Finally, Sony has unveiled the long-rumored PS5 Pro, but be prepared for sticker shock as the price tag may disappoint.
During today’s PS5 Technical Presentation, Sony officially acknowledged the widely speculated existence of a PS5 Pro version. Years of speculation have led many to believe that an upgraded PS5 would eventually arrive. PlayStation itself has fueled these rumors with subtle hints over time. To provide insight into this long-awaited console, PS5 architect Mark Cerny recently offered a detailed look at the key features that set it apart from its predecessor.
Unlike its predecessor, the PS5 Professional boasts numerous upgrades. The PlayStation 5 Pro boasts a significantly upgraded graphics processing unit (GPU), coupled with advanced ray-tracing capabilities and AI-driven upscaling technology known as PSSR, which collectively help alleviate the strain on graphical rendering. The key idea driving these primary enhancements is to strike a balance between maximizing energy output and maintaining visual coherence. Cerny highlighted the differences between the efficiency and constancy modes on the PS5 and the PS5 Pro by showcasing the impact on game performance, demonstrating how titles run smoother and more efficiently in the latter.
