The PlayStation 5 has shipped 54.8 million consoles to close out 2023, and while it continues to hit its stride, Sony is reportedly gearing up for a mid-gen refresh. It’s allegedly working on a PS5 Pro, with devkits dispatched last September, and its specifications recently leaked online. Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson corroborated the same while revealing other details, but now IGN has confirmed their validity.
It reveals that the specifications originated from Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Developer Network. The private website is viewable only for licensed developers, publishers and middleware companies, thus indicating that the leak originated from those sources. Which developer/publisher/middleware company it was is unknown, and Sony hasn’t commented on the same.
The PS5 Pro reportedly targets a launch in Fall/Holiday 2024, though the lack of first-party releases could lead to a delay. It reportedly features a 33.5 TFLOPs GPU, system memory with a bandwidth of 576 GB/s and the same CPU as the PS5 with a “High CPU Frequency Mode” to go from 3.5 GHz to 3.85 GHz.
The console also allegedly marks the debut of the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, a proprietary supersampling solution. Though it’s internally targeting 4K/120 FPS and 8K/60 FPS, it’s unknown if this will be achievable on the PS5 Pro. As always, stay tuned for potential announcements in the coming months.
