PS5 Pro in development? Here’s what the rumors say

While history repeats itself, the PS5 will follow in the footsteps of its predecessor with the release of a PS5 Pro – but when will it be released? And how much will it cost?

When it comes to cutting edge technology, the Xbox Series X reigns supreme as the world’s most powerful gaming console.

However, current speculation reveals that Sony may have a counterattack. Many fans believe that the PS5’s opportunity to dethrone the X Series comes in the form of a Pro Edition.

It’s been two months since the release of the PS5 and the production of the PS4 Pro has already ended. As the Playstation dynasty continues, a new model appears on the horizon.

Speculation on a Pro model really started when fans discovered a Sony patent released in July 2020. The patent describes a future gaming console that comes with two GPUs instead of one.

If this is used in the PS5 Pro, it could be twice as powerful as the standard model.

The potential release of a Pro Edition (likely alongside a Slim remodel) proves that the future of gaming is beyond our imagination. While its development has yet to be announced, here’s everything we know so far about this possible version, cost, and specs of a PS5 Pro.

PS5 Pro release date

If the future Pro is as groundbreaking as rumors suggest, it isn’t coming out anytime soon. Nonetheless, some fans are already choosing to wait for a bigger renovation.

you can really wait, i love the ps5 but i do see frame drop in all the games so far nothing really mind blowing i think the ps5pro if planned will be the real next gen 4k.

Can you wait for the PS5 Pro? Here’s everywhere you could buy a PS5 this week.

It should be noted that the Pro version of the PS4 was released three years after the standard model. With that logic in mind, the PS5 Pro release date will likely be around 2023 at the earliest.

Additionally, a new console will need time to catch up with upcoming technological advancements such as 8k and the new HDMI 2.1.

How much will the PS5 Pro cost?

The cost of a Pro is due to speculation.

Knowing that a standard PS5 costs $ 499 and digital costs $ 399, we can assume that a PS5 Pro will not be cheaper. But it might not be more expensive either.

Both the PS4 and PS4 Pro cost $ 399 on release, so it’s possible that the price of the PS5 Pro might match that of the standard PS5. A superior console for the same price as its predecessor doesn’t look half bad – as long as you’re willing to wait for it.

Now for the juicy stuff! The allure of the PS5 Pro centers on its gaming power.

So, what can we expect with its potential release?

Sony has a custom system on a chip for the standard PS5 that combines an AMD processor with an RDNA2 GPU. This allows the PS5 to deliver an astonishing 10.3 teraflops of graphics power.

This means that if Sony uses its patented dual GPU design in the Pro, we might be looking at DLSS-level power with twice the graphics capacity of the PS5.

It’s completely hypothetical, but still an amazing notion.

Either way, the PS5 Pro is just a daydream at this point.
