A new PlayStation 5 Pro leak further confirms previous rumors surrounding the console's upgrades, which include a significantly improved GPU and slightly improved CPU. Sony expects the next PS5's improvements to allow for more ray tracing and frames per second, along with other enhancements.
In March, a PS5 Pro leak revealed many of the console's specs that will apparently allow for 45% faster GPU rendering, considerably improved ray tracing, and Sony's new PSSR upscaling solution that's supported by machine learning. The higher-end PS5 sounded like a promising product but remained unconfirmed, and technically still is. However, an additional leak gives it even more credence.
The Verge says it obtained a full list of specs for the PS5 Pro and its sources say that developers are being asked to make their games compatible with the unreleased console, which is codenamed Trinity. The upgraded PS5 is still set to include a revamped GPU capable of hitting higher frame rates at higher resolutions, along with significantly improved ray tracing capabilities. Apparently, Sony is encouraging developers to use more GPU-intensive effects like ray tracing in future games, which can earn a PS5 Pro Enhanced label if they utilize the new console's technology. The PS5 Pro includes the same CPU as the standard PS5, but comes with a new mode that allows for the CPU to be overclocked to 3.85 GHz for about a 10% increase. It appears that this mode is activated by a game's needs rather than players themselves.
The PS5 Pro also comes with improvements to system memory speeds and how much system memory can be allocated to games. The future console's system memory runs at 576 GB/s, which is a 28% increase over the standard PS5, and games on the PS5 Pro can use up to 13.7 GB of system memory compared to the standard PS5's limit of 12.5 GB. According to the leaked documents, the system memory improvements should be useful for the console's PSSR upscaling system that enhances FPS and resolution. The PS5 Pro is expected to launch during 2024's holiday season.
The PS5 Pro's launch will likely be followed by new games that aim to take advantage of the console's upgraded performance. Recent rumors indicate that a Ghost of Tsushima 2 reveal could be happening soon.
The PlayStation brand will likely see other major video game releases in 2025, such as Death Stranding 2. If Sony follows the trend seen in PlayStation's last generation of consoles, the PS5 Pro would be the last Sony console until the next generation launches.
Sony's PlayStation 5 is part of the ninth console generation and debuted with a launch lineup that included Demon's Souls and Astro's Playroom. The console comes with a Blu-ray disc, although a digital-only edition

Building on an article published overnight, The Verge has another post that largely reiterates past reporting from Insider Gaming covering what Sony has planned for its PS5 Pro and the upgrades it will bring to current games. Reported first at the start of April but now confirmed through more sources, Sony is reportedly allowing developers to tag their titles as «PS5 Pro Enhanced» after applying one of a few different upgrades.
As if there was much doubting it at this point, the copyright claim of a YouTube video, which has resulted in its removal, points towards all of the PS5 Pro leaks being accurate. The video in question was posted by the channel Moore's Law Is Dead, and it had a hand in kickstarting the leaks that have since surrounded Sony's upgraded console. The copyright claim was, of course, filed by Sony Interactive Entertainment — and so it's easy to conclude that the information was bang on, at least to some extent.
Although we're still waiting on Sony's official announcement, the PS5 Pro seems to be all systems go behind the scenes. Following on from several leaks over the last few months, a new report from The Verge says that Sony is really starting to push its supercharged console, as it's currently asking development teams to make sure that their games are compatible with the new hardware — presumably ahead of its launch later in the year.
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.
Sony is said to be readying a Pro version of the PlayStation 5, a more powerful variant of its current-generation console. While the Japanese electronics giant has not yet confirmed the existence of the PS5 Pro, multiple leaks from credible sources have detailed the improvements coming to the console. Newly leaked documents have outlined the specifications for PS5 Pro, suggesting an upgraded console with vastly improved ray-tracing performance in demanding titles.
The Verge has a new report out with claims that the Sony is prodding developers to get their games to 4K 60 FPS on the rumored PlayStation 5 Pro, with their own upscaling technology.
Sony PS5 Pro launch in 2024: The PS5 Pro, the much-anticipated upgrade to Sony's PlayStation 5, is set to hit the shelves during the holiday season in 2024. Recent reports confirmed the authenticity of the leaked specifications for this upcoming console variant.
Sony's unannounced but widely-expected PlayStation 5 Pro should run games at 60fps with ray-tracing, upscaled to 4K resolution using the console's fresh PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology.
Despite not being officially announced, the PS5 Pro has seen several details leak over the past month or so, starting with a video by Moore’s Law is Dead, which Insider Gaming corroborated. The Verge’s Tom Warren is adding to the pile after obtaining a “full list of specs” for the console. 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.
While many are voicing their doubts regarding the need for the PlayStation 5 Pro, the console is somewhat needed to push visuals and performance forward for current generation games, as the PlayStation 5 having some sort of "untapped" potential is just an internet myth.
While Sony has yet to make any sort of official announcement, rumors about the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro are coming hot-and-heavy. We recently heard that developers will need to include PS5 Pro compatibility in their games to get certified as soon as this August, and now The Verge has provided some more details about what a game needs to do to earn the “PS5 Pro Enhanced” label.
