Gamers, rejoice! Sony has finally announced the reveal date for the PlayStation 5 Pro, the upgraded version of its popular gaming console. The PS5 Pro is expected to offer enhanced performance, graphics, and features, making it the ultimate gaming machine. But when will we get to see it in action? And what can we expect from the PS5 Pro? Here's everything you need to know.
When and where to watch the PS5 Pro reveal event
Sony has confirmed that the PS5 Pro reveal event will take place on March 15, 2024, at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. GMT. The event will be streamed live on Sony's official YouTube channel, as well as on Twitch, Facebook, and Twitter. You can also watch the event on your PS4 or PS5 via the PlayStation app.
The event is expected to last for about an hour, and will feature a presentation by Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan, as well as appearances by various game developers and industry experts. The event will showcase the PS5 Pro's design, specs, features, price, and release date, as well as some of the upcoming games that will take advantage of the PS5 Pro's capabilities.
What to expect from the PS5 Pro
The PS5 Pro is the successor to the PS4 Pro, which was released in 2016 as a mid-generation upgrade to the PS4. The PS4 Pro offered improved performance, resolution, and HDR support, as well as compatibility with 4K TVs and PlayStation VR. The PS5 Pro is expected to follow a similar pattern, but with even more impressive improvements.
According to rumors and leaks, the PS5 Pro will feature a custom AMD Ryzen CPU with 8 cores and 16 threads, clocked at 3.5 GHz. The GPU will be a custom AMD Radeon RDNA 2 with 36 compute units, capable of delivering 10.28 teraflops of power. The PS5 Pro will also have 16 GB of GDDR6 RAM and 1 TB of SSD storage. These specs are similar to the PS5, but with higher clock speeds and more compute units, resulting in faster loading times, smoother frame rates, and higher resolutions.
The PS5 Pro will also support 8K resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, ray tracing, and variable refresh rate. These features will make the games look more realistic, detailed, and immersive, especially on compatible TVs and monitors. The PS5 Pro will also have a new cooling system that will reduce the noise and heat output of the console, as well as a new controller that will have improved haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a built-in microphone.
The PS5 Pro will be compatible with all PS5 games, as well as most PS4 games. However, some PS5 games will have exclusive features or modes for the PS5 Pro, such as higher resolutions, frame rates, or graphical settings. Some of the games that are rumored to have PS5 Pro enhancements are God of War: Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, Final Fantasy XVI, and Resident Evil Village.
How much will the PS5 Pro cost and when will it launch
The PS5 Pro's price and release date are still unknown, but we can make some educated guesses based on Sony's previous consoles. The PS4 Pro launched in 2016, three years after the PS4, and cost $399, which was the same price as the PS4 at launch. The PS5 launched in 2020, and cost $499 for the standard edition and $399 for the digital edition. Therefore, we can expect the PS5 Pro to launch in 2023, three years after the PS5, and cost around $499, which is the same price as the PS5 standard edition.
However, these are just estimates, and the actual price and release date may vary depending on various factors, such as the supply and demand of the components, the competition from other gaming consoles, and the market conditions. Sony may also offer different bundles or discounts for the PS5 Pro, such as including a game, a subscription, or a peripheral. We will have to wait until the reveal event to find out the exact details.
