There have been multiple developments on the upcoming PS5 Pro recently. Here’s the most important thing in rapid fire to get you up to speed:

  • The PS5 Slim will hit shelves before the Pro version. The thin-line review by Sony was already confirmed in the FTC’s hearings against Microsoft earlier this year.
  • The PS5 Pro will likely launch in the holiday season of 2024. Like other PlayStation consoles, a November launch window seems reasonable.
  • It has recently been rumored that developers have started receiving PS5 Pro development kits. This could mean that the console has already been completed and has entered the early stages of production. More details are awaited.
  • Amazon listings have been updated to refer to the PlayStation 2020 as the PS5 Standard Edition. This could be Sony’s preparation for the launch of the PS5 Slim, but it could also indicate the presence of the Pro version.
  • The upcoming pro version won’t be an 8K gaming rig. Instead, leaks suggest that the device will be an impressive 4K console with more than 23 TFLOPs of display power. That’s more than double the PS5’s 10.28 TFLOPs.

The upcoming console from the Japanese tech giants will likely target 4K resolution at 60fps in most games. In addition, it may also offer new features such as path tracking support, improved AI optimization software, and much more.

It’s still difficult to guess exactly what features the upcoming PS5 Pro will come with. However, the console is expected to be displayed Detachable Blu-ray player As does the new PS5 Slim. We can expect an all-digital input for the Pro version, with a $70 add-on as an accessory.

Thus, unlike the two versions of the PS5 (disc and digital), where players had to choose between DVDs and digital downloads at the time of purchase and could not be changed later, the PlayStation 5 Pro will allow players to jump between the two versions. Distribution methods.

Sony is still mum about the more powerful mid-cycle update for the PS5. However, multiple sources have claimed that the home video game console will be released in 2024.

Given the company’s previous launch trends, the PS5 Pro could be unveiled over the summer, with an official debut around the holiday season. Some leaks have hinted at a November 2024 launch window. Although this is plausible, it is primarily based on speculation and the actual launch window may vary. We will update the article as soon as more concrete information emerges.

There have been some whispers about Sony dropping the PS5 Pro as well. Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, claimed that all the recent leaks about the mid-gen Pro update coming to the ninth generation gaming console are “not meaningful.” This is huge and could indicate that the Japanese tech giant is not planning a more robust mid-cycle update at all. But what will happen remains to be seen.


The PS5 Slim launched before the Pro

The PS5 Slim has already been announced. Slim modes offer minor improvements like a 1TB SSD, less footprint, and slightly improved front I/O. The disc version of the console is available for $500, while the digital version is $50 cheaper now at $449. Sony also announced a detachable drive for the console at $70.

Previously, Sony admitted in a federal court hearing (in the Microsoft v. FTC hearing) that it plans to launch a PS5 Slim later this year. Thus, the cheaper $400 PlayStation Slim may be here before the upcoming Pro model, according to recent developments.


PS5 Pro price

The consensus states that the PlayStation 5 Pro will be more expensive than the older PS5. However, it’s worth noting that the PS4 Pro launched at $399 in 2016, making it as expensive as the PS4 when it launched in 2013.

Thus, the new console could cost $499, which is the same price at which the PS5 Disc Edition debuted in 2020. But the slim variants were introduced at the same price. With the PS5 Pro release just around the corner, Sony has options to either launch a more powerful device or offer discounts on its slimline consoles.


Sony may find it makes sense to skip the PS5 Pro for this generation. PC computing hardware hasn’t improved much since the introduction of the PlayStation 5 back in 2020. So, there’s not much that console gamers are missing out on.
