Speaking to CNBC, analysts have said that Sony is likely to release a PlayStation 5 Pro by the end of this year.
“There seems to be a broad consensus in the game industry that Sony is indeed preparing a launch of a PS5 Pro in the second half of 2024,” Serkan Toto, CEO of Tokyo-based games consultancy Kantan Games, told CNBC.
“And Sony will want to make sure to have a great piece of hardware ready when GTA VI hits in 2025, a launch that will be a shot in the arm for the entire gaming industry”, it was said.
Insider Gaming exclusively reported in March 2023 that PlayStation was gearing up to launch a PlayStation 5 Pro, which was then followed up by my report on Key to Gaming on spec details.
According to sources, the PlayStation 5 Pro is known as Project Trinity internally and is scheduled to release later this year. However, Sony’s recent earnings call revealed that the company does not have any major existing franchise released for the PlayStation 5 until April 2025, which could be an indicator that the PlayStation 5 Pro release could be delayed. After all, a release alongside GTA 6 in the holiday of 2025, alongside a major game such as Death Stranding 2 could be a major factor for those purchasing a new console.
Details on the specifications of the console are slim, with sources citing that the majority of information currently out there on the specs is nothing but educated guesses. Key to Gaming reported that the PS5 Pro will have 30 WGP and 18000mts memory.
