PlayStation 5 Prothe improved version of the console PS5, Is falling. So close that most analysts expect the launch to occur within end of 2024, coinciding, precisely, with the start of the Christmas campaign. This is reported by ‘The Verge’, a medium that states that the machine is already being tested by video game development companies. And it will also be much more powerful, and will offer better graphics, than the version that can currently be purchased.
The machine’s GPU, which is what allows games to look their best on screen, will improve the most. According to internal Sony documents, processing is expected to be “approximately 45 percent faster than the standard PlayStation 5.” Which guarantees better graphics and fluidity. Ray tracing technology, key during the current generation of consoles and which significantly improves the lighting of the titles, will also take a leap. The desktop CPU will be the same; but in the version that the developers have received there is a new mode that allows speeding up processing.
On paper, a noticeably more powerful machine is promised that will be able to play all the video games that, over the last four years, have been expanding the PS5 catalog. Obviously, the Pro version will continue to be backward compatible with PlayStation 4 titles.
Sony’s goal is for developers to begin adapting their titles so that they are able to take advantage of the console. All those that are subjected to the process and reach stores, once the launch is confirmed, will do so with a label that shows that they have been created to take advantage of the power of PlayStation 5. This also applies to currently existing games, that the Japanese firm hopes will be adapted. Something that will surely happen with the great exponents of the company itself, such as ‘God of War: Ragnarok’ or ‘Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’.
The information shared by ‘The Verge’ is in line with other leaks that have been made in recent months. As pointed out a month ago by the specialized site ‘Insider Gaming’, the PlayStation 5 Pro will offer 8k resolution in video games at 60 images per second and 4k at 120. To date, PS5 only reaches 60 FPS in performance mode, and this is when The player prioritizes the gaming experience over the quality of the image that appears on the screen.
PS6, in three or four years
That Sony is working to launch a new, more powerful version of PlayStation 5 makes perfect sense. The PS4 Pro, launched in November 2016, was key for the Japanese company to market nearly 120 million units of its previous desktop.
Added to all this is the fact that PS5 sales are currently set at around 50 million units, according to data shared by Sony last December. Almost the same as what PS4 achieved in the same lifetime. And this is quite a milestone, especially if you take into account that until just a year ago the machine was almost impossible to buy without resorting to resale, since the shortage of chips prevented demand from being met.
The launch of the new model can help increase sales and even surpass those achieved by PS4 before the arrival of the foreseeable PS6, which is expected between 2027 and 2028.
