differences and a slightly thicker size. Interestingly enough, the PlayStation 5 Pro may […]
The PlayStation 5 Pro could come with 2TB of storage, according to rumors circulating online. Speaking during the latest episode of the Broken Silicon podcast, Moore's Law is Dead revealed that they have seen a PS5 Pro devkit and confirmed that it comes with 2TB of storage. While the storage space could be lower for the retail system, the fact that Microsoft is releasing an Xbox Series X with 2TB of storage suggests that Sony could do the same for what is effectively a premium gaming system. On a related note, the PlayStation 5 Pro is likely to be a […]
Despite the system having yet to be announced, the PlayStation 5 Pro is apparently still coming this year, according to a report from a reliable insider. During the latest Game Mess Mornings, Jeff Grubb discussed Sony's yet-to-be-revealed system, saying that, last he heard, the console is still coming out this year. In addition, the insider heard that there will probably be a State of Play presentation by the end of September.

The existence of the PS5 Pro was long discussed throughout 2024 thanks to various leaks and rumors, but the latest State of Play that aired in late May didn't feature any announcement for the new hardware. With Summer drawing to a close soon, some fans wondered whether the more powerful PlayStation 5 iteration had been delayed. However, at the Gamescom 2024 that's being held this week in Cologne, developers started talking. In a recent live stream, the Italian website Multiplayer mentioned that it had heard from a developer that they had delayed their game due to the upcoming launch of […]
Despite the CPU and RAM not seeing much of an improvement over the base model's, the PlayStation 5 Pro will feel like a 100% more powerful than ther regular PS5 thanks to upscaling. During the latest episode of the Moore's Law is Dead Broken Silicon podcast, Alderon Games founder Matthew Cassells discussed the yet-to-be-revealed mid-generation refresh system, and how its power and the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler will improve games. Talking specifically about the studio's games, the console could allow them to activate ray tracing if the game already manages to run at 60 FPS on the base model […]
The PlayStation 5 Pro could definitely offer up to four times the ray tracing performance of the base model claimed in leaked documents, as some of the system's new ray tracing features will indeed bring considerable performance improvements. During the latest episode of their weekly podcast, the tech experts at Digital Foundry took a look at some of the leaked new ray tracing features that will be included in the RDNA 4 architecture and will make their way onto the upcoming console, highlighting how some of them, such as double ray tracing intersect engine and BVH footprint improvement could indeed lead to […]
There are ten reasons why a proper PlayStation Showcase is happening in September, according to a well put-together analysis shared online. Analyst William R. Aguilar, who heard from trustworthy sources that the September presentation will be a Showcase, would be 90% sure it would be one anyway due to ten reasons. PlayStation is required by their fiduciary responsibility to outline to their shareholders the products they intend to sell next year before the year arrives. By this point in 2023, we already knew about Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, Concord, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and Helldivers 2 coming in […]
The PlayStation 5 Pro codename Trinity was discovered in No Man's Sky's latest update, along with details on the graphics improvements the game will feature when running on the yet-to-be-announced hardware refresh. As reported by ThatBomberBoi, the new update for the popular game features a graphics preset for Trinity, the PlayStation 5 Pro codename, which is yet another sort of confirmation that the system is coming despite not having been revealed yet. As for the improvements No Man's Sky will sport when running on the system, it seems like there won't be any major improvement outside of less aggressive dynamic […]
The PlayStation 5 Pro is still on track for 2024, according to information shared with developers earlier this week. A new report posted today on Insider Gaming provides some clarification on a tweet shared by Tom Henderson yesterday, which seemed to hint at a possible 2025 release for the mid-generation refresh console by Sony. According to the insider, developers can submit their applications supporting the PlayStation 5 Pro to CertOps (Platform Certification & Operations) on July 30th, a date that was finalized as far back as 18 months ago. Additionally, all applications for the PS5 on games that will be […]
Sony's rumored upgraded PlayStation 5 model, the PS5 Pro, might very well not release later this year. At least, that's what reputable leakier Tom Henderson appears to have been suggesting on X some hours ago. When asked about a possible September announcement for the long-rumored Pro model, Henderson replied - "If it releases this year!". While this doesn't directly confirm that the PS5 Pro model won't be launching this year (heck, Sony hasn't even commented on the model's existence), this reply is somewhat interesting as Henderson has long been saying that Sony is planning a holiday 2024 release for the […]
