Sony is making the PS5 Pro official, just days after teasing the next console. The hardware inside is designed to improve PS5 games.
The PS5 Pro is official. After months of leaks, Sony just announced a more powerful PS5 console during a special technical presentation. Mark Cerny, the lead architect of the PS5 console, says the PS5 Pro improves on the original console in three key ways: a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and custom AI-driven upscaling. The PS5 Pro will launch on November 7th, priced at $699.99, and it looks similar to the slim version of the PS5 — just like recent leaks suggested it would.
Sony’s goal of fidelity-like graphics at performance frame rates will be available in games like Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Sony is also including a PS5 Pro “Game Boost” option, which will apply to more than 8,500 backward-compatible PS4 games for the PS5 Pro. “This feature may stabilize or improve the performance of supported PS4 and PS5 games,” says Hideaki Nishino, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s platform business group.
