PS5 Pro | Version, price and specifications

Whispers that new PS5 models are on the way are getting louder.

Historically, PlayStation has been used to updating its console somewhere in the middle of a generation. This has been the case since the first PS1, with the launch of the Slim models (smaller, more compact, and usually more affordable).

In the PS4 generation, there was an extra model in addition to the Slim. In November 2016, the PS4 Pro hit the stores, which is a more powerful version of the console that offers better performance and precision in all games. This was the first time Sony released a more powerful version of the console.

It is expected to repeat this feat in the PS5 generation.

PS5 Pro | Release date

Latest rumor coming from indoor games indicates that PS5 Pro is scheduled to launch in late 2024. If so, the console will hit stores about 4 years after the original PS5 was released.

For comparison, the PS4 Pro hit stores 3 years after the original model. The gap between PS5 and PS5 Pro will be even longer, if the rumor is true. Considering that PS5 stock has been in trouble until early 2023, it makes sense that Sony would want to wait a while to launch the new model.

PS5 Pro | price

a PS5 Pro price is still unknown. However, we can take a look at the price difference between the PS4 Pro and the regular PS4 to get an idea of ​​what to expect. PS4 Pro launched at a cost of 399 euros. The price difference for the regular PS4 model was €100.

If this price difference is maintained in the PS5 generation, we can conclude The price of the PS5 Pro will be 649 euros, 100 euros more than the PS5 (which currently costs 549 euros in the standard model). We don’t know if Sony also intends to release a discless PS5 Pro model, as it did with the regular PS5.

There is also a possibility that Sony will lower the price of the PS5 by the end of 2024. According to another rumor, Sony will release a new PS5 model later this year in which the disc player can be removed. This model is allegedly cheaper to manufacture. It remains to be seen if the consumer price will also be lower.

PS5 Pro | Specifications and features

The console will definitely be more powerful than the regular PS5, but for now, there are no details on its specifications. The standard PS5 has 10.3 teraflops of computational power. So the PS5 Pro should have more than this to live up to its name.

The regular PS5 model struggled to run games natively in 4K and handle RTX. The PS5 Pro should be better able to handle these issues thanks to its extra power. Again, we can look to the PS4 and PS4 Pro to get an idea of ​​what to expect.
