The Sony PlayStation 5 Pro is touted as the world's most powerful game console, stirring much speculation recently. Officially set for unveiling later this year, the exact release date was previously undisclosed. However, a new insider leak now suggests that the PS5 Pro might debut in the latter part of Q4 2024.
Playstation 5 Evolution
Sony has established itself at the pinnacle of game consoles with the evolution of the PlayStation series. The next significant release is the Sony PlayStation 5 Pro, a console that has been surrounded by rumors for several months. Initially, it was speculated to launch in the second half of 2024, but recent reports hint that the release might be delayed until the end of the year, potentially extending into early 2025. Insider Gaming has now provided new details outlining the anticipated release timeline for the PS5 Pro.
Developer Timeline and Game Optimization
According to insider information, game developers can start submitting games and software to Sony’s Platform Certification & Operations team from the end of July 2024. Furthermore, any game released after September 15, 2024, must be optimized for the Sony PlayStation 5 Pro. These new timelines suggest a possible launch of the PS5 Pro by year-end. However, it is essential to note that these details do not guarantee the console's release within Q4 2024.
Expected Announcement and Specifications
Rumors previously indicated that Sony planned to release the PS5 Pro in November, and the new insider information aligns with this expectation. It is believed that an official announcement will come in September.
Leaked specs reveal that the PS5 Pro boasts more power than the PS5. It is expected to retain the same 8-core Zen 2 processor with a clock speed of up to 3.85GHz, making it faster than the standard PS5. Additionally, it features a new RDNA 3 graphics chip with 30 WGPs, 16GB GDDR6 RAM with a bandwidth increased by 28% to 576Gbps. More impressive features and functionalities are anticipated, which will be detailed when Sony makes an official announcement.
