PS5 Pro to be announced in September, console design leaked

The
existence
of
a
PS5
“Pro”
model
is
basically
an
open
secret
at
this
point,
with
some
people
even
saying
that
developers
at
Gamescom
were
openly
discussing
its
existence.
That’s
just
left
us
twiddling
our
thumbs,
waiting
to
see
when
Sony
might
finally
lift
the
lid
on
its
console
refresh.

Well,
it
seems
like
we
won’t
be
waiting
much
longer.

According
to
Dealabs
user
billbil-kun
,
who
has
an
impressive
track
record,
Sony
will
be
officially
announcing
the
new
console,
which
will
indeed
be
called
the
PS5
Pro,
in
the
first
half
of
September.

You
can
read
the
article
via
Google
Translate
here.

But
billbil-kun’s
information
runs
even
deeper
than
that,
as
he
claims
to
have
gotten
hold
of
the
official
packaging
for
the
console.
Citing
copyright
reasons,
billbil-kun
couldn’t
share
the
actual
packaging
and
instead
made
the
drawing
above.
As
you
can
see,
it
looks
pretty
much
like
the
existing
PS5
Slim,
but
with
a
new
set
of
stripes
halfway
down
the
machine’s
exterior.
billbil-kun
does
say
the
it
appears
slightly
thicker
than
the
slim.

The
author
speculates
that
the
faceplates
may
be
compatible
with
existing
options.

The
model
shown
clearly
doesn’t
have
a
disc-drive,
and
billbil-kun
states
that
they
are
currently
unsure
if
there
will
be
a
version
with
the
drive
included.

Finally,
the
article
confirms
the
console
will
ship
with
the
standard
Dualsense
controller.

Sadly,
no
new
details
on
the
console’s
performance
were
revealed.

Back
in
April,
Youtuber
Moore’s
Law
is
Dead
leaked
official
Sony
documents
discussing
the
machine.

These
documents
were
verified
by
IGN,
but
the
original
video
was
taken
down
by
a
copyright
claim
by
Sony,
essentially
confirming
them
to
be
real.

It’s
difficult
to
get
an
exact
idea
of
the
performance
increase
we
can
expect
to
see
because
changes
in
architecture
make
it
tricky
to
compare.
At
a
rough
guess
though,
it
seems
like
we
could
be
looking
at
anywhere
from
30%-45%
faster
overall,
based
on
the
ongoing
arguments
from
around
the
Internet.
That
doesn’t
account
for
the
new
PSSR
machine
learning
though,
which
could
be
the
console’s
secret
sauce.

Does
the
PS5
Pro
appeal
to
you,
or
are
you
happy
with
your
existing
PS5?
