Expected by many gamers, The new iteration of the PlayStation 5 is still not officially real, But the increasingly frequent rumors given by journalists and analysts close to the Japanese company make a 2024 arrival credible.
While Sony hasn’t officially confirmed its existence, new, supposedly leaked information suggests that we could be looking at an imminent PlayStation 5 Pro announcement. Here’s a rundown:
What we know so far
Journalist Jeff Grubb, known for getting a lot of his “leaks” right, commented on his show “Game Mess Mornings” that the launch of the PS5 Pro this year is an “open secret” among developers, especially after the Gamescom that just ended. According to Grubb, Sony could be preparing a State of Play by the end of September, where the official announcement of this new console would be made. Although Grubb could not confirm whether the PS5 Pro will be presented at this event, the possibility is real.
Technical specifications and improvements
At the moment all the possible specifications that have been released must be taken with a grain of salt as there is no official information, rumors indicate that the PS5 Pro could offer graphics performance of up to 33.5 teraflops, almost three times more powerful than the PS5 standard. In addition, it is speculated that it will include a scaling technology similar to DLSS from Nvidia, called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), to optimize the most demanding games.
Other potential improvements include a 45% increase in raster performance and 28% faster memory speeds than the original PlayStation 5 model. There’s also talk of a “high CPU frequency mode,” which would allow for a 10% increase in overall system performance.
With this technology, you could say that now, really, really, the PS5 Pro if it would be prepared to support games in 8Ka promise that the original PS5 has stamped on its box but in reality, very few games can say that they fulfill this promise.
Powerful, but expensive
Since the beginning of the rumors, one of the most discussed points about the PS5 Pro is its price, which could be around 600 to 700 US dollars. This price range would place the console as one of the most expensive in Sony’s recent history, even exceeding the launch price of the PS3 at the time it arrived at a price of $600 USD for the 60GB model.
The high price could be justified not only by the significant technical improvements expected in this model, but also because despite its high price, the PS5 console has not had a significant discount and is still selling without a major discount. There is a market for an extra-premium console, one might think.
The arrival of the PS5 Pro in 2024 would make sense
Although it seems to be very close, the launch of the PS5 Pro could coincide with the Christmas season, in some way replicating the strategy of the PS4 Prowhich debuted in November 2016. This strategy would allow Sony to bring a new “promised gift” to consumers who want to make the jump and use the season as an excuse to buy it or to attract new consumers who do not yet have the PlayStation 5.
PS5 Pro price and launch in Colombia and Latin America.
If this information is real, Most likely, the console will not only not debut officially in the region this year, but when it does, it will arrive at an exorbitant price.. This would follow the same launch scheme for previous brand products, where the PS4 Pro was launched practically a year later in Colombia, Mexico, Chile and Argentina.
Regarding the price, in the case of Colombia, the PS5 Pro could arrive for a price close to 4 million pesos if a similar exchange rate is maintained. An exorbitant value but in perspective, it is similar to what the original PS5 had between 2021 and 2022 in the country.
Although for now everything is rumors and speculation, the expectation is high. If the PS5 Pro Coming this year, it could become the most anticipated gift for gamers in the 2024 holiday season.
