Wait for PS5 Pro May Be Longer Than Expected

Highlights

  • One insider doubts that Sony will release the PlayStation 5 during the 2024 holiday season.
  • Leaked documents about the new console leaked in March, detailing substantial performance improvements over the current PS5.
  • Sony may delay the PS5 Pro due to a lack of first-party triple-A games releasing in 2024.

As a dedicated PlayStation fan with a deep appreciation for gaming history and industry news, I find myself intrigued by the latest developments surrounding the rumored PlayStation 5 Pro. With my fingers crossed for a powerful mid-generation upgrade, I’ve been closely following each new piece of information that surfaces.

A reliable source close to the matter has raised questions about the predicted release date of around holiday 2024 for the as-yet-unannounced PlayStation 5 Pro. Previous reports and leaks suggested a late 2024 launch for this mid-cycle upgrade to the PlayStation 5. But it seems Sony may not be following this timeline based on new information from within the company.

The PS5 Pro, an anticipated mid-generation upgrade from Sony, is expected to bring significant performance enhancements over the current PS5 model. According to leaked information from Sony’s developer portal, this upgraded console will feature a more powerful GPU based on AMD’s newer RDNA 3 architecture with a capacity of 33.5 teraflops. Additionally, it is rumored to have faster RAM speeds, a 10% quicker CPU, and a new ML-based image upscaler named PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution. Developers are said to focus on delivering 4K resolution at 60 frames per second for PS5 Pro games, with the potential of achieving 120 frames per second in some titles as well.

As a long-time PlayStation fan and avid gamer, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of the PS5 Pro. However, I must admit that recent developments have left me feeling a tad uncertain about its holiday 2024 launch window.

Sony May Have Delayed The PS5 Pro Due To A Current Lack Of AAA Heavy Hitters

Henderson’s tweet may have been conjectural, and the insider has not provided further explanation. Regardless, it wouldn’t be unexpected if Sony postponed the launch of the PS5 Pro beyond the holiday 2024 window. With no major first-party blockbusters set for release this year, Sony might prefer to unveil the enhanced capabilities of the PS5 Pro through a high-profile AAA game similar in scope to “Ghost of Tsushima 2” or “Death Stranding 2: On The Beach.” While “Astro Bot” and “LEGO Horizon Adventures” are visually engaging, Sony could aim for a more impactful demonstration of the PS5 Pro’s potential.

Instead, the business could unveil the PS5 Pro and upgraded editions of select games in September. They might still adhere to the predicted autumn 2024 launch date for the console. Sony’s participation as a regular exhibitor at Tokyo Game Show in September has been confirmed. If the PS5 Pro isn’t presented there or around that time, a release in 2025 becomes more plausible.
