The PlayStation 5 Pro has yet to be officially unveiled, but it may release as soon as September 2024, judging from a report shared online today.
As reported by The Verge today, Sony is expecting every PS5 game submitted for certification from August 2024 to be compatible with the PlayStation 5 Pro. As such, the console should be expected to become available from that month, although it is way more likely to launch in the following months, as Sony has been launching new home hardware between September and November for some years. For the rest, The Verge's report includes information we have already heard about regarding the PlayStation 5 Pro specs, such as more powerful GPU, slightly faster CPU, better ray tracing, higher RAM capacity and bandwidth, and more.

While the enhancements it features are not as massive as some may have expected, the PlayStation 5 Pro couldn't be that more powerful than the base model for multiple reasons, including game development reasons, as it would be difficult for developers to scale up to a more powerful system in the middle of development. According to a veteran game developer, the console was designed to provide developers with easy and economical ways to implement enhancements in their games, such as the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler, whose implementation will likely be much easier than AMD FSR implementation.

The demand for Apple Vision Pro is slowly dwindling, but the company’s long-term goals have not budged an inch. A new report states that the successor to the $3,499 AR headset could launch sometime by the end of 2026. However, there is a huge glaring issue that Apple needs to address, or this product category will most likely never take off, and that is pricing. For that to happen, the technology giant needs to bring down its component costs, but with each current-generation unit estimated to set back Apple by $1,542, the road to a more affordable head-mounted wearable is long and hard.
The PlayStation 5 port of Obsidian Entertainment's Grounded comes with worse performance and lower image quality than Xbox Series X, a new technical analysis revealed today.
Despite the lack of an official reveal, more information has emerged about the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro model, and just how much value it's going to bring to the table is becoming increasingly clear. The idea of a mid-generation Pro upgrade was set into place during the last console generation, with the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X offering significant boosts to consoles that were struggling to meet high resolution and performance targets on some games. It's not surprising that both Sony and Microsoft appear ready to continue the tradition, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's worthwhile.

Many of these are already known, like the 576 GB/s system memory bandwidth, a CPU with a “High Frequency Mode” to run at 3.8 GHz and more.
