Since the launch of the PS5 four years ago, PlayStation has been working hard to develop its entertainment system and give gamers the experience they expect from Sony’s platform. For this reason, they have introduced the main characteristics of ‘PlayStation 5 Pro‘, a new tool that the company itself describes as the most advanced and innovative tool to date.

Improvement and GPU speed

With all this in mind, Sony assures that the new platform will run high fidelity images with smooth frame rates at 60 FPS. Likewise, it features an improved GPU, with 67% more computing units than the current PS5 console and 28% faster memory. Overall, this allows for up to 45% faster performance per game, making the experience much smoother.

The same thing happens in the Ray Tracing Plot, which has added an even stronger component that provides more energy reflection and refraction of light. This allows dice to be projected at double, and sometimes triple, the speed of the current PS5 console. For his part, the PLAYSTATION Spectral Super High (AI Enhanced) will give players superior visuals by adding an incredible amount of detail and high frame rates.

Other improvements that PS5 Pro will include will be Game Boost, which can be applied to more than 8,500 compatible PS4 games that can be played on PS5 Pro This feature can stabilize or improve the performance of compatible PS4 and PS5 games . Enhanced image quality for PS4 games is also available to improve resolution in select PS4 games. The PS5 Pro will launch with the latest wireless technology, Wi-Fi 7, in areas that support this standard. VRR and 8K gaming are also supported.
