Are you happy with your PS5? All signs point to a more advanced version hitting stores around the world soon. We’re not talking about the PlayStation 6, but rather the PS5 Prothat model that usually arrives in the middle of the generation to take a leap in quality, performance and improve some of the errors of the first mold. If you thought it would take longer to arrive, you should know that Sony could have everything almost ready to announce it.
The first leaked detail about this PS5 Pro is its submission date. According to Jeff Grubb, one of the most important leakers in the sector, Sony would be preparing a State of Play for the end of September. At this event, in addition to advancing a good part of the game catalog for 2025, the long-awaited PlayStation 5 update.
This fact is not only given by the cited source, but, as they comment from Alpha Beta Playit is an open secret that The announcement of the PS5 Pro is going to be made imminentlyIt seems that the entire industry is aligned in this sense, so the date, although not confirmed by Sony, seems quite likely to be met.
The PS5 Pro will be what is expected
As for the design, technical features or details, there is not much information. Usually, the Pro versions of the PlayStation make some aesthetic change that is usually linked to a internal component upgradeIn the case of the PS5 Pro, it is unknown whether it will arrive in a new size or if it will maintain the dimensions.
As for power, everything points to the fact that Sony would allow the PS5 Pro to enjoy higher resolutionsmore stable performance and a priority focus on being able to squeeze out the full potential of games with the graphics engine Unreal Engine 5. Overall, Sony’s new console is expected to be able to offer a Quantitative leap in visual quality.
In fact, one of the most interesting leaks talks about Sony asking developers to update their games to allow ray tracinga feature that requires considerable power and that in many PS5 releases is not feasible to activate.

Is the Pro worth buying?
Of course, it is an answer that cannot be confirmed before the launch, although knowing the supposed news we can. bring two clear scenarios.
- You don’t have a PS5: In the case of not having the first model, it is generally smarter to go for the PS5 Pro by paying a little more and ensuring you the best possible performance the rest of the generation.
- If you have a PS5: If you currently have the first generation model, things are different. You can now play the new releases, you have good performance and the update, unless you have an extremely good screen, may not be worth it. Right now, most advanced games run just fine on the standard model, so selling it off to buy a PS5 Pro isn’t a recommended move for everyone.
In short, as always happens, Upgrading to the PS5 Pro from the current PS5 does not represent a truly significant changeso investing in a new console that will maintain many of the aspects of the previous one does not seem to be the most advisable.
