More than two and a half years after their initial release, the PS5 and Xbox series are easier to find than ever. Despite the specifics of their release and the current situation, should we expect mid-gen versions of consoles to hit the market? The boss of Take-Two gives his opinion.
GTA 6 makes headlines again. NO leaks This time, according to rumours, it’s Take Two itself that provides a new clue as to the release date of the most anticipated game of the next few years. A window that seems to match recent rumours, pointing to a 2024 launch. There isn’t, but the Take-Two CEO is more inclined to talk about the PS5 Pro and a more powerful Xbox series. He gives his opinion on the matter.
The GTA 6 editor has his say on mid-gen consoles
We’d almost forget as the circumstances of their release were special, but the PS5 and Xbox series will soon be three years old. The clock is ticking and manufacturers usually decide at this time to dust off their hardware with more powerful versions. For example, the PlayStation 4 Pro appeared three years after its big sister. Many speculated at the time that a PS5 Pro and a new Xbox Series were secretly in development, and credible sources claim that Sony is indeed working on two new PlayStation 5s. The former would only have one different function than the original model: a removable disk. The second, on the other hand, would benefit from a new AMD chip that improves the performance of the console and a new system from water cooling more efficient. At the moment it’s nothing official, but for the CEO of Take Two these new models are not impossible.
The specialist media gaming industry used an interview with Strauss Zelnick to ask him about the possibility of an Xbox Series Y and PS5 Pro coming to market. ” We’ll probably see them he was replying to the new mid-gen consoles. But did the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro have a positive impact on the development of games under Take-Two’s oversight or not? ” It hasn’t really impacted our business “Sweeps the man at the helm of the publisher of GTA 6. When we see how Grand Theft Auto 5 continued to sell by the pallet even without mid-gen consoles back then, we want to believe it.
The PS5 Pro would be very real
According to the latest rumours, the existence of the PS5 Pro is almost certain. The very knowledgeable Tom Henderson assures that the console is in development and 100% real. According to the sources, the first development kits will be sent to PlayStation Studios in the coming months. Partner studios like Rockstar, Ubisoft and others should have it in their hands by the end of the year.
Our immediate calm, as of this writing there is little chance that the next console will be announced during the big PlayStation Showcase. Sony has announced the color: it will be the PS5 and PSVR 2 games that will take the spotlight. The announcement of its next piece of hardware, the PlayStation 5 with a removable drive, could come later. What about Microsoft? It’s more vague as the rumors are rarer. Maybe the Redmond company will be able to keep the secret better? We’ll know soon enough because in this industry, the secret never stays that way for long.
