Rumour: PS5 Pro launching "second half of 2024"

There was more need for the PS4 Pro upgrade though. When they're not fully utilising the PS5's power yet, I don't see why we need an upgrade.

I bought a PS4 Pro soon after launched and overall felt it was a bit of a waste of money. Whilst it was nice playing Shadow of the Colossus at 60fps not enough other games give a sufficient upgrade and at the time I didn't have a 4k tv. So I will be giving any PS5 upgrade a miss.

My sentiments exactly. I often think that the Internet is full of people moaning for the sake of it, but it's a legitimate statement this generation.

Playing something like the Demon Souls remake or Returnal, it's hard to visualise how much of an improvement a PS5 Pro could make to games that have been made specifically for this generation. They look amazing, run smoothly and load super fast - where's the room for improvement?

A huge number of PS5-only games are still giving the choice of fidelity or frame rate. Presumably a bit more in the way of horse power and users might not have to make the choice...

Yeah that's a fair point.

€500 to not have to make a choice...

Today’s leaked documents also confirmed:

Rendering 45% faster than PS5
2-3x Ray-tracing (x4 in some cases)
33.5 Teraflops
PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution Upscaling) upscaling/antialiasing solution
Support for resolutions up to 8K is planned for future SDK version
Custom machine learning architecture
AI Accelerator, supporting 300 TOPS of 8 bit computation / 67 TFLOPS of 16-bit floating point

Insider Gaming, who was also shared documentation from the developer portal under the condition that it’s not shared publically or privately can also confirm that Devkits have been available to first-party studios since September 2023, third-party since January 2024, and from Spring 2024 Testkits will also be available which will be identical to the final product.

Insider Gaming understands that the PS5 Pro is currently aiming for a tentative holiday 2024 release, but the date could be changed due to the lack of first-party games released on the PlayStation 5 this year.

No thanks.

Surely thats a PS6? PS4 to PS5 was about a 4x increase in TFLOPS, which is similar to this supposed jump in power.....

Both Sony and Microsoft need to stop chasing the TFLOPS figure though.

Yeah, can you imagine what this would cost :lol:

this will be for hardcore enthusiasts only for sure

I only got my PS5 for about year, I think I'm good :lol:

Having only had mine for a few weeks, i think i'll pass on this.

It just doesn't seem necessary when they haven't had a proper go at harnessing the power of this generation.

The only real decision to make for me is whether to buy 1 or 2.

It’ll fly off the shelves for GTA alone, and Ray Tracing will be able to actually race in Gran Turismo instead of just watching a replay.

Still feels very unneeded though... Much like a more powerful Xbox does at this point, it'll sell well for GTA 6 alone though :fp:

It feels a bit ridiculous when the games released so far often aren't harnessing the power of the existing model.

There probably won't be many games that really utilise the additional power. The alleged tech power is such a step up from the existing model that it'll effectively be next gen in comparison.

It's gonna be silly expensive.

I can't afford it.

And yet... I know I'll want to get it.

:fp:
