Sony has secured the complete Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy as a console exclusive.
PS5 Pro Console Expected to Release Later This Year

According to industry analysts, Sony's PS5 Pro is believed to be on the horizon, releasing sometime in the latter half of this year. Four years after its release, the PS5's anticipated Pro version may finally become a reality for many fans who have been eager for its release.
When the PS5 first launched at the end of 2020, the infamous chip shortage that occurred during the time caused a scarcity in supplies for the highly anticipated console, frustrating many fans. For many, it seemed like owning a PS5 was merely a dream, but the PS5 shortage finally ended in 2023, a grueling three years after its initial launch. Since then, many gamers have been able to enjoy the console, but rumors of the PS5 Pro quickly sprung up. Eagle-eyed fans have been keeping an eye on Sony patents and reports from industry insiders, and the newest report claims the PS5 Pro is closer to release than some may have expected.
Kantan Games CEO, Serkan Toto, recently stated to CNBC that a late 2024 launch for the PS5 Pro is likely. After last week's Sony reports suggesting that the PS5 is entering the end of its life cycle, the next natural step is for the PS5 Pro to step in and take its place. Although some may feel like the PS5 has only been around for a short while, Toto believes the next phase of the console is on its way.
There seems to be a broad consensus in the game industry that Sony is indeed preparing a launch of a PS5 Pro in the second half of 2024.
If analysts are correct, the PS5 Pro is set to arrive before GTA 6's 2025 release. Despite GTA 6 having no clear release date yet, it makes sense that Sony would want to release an amped-up version of its current console before the most anticipated game of next year arrives.
There may not be any official announcement from Sony yet, but reliable leaks about the PS5 Pro's hardware and internet speculation have been getting many PlayStation fans excited. The PS4 Pro was released only three years after the original PS4, so it wouldn't be too surprising for the PS5 Pro to finally be on its way four years after its base version.
