PlayStation 5 Pro Release Set for September at $600
Highly anticipated, the release of Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro is rumored to arrive in September, according to multiple developers. Although Sony hasn’t officially confirmed any details about the upgraded hardware, leaks have painted a solid picture of the potential performance improvements.
Leaked Details and Potential Price Tag
According to sources speaking to Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb, Sony will likely hold a new State of Play stream before the end of September, where the PlayStation 5 Pro might be revealed. Grubb also floated a potential $600 price tag, a $100 premium over the PS4 Slim that includes the optical drive.
Performance Improvements and Upgrades
The new model’s CPU performance is expected to closely resemble the standard console, but it reportedly features significant GPU and AI enhancements. Developers can leverage these upgrades to offer a noticeably improved experience. The new hardware will handle Unreal Engine 5 significantly better than the standard PS5.
Additionally, PlayStation “Spectral Super Resolution” will use upscaling to enhance image quality from lower rendering resolutions. This technology could enable more extensive use of ray tracing or higher frame rates and sharper visuals in some titles.
Impact on the Gaming Industry
If the PlayStation 5 Pro is released in September, Sony would be jumping ahead of console rivals. Information regarding a potential Xbox mid-generation refresh remains scarce, while Nintendo is expected to reveal its next-generation Switch console in the coming months, but with an expected release sometime in 2025.
