Rumour: PS5 Pro Still Planned to Release in 2024, State of Play Coming in September | Push Square
There've been a lot of rumours flying around for what feels like a long time concerning some unconfirmed-but-likely Sony stuff, and Jeff Grubb has just provided the latest word. Discussing PS5 Pro on his Game Mess Mornings show, the reliable Giant Bomb cohort has said the upgraded console is still heading our way before the year is out, and not only that, but we may get a State of Play in a matter of weeks.
You can hear what he has to say on these subjects in the video above. Responding to the story that PS5 Pro was an «open secret» among devs at Gamescom, Grubb claims it's still aiming for 2024. «Last I heard, [PS5 Pro] is still coming out this year,» he says.
He quickly bounces off of that assertion, bringing up that he's heard «more recently» about a State of Play — «not a Showcase, a State of Play» — which will go live «by the end of September». He says he doesn't know whether PS5 Pro will feature in the State of Play, but, as he puts it, «Where else would it be?»
The PS5 Pro hasn't been officially acknowledged at all yet, but rumours and leaks about the enhanced machine have been circulating for quite a while. On top of that, word about some sort of PlayStation presentation has been building momentum, pretty much since the last State of Play back in May. Grubb is a well-connected and reliable source, so given that and all the smoke surrounding these two things, we're fairly confident he's right on both counts.
Still, it is just his word we're going on. For what it's worth, we've not heard anything ourselves on either of these topics, but they do line up rather nicely, so we'll see how it all shakes out.
