The PlayStation 5 Pro CPU is unlikely to improve performance in CPU-bound titles and may not even be enough to implement 40 FPS modes that are impossible on the base model. In a recent video, the tech experts at Digital Foundry talked about the CPU of the upcoming mid-generation refresh console from Sony, saying that its 10% performance boost over the base model's CPU is unlikely to boost performance in CPU-bound titles or allow developers to implement 40 FPS modes in such games, as developers would need way more CPU overhead to achieve a 33% performance boost. It is more […]
The official Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut PC system requirements were revealed today, highlighting how the game will run well on a wide range of system specifications as well as making it shine on high-end PCs. The game's system requirements, which can be found below, detail which CPU, GPU, and amount of RAM are required for multiple presets and average performance.

As […]

While many are voicing their doubts regarding the need for the PlayStation 5 Pro, the console is somewhat needed to push visuals and performance forward for current generation games, as the PlayStation 5 having some sort of "untapped" potential is just an internet myth. Speaking on X/Twitter, well-known AMD leaker Kepler commented on the yet-to-be-revealed mid-generation hardware from Sony and the untapped potential of the base model, saying that this isn't the 90s or 2000s anymore when consoles' hardware was esoteric like the Nintendo 64 and the PlayStation 3. Over the last few decades, hardware vendors have somewhat homogenized the […]

Interesting new details include substantially faster rendering, up to three times improved ray tracing performance, and Sony's rumored own upscaling tech - PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). According to Eurogamer's Digital Foundry, this upscaling tech can allow for greatly […]
The PlayStation 5 Pro has yet to be officially unveiled, but it may release as soon as September 2024, judging from a report shared online today.

As such, the console should be expected to become available from that month, although it is way more likely to launch in the following months, as Sony has been launching new home hardware between September and November for some years. For the rest, The Verge's report includes information […]
While he may not be as well known as, say, Jim Ryan, longtime PlayStation fans will no doubt recognize the name Gio Corsi. As PlayStation’s former senior director of third party production, Corsi spearheaded a lot of initiatives – he was particularly noted as a booster of the PS Vita and was responsible for bringing a lot of Japanese Vita titles to a worldwide audience. He also was responsible for jumpstarting interest in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise worldwide after the series initially kind of sputtered out in the West. Corsi left PlayStation a few years ago and has worked […]
