Sony has officially started the general uproar surrounding the famous PS5 Pro. So it seems that serious things are finally bearing fruit.
The PS5 Pro is scheduled for later this year and is now the focus of Sony’s full attention. The Japanese giant would have asked developers to prepare their games for the imminent arrival of this highly anticipated console. Especially when it comes to taking advantage of the significantly improved technical data sheet compared to the basic model.
All of Sony’s rays are focused on the PS5 Pro
Rumors about the PS5 Pro have been circulating for a few months. In particular, the technical data sheet, the most important element of the console, was leaked. On paper, this new model will offer a significantly more powerful GPU than the vanilla PS5 as well as a slightly faster CPU. Specifically, the goal of these improvements is to ensure better ray tracing playback. In this point, its architecture would actually allow three times better results than those of the basic version. The other point where the Pro should please fans of fluidity: greater reliability when displaying games at 60 FPS.
While it will soon be added to certified seller inventory alongside the Slim, Sony is going to great lengths to prepare for its arrival. In fact, developers have started receiving test kits to adapt their games to the PS5 Pro’s improved capabilities. According to the very well informed Tom WarrenThe Japanese company expects that the proper functioning of each game tested on this new console will have to be certified before August. Suffice it to say that there is still a lot of work for the studios in question to meet this deadline. In a broader sense, this means that we would be entitled to a proper presentation of the long-awaited console in August or early September.
A console that should live up to expectations
In this context, let’s remember that Sony has introduced real specifications to mark games as fully compatible with the PS5 Pro. You actually have to integrate three elements to earn this status. Namely upscaling to 4K, 60 constant FPS and adding or increasing ray tracing effects. Therefore, this last point will be given particular attention. This very ambitious feature, introduced in 2018, could finally take its full place on consoles.
In addition to a significant improvement in this area, the fluidity on the PS5 Pro should also be present. In addition to a more powerful GPU and a faster CPU, the memory should also be improved. All this taken together will allow the upscaling method used by the console to fully accomplish its task. As a reminder, PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution is inspired by DLSS and uses machine learning to improve frame rate and image quality. Therefore, while we wait for the next generation consoles, the PS5 Pro could meet all the needs of demanding gamers. Now the release date and especially the price still need to be known. We bet we’ll find out more soon.
