Sony<\/strong> has officially announced <\/a>the Pro version of its PlayStation 5 gaming console. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
The PlayStation 5 Pro <\/strong>(PS5 Pro) will go on sale later this year and is said to feature better internals that aim to provide higher performance for demanding tasks such as Ray Tracing. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

- NIP Group launches game publishing division<\/a><\/li>\n
- Sony announces multi-year partnership with Esports World Cup Foundation<\/a><\/li>\n
- LCK Summer 2024 scores second highest-viewed split<\/a><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n
The PlayStation 5 was first launched in 2020 and has sold more than 60m units worldwide, making it one of the best-selling consoles of all time. The regular version has received several upgrades since its launch and Sony has also launched a slimmer version of the console in 2023.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nThe new console will be available in November worldwide and has been retailed at $699.99 or \u00a3699.99.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nThe PlayStation 5 Pro will feature an upgraded GPU which is reportedly around 45% faster than the one in the original PS5, as well as an entirely new upscaling technology Sony calls PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution. The AI-driven technology allows for the enhancement of visuals. However, this technology is aimed at the future rather than the present <\/a>due to PS5 Pro’s hardware limitations.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nTheoretically, the technology would enable the PS5 to provide a steady 60FPS at 4K resolution in some games. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nIn addition, the Pro will feature a larger, 2TB SSD unit and much more powerful hardware ray tracing capabilities (Sony noted double and sometimes triple the speed).<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nThe launch of the PlayStation 5 Pro is around four years into the console’s life, similar to the announcement of the PlayStation 4 Pro which was launched around three years after the original console. The new high-performance console will be compatible with existing accessories and will notably differ from the ‘regular; PS5 by having a large air slit on the side. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nThe PS5 is a notable esports console as well, with fighting games such as Tekken and Street Fighter usually played on PS5 at events, as well as EA FC and many racing simulators. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
