We won’t have to wait much longer for official details on the PlayStation 5 Pro. Sony has scheduled a PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation, streaming at 11 AM ET on September 10 via the PlayStation YouTube channel.
All signs point to this event being the official unveiling of the PS5 Pro. Mark Cerny, the lead architect of the PS5, will host the presentation, focusing on “PS5 and innovations in gaming technology.” This announcement comes shortly after Sony teased a redesigned PS5 in an image that aligns with numerous PS5 Pro leaks. Industry speculation has long suggested the company would reveal the PS5 Pro ahead of the holiday shopping season, with mid-September as the likely timeframe.
With a tagline reading “The Journey Continues” featured in a teaser video, it’s clear big news is coming. For reference, Cerny previously showcased the PS5’s specs in a 2020 livestream, following a pivot from the Game Developers Conference due to COVID-19.
Rumors around the PS5 Pro suggest that the upgraded console will offer improved, consistent frame rates at 4K resolution and an 8K performance mode for supported games. It is said to deliver game rendering speeds 45% faster than the standard PS5, while its ray-tracing performance could be two to three times more powerful.
