Update from Tom Henderson:

Whether or not a PlayStation 5 Pro console is desired enough in the current market remains to be seen, but as of writing, the PlayStation 5 Pro is in development and is targeting a November 2024 release date.

 

[REDRZA MWS]

Day 0 for Pro Slim.

 

[splattered]

If true I should sell my ps5 now while it's actually worth something to put towards the price of a pro. Hmmm

 

[LostDonkey]

Is the pro slim as pro as the pro or is it not as pro as the proper pro because it's a slim pro?

How pro can you go?

 

[Fake]

Tom really got much of those leaks correct.

 

[lh032]

just release this year man, come on

 

[dorkimoe]

It’s so wonderful that we have to get mid gen refreshes just to maybe get 60fps in most games now sigh

 

[Elder Legend]

Not surprised one bit. Sounds about right. New consoles/skus always come during Holiday season.

 

[LostDonkey]

If true I should sell my ps5 now while it's actually worth something to put towards the price of a pro. Hmmm

Or you can just put £10 a week into a sock under your mattress or in that magpies nest in the tree outside and you'll have enough by the time release comes.

If the magpies don't spend it on drugs.

then you won't have a ps5 for a year+... in any case the value of ps5s are not going to go down, on ps4 80%+ of sales were base models.

 

[veterangamerUK]

Maybe by then crossgen releases will have stopped

 

[UnNamed]

Good.
So I can play my PS4 games even better than before.

 

[Ozriel]

Day 1, of course.

Semiconductor supplies have stabilized, so at least we shouldn’t expect crazy shortages at launch.

 

[damidu]

bring it on. wished it was this november tbh.

 

[Zuzu]

Great. Can’t wait!

 

[Represent.]

Just in time for GTA 6

Will buy one for that and Neil DruckGod's new game

 

[Cornbread78]

So Switch2 & PS5 Pro next year. I so, I can manage that....

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Do I need 4?

 

[Bo_Hazem]

 

[SenkiDala]

I'm not at all for those "Pro" versions. It made the new generation look just "good", no gap between generations anymore...

Games are looking AWESOME, after 3 years of release we are still far from reaching the pinacle of what they can do so...

But when those bitches release, I can't hold and just buy them... But I still really hope this isn't true.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Keep releasing new consoles, never update part of your catalogue to support them. Thanks, Sony.

 

[German Hops]

I need it now, though.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I need it now, though.

 

[squarealex]

The only thing i'm a bit a fear... is the size...

PlayStation 5 Classic is already a monster...

 

[Markio128]

I’m all in for the pro. I’m thinking PSVR2 visuals will probably get a bump from the new hardware (as with PSVR1 and the PS4 pro) - with GT7 at the forefront of my mind.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Do I need 4?

 

[HTK]

I don’t understand what’s new compared to what was said a month ago? I though he was gonna spill some new info….

 

[Xtib81]

Day 0. Gimme that power!! There's no scenario on earth where I'm playing AAA games at 30fps until 2028.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I wanted the pro to release November 2023.

 

[LostDonkey]

I don’t understand what’s new compared to what was said a month ago? I though he was gonna spill some new info….

He used bigger words this time round, like "targeting" and "development"

 

[twilo99]

Why does everyone want a “pro” so much when the current version runs everything just fine?

 

[M.W.]

Day 0. Gimme that power!! There's no scenario on earth where I'm playing AAA games at 30fps until 2028.

This. 30fps isn't playable.

Oh it's true alright. Tom is very accurate with his past info. Also, the current consoles are pretty weak by today's standards. Mid gen upgrade is not a surprise.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

People want 4K/60 with RT lol

I invested in a new PC this year so I might skip the pro, just don’t see the point if Sony is only going to release 1-2 first party games a year.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Why does everyone want a “pro” so much when the current version runs everything just fine?

Personally want the best performance I can get for Wolverine and beyond

I don't blame anyone who is content with the current PS5 though

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Tell that to my 30+ hour Remnant 2 playtrough. It dips like hell to low 30s on N'Erud and Labirinth when playing on balanced and even performance mode. Even the 30fps quality mode is not perfect! I want... no I need that PS5 Pro like today!

 

[skit_data]

Anyone here got a good sense of when dev kits might be sent out? Sometime around spring next year?
Would be nice if Cerny did something similar to Road to PS5 sometime around March

 

[UltimaKilo]

Seems. bit late if they want a big holiday rush, but not implausible.

According to rumors several 1st party studios have them and many more scheduled to receive them in Oct, its when to expect a lot more leaks and detailed specs

 

[Elder Legend]

How is that late? PS4 Pro was also released in November of 2016 if I am not mistaken.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Correct! But the PS4 Pro was released exactly 3 years into the PS4 life cycle while supposedly this PS5 Pro releases 4 years into the PS5 life cycle.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Trade up for Slim and trade up again for the Pro.

That's my plan

 

[HTK]

Like what reality do you actually live in?

There are 30FPS games.
There are 60FPS games that can't maintain a solid 60FPS.
There are 120FPS games that definitely DO NOT stay at 120FPS.

No solid frame rates unless its 30FPS and if you're playing a 60FPS or 120FPS game it's not a solid fps they constantly dip below expectations and on top of that sacrifice resolution.

Where is this world that you live in where things are just fine? Because I haven't seen it yet in actual reality of games I've been playing.

 

[FingerBang]

Interesting article, though the most shocking part to me is this one

The next time you hear on a PlayStation hardware report from me will likely be on the PlayStation 6 – Which is currently targeting a 2028 release date.

That would be 8 years for the current generation. And although I'm not too worried about the current machines being too bottlenecked (especially with a PS5 Pro coming out), it's wild to think that this would be such a long generation.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Day one bbe!

Launch it with wolverine or some other big first party exclusive so I can get the best running version and drool.

 

[Moses85]

 

[Horseganador]

DAY ONE

 

[Bo_Hazem]

The only thing i'm a bit a fear... is the size...

PlayStation 5 Classic is already a monster...

All respect to size concerns, but do you guys live in sleep capsules?

 

[Kings Field]

Day 1 of course.
