Sony just revealed the new PS5 Pro console, said to be the most advanced and innovative console hardware to date. Including the price, there are some key highlights that need to be focused on, which were discussed in a recent presentation. First, let’s talk about its design aspects.
The PS5 Pro is similar to the PS5 with some minor changes. The height and width are the same as the original PS5, despite its upgrades. The PS5 Pro has three black stripes on both sides which distinguish it. The PS5 Pro is available as a disc-less console, so gamers need to purchase a separate disk drive to use physical disks. As it is the same as the PS5, it fits perfectly within the PS5 family of products and is compatible with PS5 accessories like PlayStation VR2, Portal, DualSense wireless controller, and headsets. The UI and network services will also remain the same as the PS5.
Talking about its hardware upgrades, the company claims a significantly larger GPU that has 67% more Compute Units than the current PS5 console and 28% faster memory, enabling up to 45% faster rendering for gameplay, making the experience much smoother.
The advanced ray tracing in the console provides more dynamic reflection and refraction of light. Upgrades allow ray tracing calculations at double or triple the speed of the PS5.
PlayStation introduced new PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), an AI-powered upscaling that uses machine learning-based technology to provide crystal sharp image clarity by adding an extraordinary amount of detail inside the game’s atmosphere. These three features are called the “big three” by PlayStation lead architect Mark Cerny because these features will drastically change the PS5 Pro at a performance level. In PS5, for a greater gaming experience, 75% of players choose Performance mode and 25% choose Fidelity mode. With the new PS5 Pro, they aim to bridge this gap by upgrading the overall specs to the next level that can deliver higher frame rates and visually stunning graphics at the same time.
Besides this, the PS5 Pro will boast Wi-Fi 7, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) to help reduce screen tearing, 2TB SSD storage, and 8K gaming on supported devices. It also hosts PS5 Pro Game Boost, supported by 8,500 PS4-PS5 games. These features can make existing games leverage the upgraded specs of the console for more stabilized or improved performance, along with enhanced image quality. PS4 games will be able to improve the resolution on some PS4 games.
PlayStation has announced that several games, including Alan Wake 2, Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, Demon’s Souls, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Gran Turismo 7, Hogwarts Legacy, Horizon Forbidden West, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, The Crew Motorfest, The First Descendant, and The Last of Us Part II Remastered, will be patched with free software updates for gamers to take advantage of PS5 Pro’s features. These games can be identified with a PS5 Pro Enhanced label within their title.
The PS5 Pro will launch on November 7, 2024. Preorders will begin on September 26, 2024, with a $700 price tag. Gamers will receive a copy of Astro’s Playroom pre-installed with a DualSense wireless controller with the PS5 Pro purchase.
