Is Sony releasing a PS5 Pro in 2024? <\/p>

Even though we now have the Slim model<\/a> of Sony\u2019s current home console in our hands, players are still wondering if there will be a PS5 Pro or not.<\/p>\n

The PS5 originally launched back in November 2020, so we\u2019re over three years into its life cycle \u2013 for many, it\u2019s about time the more powerful Pro model would be expected.<\/p>\n

After all, the PS4 Pro was released in 2016, just as the sprightly PS4 was celebrating its third birthday.<\/p>\n

Based on that timeframe, eager fans have been expecting a PS5 Pro release date announcement for the last 12 months or so.<\/p>\n

Following the console\u2019s troubled launch plagued by stock issues and the release of the Slim model, are we really going to get a PlayStation 5 Pro upgrade any time soon?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything we know about the rumoured PS5 Pro release date, specs and more.<\/p>\n

Will there be a PS5 Pro?<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe existence of a PS5 Pro has not been officially confirmed<\/strong> \u2013 but the rumours are running rampant, with some claiming a PS5 Pro is imminent and others claiming Sony will instead jump straight to the PS6 in a few years time<\/a>.<\/p>\n
The closest we have to an official comment is from Hideaki Nishino, Sony\u2019s senior vice president of platform experience, who was asked about future prospects for the PS5 similar to the PS4 Pro by Famitsu<\/a> a while back.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe that cumulative sales will exceed 37 million units by the end of fiscal 2022, and that it will be a very important time for the platform, as well,\u201d Nishino said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t be able to talk about specifics at this time, but I hope that you will look forward to next year.\u201d<\/p>
This certainly wasn\u2019t a denial, so many took this as proof of a Ps5 Pro \u2013 it\u2019s likely that Nishino was referring to the PSVR 2<\/a>, PS5 Slim model and PlayStation Portal<\/a>, however.<\/p>\n
Unless we get an official announcement, the best we have to go on are rumours and supposed leaks. Among the most promising so far can be found on this ResetEra thread<\/a>.<\/p>\n
PS5 Pro release date rumours<\/strong><\/h2>\n
While there is still no official word from Sony regarding even a reveal of the PS5 Pro\u2019s existence, rumours are pointing towards a release date of November 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
A rumour<\/a> about a new PS5 codenamed Trinity began doing the rounds back in summer 2023, suggesting that the Pro model has been in development since early 2022, and that demo events for the upgraded console have been ongoing.<\/p>\n
Supposedly, development kits have been in the hands of studios since late November 2023, with the aim to launch the console onto the market during November 2024.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s definitely worth taking these rumours with a heaping pinch of salt, but they are interesting, at least.<\/p>\n
What could the PS5 Pro specs look like?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Predictions for the PS5 Pro specs are, once again, all over the place, but a few features have received consistent mention.<\/p>\n
The somewhat controversial design is expected to be similar, perhaps with a detachable disc drive \u2013 this was used for the PS5 Slim model, so we could see it happening again on a PS5.<\/p>
