The gaming community is teeming with speculation about the highly anticipated PlayStation 5 Pro (PS5 Pro). Although Sony Interactive Entertainment has not yet verified any specifics, a well-known source in the field of hardware information disclosure has revealed some features and specifications of Sony’s next mid-generation console, the PS5 Pro. Moreover, this file confirms the previous information about the Trinity codename for the PS5 Pro project.
It’s important to note that Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson and Digital Foundry have both confirmed the leaked PS5 Pro specs which added more fuel to the fire. IGN has also reported on the PS5 Pro leaks, confirming the authenticity of the leaked specs and Sony’s reported plans for a fourth-quarter 2024 release.
Potential Upgrades
One of the most exciting rumors is that the PS5 Pro could be so powerful that 8K gaming becomes a reality. This would be a significant leap from the current 4K gaming capabilities of the PS5, offering unprecedented detail and immersion. Additionally, the PS5 Pro could potentially offer three times the performance of the current PS5, making for smoother gameplay and more complex graphics. Moreover, the PS5 Pro could be getting an AI boost thanks to a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) from AMD, according to new spec leaks. This could potentially enhance in-game AI, making for more realistic and challenging gameplay.
Following the rumors, there has been a lot of speculation surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6, perhaps the most anticipated game in history, and how this game will look like and perform on the PS5 Pro. There has been speculation that GTA 6 will run at 60 FPS on the PS5 Pro. However, Digital Foundry tech expert Richard Leadbetter has cast some doubt over this, pointing towards the limited CPU improvement as the reason that’s unlikely to be the case.
Some also suggest that Sony will leverage the hype surrounding the new Rockstar Games title to promote the PS5 Pro as the “best place to play” GTA 6.
Sony’s Response
Following the recent leaks of PS5 Pro specifications, Sony Interactive Entertainment has reportedly launched a thorough investigation. This suggests that the leaked specs could have some basis in reality, although gamers will have to wait for official confirmation. Furthermore, PS5 Pro development kits are now reportedly being distributed to developers, indicating that game development for the new console is already underway.
As for the competition, Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, stated some time ago that there are currently no plans for a mid-generation refresh of the Xbox Series X|S consoles, contrasting with the rumors surrounding the PS5 Pro. What this means for the future of Xbox in the current generation is up to speculation.
While these rumors are exciting, it’s important to remember that they are just that – rumors. For the most accurate information, we should wait for official announcements from Sony. The PS5 Pro promises to be a game-changer, and the gaming community eagerly awaits more news.
