New Model Expected, Too?! PS 5 Technical Presentation to Air September 10 at 8AM PDT, 11AM EDT, 4PM BST!

The Pro Model That Delivers the Best Graphics

The PlayStation 5 Pro (hereafter referred to as PS5 Pro) is an upgraded version of the PS5, the latest PlayStation model that is currently providing a wonderful gaming experience around the world.
With the high specs of the latest game consoles and gaming PCs, including the PS5, recent game titles have become incredibly detailed and visually stunning.
To address the desires of those who want to play these titles with even higher-definition graphics at a smooth 60FPS frame rate, the PS5 Pro features significant upgrades on the graphics side.
Compared to the current PS5 GPU, compute units increased by 67%, GPU memory is 28% faster, and rendering speed is up to 45% faster during gameplay. The ray tracing function is 2 to 3 times faster, enabling more dynamic light reflection and refraction.
It introduces PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), a new AI-based resolution enhancement technology. This AI-powered upscaling utilizes machine learning to significantly enhance detail and produce sharp visuals.

While that sounds incredible to read, to be honest, the visuals on the current PS5 are already amazingly beautiful, so many people might not notice the difference.
Since seeing is believing, the released PS5 Technical Presentation shows a visual comparison of the PS5 and PS5 Pro! The visuals are truly breathtaking!

With the PS5 Pro, you can play not only PS5 titles but also over 8,500 PS4 titles. (Note: the number of titles varies by country and region) Furthermore, with the Game Boost feature of the PS5 Pro, the performance of supported PS5 and PS4 titles may be stabilized or improved!
You'll probably be able to enjoy the PS4 titles you've played extensively in a new light with the enhanced graphics.
Additionally, the PS5 Pro is a feature-rich package, as it also supports Wi-Fi 7, VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), and 8K resolution!
