There is a lot of news about new hardware in the gaming community. At the highest point of this rock is the rumor of PS5 Pro, which is still like a “story”, far from reality. Gamers and experts have been caught in the web of its leaked photos, developers’ hidden comments, and fans’ unique theories. But amidst all the excitement and anticipation, what concrete information have we got about the guest, who is likely to be from Sony’s famous PlayStation lineup?
The Persistent Whir of the Rumor Mill
There is no official confirmation from Sony yet, but people in the tech world are saying that PS5 Pro is not just an idea, but is actually a project being made. Those who have given correct information earlier also are saying again and again that PS5 Pro is definitely coming, the question is only of “when”. Some are also saying that it could be launched in the latter part of 2024. The calculations that have been proposed at this time reflect past trends, such as there being a gap of 3 years between PS4 and PS4 Pro.
The information given by Gaming analyst Jeff Grubb and Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson gives further details to the proposed launch window. But remember that till the time Sony is out there nothing has been officially said, till then these charts are based only on some sources.
The Financial Factor: What Might the PS5 Pro Cost Us?
The price of PS5 Pro is still not clear. If we look at the past times when the price of PS4 Pro was equal to the launch price of the base model PS4, then it seems that the price of PS5 Pro could also be closer to the current PS5 price of $499. The current pricing that Sony has done for its PSVR2 shows that it does not hesitate in keeping a premium price for its new gadgets. So, customers should be prepared for the fact that they may have to pay $599 or more for the PS5 Pro.
Potential Specifications: A Look Under the Hood
The technical aspects of the PS5 Pro are the focus of this article. The words you want in the chat are “8K” and “ray tracing.” Both of these show some of the expectations from Sony’s PS5 Pro and hint at big changes to come, promising improvements in visuals and performance.
A recent leak has suggested that the PS5 Pro will have 67 teraflops of computing power, far surpassing the base PS5’s 10.28 teraflops. This information has been given by sources like YouTuber ‘Moors Law is Dead’ and Insider Gaming and IGN, which are comparing the console to more powerful gaming PCs.
Feasible Features and Early Outlooks
There have been a lot of discussions on the forums about the PS5 Pro’s exciting features, but it is expected that the user experience of the PS5 Pro will be similar to the original PS5. This means that the same games library will be able to run as is and the existing DualSense controller will still be able to be used. There is talk that the PS5 Pro will easily integrate with the PSVR2 headset, making the virtual reality gaming experience even more immersive.
As per expectations, PS5 Pro will be targeted at gamers who want better performance and resolution. But it is also important to understand that this will not make the original PS5 useless, but will provide a better experience for those gamers who are ready to spend money on new and advanced technology. Living with the PS4 Pro and its lower-powered versions gives us a glimpse of what the future may hold: a console family that will endure, and embrace all types of gamers.
Final Thoughts
The noise that is being made regarding the launch of PS5 Pro is really looking quite exciting. The timing of this rumored arrival is very interesting, as developers are just starting to fully utilize the potential of the PS5. But currently, some game releases that are struggling with technical issues may benefit from the extra power of the PS5 Pro.
But keep in mind that all this is based on some speculations as Sony has not given any official declaration regarding the same. Right now, the PS5 Pro is just a set of hopes, expectations and wishes, which will either be confirmed or denied by the giant of gaming consoles. So let’s keep our eyes open, keep an eye on expectations and prepare for savings – if that happens.
