lmao at these attention whoring, click bait, internet cookie points PR shills, they literally live and die by the clicks, that "article" has the equivalent substance of a lobotomized pornstar.

Omg this

I'm tired of this shit, honestly.

I'm just waiting for an official announcments from PlayStation

 

[Imtjnotu]

 

[demigod]

Yep, i knew he was full of shit about the delay yesterday.

 

[Brigandier]

Makes no sense releasing it next year. Will look outdated as fuck when the 5090 and new AMD cards drop.

Why are you comparing a $600 console to a $2000+ single PC component???

Where is the logic? What is your point?.

Stupid fucking post.

 

[Loomy]

This is like the Switch 2 carnival.

"We hear it's launching this year"
Doesn't launch this year
"Should we be worried about the PS5 Pro?"

Realistically, even at $600, if the alleged specs are true, it is going to be a great value proposition considering how expensive GPUs are these days.

EXCLUSIVE: ASKING A QUESTION AND NOT ANSWERING IT

Documents sent to me in mid-2023 showed the PlayStation 5 Pro release date, which, if memory serves me correctly, was in the latter half of November 2024.

Oh so the documents were sent to you, but now you can't even be bothered to check them? Fuck off Tom.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Ghost of Tsushima 2 would get me to buy 3 of them for myself and my children but until then I'll stick with PC.

 

[SegaSnatcher]

As expected. Now, what will the price be? $549.99 or $599.99?

 

[bitbydeath]

This is always overblown.
PC gamers looking for differences.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

So the PS5 Pro is or “was” supposedly coming out in a few months, yet to my knowledge we still don’t have much, if any legitimate information or official announcement from Sony yet? Something just doesn’t seem right with the Pro.

 

[EverydayBeast]

SONY has experience of pro consoles, we've seen sony alter the ps1, ps2, ps3 whether is be for dramatically different designs or resetting their image I think the console design of the PS5 Pro will be important.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

We didn't get anything official on the PS4 Pro until Sept and launched in Nov and this will likely follow the same pattern

 

[StereoVsn]

Those are rookie numbers. I can easily see $600 DE and $650 physical version or even $640 and $700.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Wow Tom, what a scoop!!

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Yes, it is coming out in 2024. Nothing to see here.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Those are rookie numbers. I can easily see $600 DE and $650 physical version or even $640 and $700.

I could definitely see 600 for digital and 650 for physical or no physical option and only the drive that you can buy for 80.

 

[VolticArchangel]

They don't really. It will be the best place to play GTA 6 for 2+ years.

Fixed that for accuracy

Fixed that again for the most accuracy.

 

[RayHell]

This generation, Sony is about to release has many console version than great exclusive game.

 

[Robb]

Is the PlayStation 5 Pro Releasing in 2024?

 

[Fess]

Makes no sense releasing it next year. Will look outdated as fuck when the 5090 and new AMD cards drop.

PC folks is not the target audience. It’s purpose is to keep console gamers on console for the rest of the generation. Might work for some, it’ll look good when Digital Foundry show the percentage increase in resolution and framerate for the price.

 

[sendit]

Pro models are only about increasing resolution and frame rates primarily. Maybe a texture boost. It’s basically the PC version of consoles.

Crazy, you just uncovered a mystery that wasn't already known.

 

[BaneIsPain]

Can blame long lead time for game development that's why it seems unnecessary to get a Pro version.
I still would like it though.

[RagnarokIV]

SEO word salad fake article.

 

[skit_data]

Impressive amount of text for conveying essentially nothing

 

[King Dazzar]

That's a bit more reassuring.

 

[MikeM]

I’d rather they go back to five year console cycles and give us completely new harder (hardware hehe) faster.

 

[Silver Wattle]

I think it's too late for the pro, but I'm sure the handful of people that buy it will be happy.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I think it's too late for the pro, but I'm sure the handful of people that buy it will be happy.

Too late for the Pro? It's coming out exactly when this gen reaches it's mid life cycle.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Timing is perfect

Too late would be releasing it trying to compete with the Switch 2, 5000 series GPUs and whatever monstrosity Xbox is thinking about cooking up.

Literally nothing to compete with this Holiday

 

[Ristifer]

[welshrat]

So nothing has changed.

 

[CloudShiner]

So nothing has changed.

Except that we're all closer to death.

 

[Borowski_1]

What good is hardware if the software is just not there?

meanwhile, a 7 year old console is still getting games....

 

[welshrat]

Except that we're all closer to death.

Can't argue with that. Especially at 47. I keep myself fit, train every day but the last 2 years are brutal. Feels like 10

 

[Moses85]

Honestly, there is no need for pro. Its a waste of resources. But if people really care about it, then they need a heavy hitter first party showcasing its power.

 

[Schmendrick]

I’d rather they go back to five year console cycles and give us completely new harder (hardware hehe) faster.

not possible anymore with the prolonged development cycles and the amount of power you now need to get even marginal visual improvements. At least not at console price point.
Get a PC if you want that.

Seriously did he think about that before he wrote it? Documents sent to me that I can't be bothered to look up and verify the information while I sit here and do my job as a journalist .

 

[IDKFA]

We'd need to massively increase development times for that to happen.

A lot of games take more than 5 years to make. If we had 5 year console cycles then most developers would be lucky to put out a game on it before the next console comes around.

 

[BeforeU]

lot of credible chatter about its releasing this year. Lets stop singing the same song now. Don't really see enthusiasm for a pro version though. Can't imagine lot of people running out to buy this year

 

[SHA]

No one doubts the second Jesus coming.

Have a PC (7600x/7900xt). Still would like more updates to hardware than the current timelines.

Cross generation will be the norm going forward. Even if the games take longer to make, scaling up to newer boxes is easier than scaling down. A PS5 target today allows for enhanced versions for PS5 Pro and PS6.

Zelda developed by Grezzo (third-party studio) = first-party game
Helldivers developed by Arrowhead (third-party studio) = hmm, that's actually a second-party game

Biggest competition is base PS5 and tbh it won't hit great sale numbers. I expect it to underperform in comparison to PS4 Pro.
With new Xbox dropping '26 it would be a disaster to release PS5 Pro '25 and get outdated after a year. Specially considering that jump on PS5 Pro with 20-30%+ raster performance is on the low side.

I don't see a big value with better raytracing performance (we've already been told about RDNA 3 miracles that didn't happen). In the end, it is a device for enthusiasts who are not interested in the PC market or new customers who have the spare cash for upselling.

Next year Switch 2 feels much more appealing.

lol nobody is getting outdated by an xbox anymore. disaster would be for them to release a new console in 26 after their series collapse and thinking anyone will trust them for another gen.

one x, came one year from ps4pro, was outperforming it
and probably sold 100units or so in total.
