Last year, we got sources confirming that we'd see the PS5 Pro sometime during the current generation's mid-life, while it was recently rumored to be the most powerful home device ever released, but nothing is official yet.

The likely time for the launch of the PS5 Pro, according to some sources, is early next September 2024, since almost 4 years have passed since the launch of the PlayStation 5, and given what Sony did with the PS4 Pro, the date seems logical.

The PlayStation 5 Pro device must have strong capabilities that contribute to making the player truly able to determine the difference between it and the regular PS5 device. For example, Sony could employ artificial intelligence to place it as an exclusive feature for the device or, for example, significantly increase its performance, but there are 3 features that would be present in the device in question. It will certainly make it worth the purchase.

Features expected to be present in PS5 Pro

• Noticeably better performance than the current PlayStation 5.
• Titles that explore the capabilities of the device with a notable difference among players compared to the current PS5.
• Simple, modern and attractive design.

Better performance than the current PlayStation 5

The gaming community is always looking for what attracts them to get the best gaming experience on home devices and to explore their technical capabilities to the fullest. During the first two years of the current Sony device's life, some games offered multiple experience modes, such as resolution and performance modes. For example, resolution mode provided better lighting and stronger graphics, while performance mode provided the player with a higher frame rate, and the reason is that these games were intended for the PS4.

But after looking at current-gen games, we started to see a lot of titles struggling to achieve stable frame rates, even though they were intended for the current generation. So if we want something from the upcoming Pro device, we want stable performance, not stuttering, and that's something the team at Insomniac Games has managed to do with their games, such as Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart and Spider-Man 2.

It is also worth noting that it is obvious that the mid-generation “Pro” device has a faster central processor and a more powerful graphics processor, with larger random access memory (RAM) and storage size of up to one tera, with total capacity. support for improved Ray Tracing technology and, finally, support for 120fps frame rate in more games.

Titles that explore the device's capabilities with a notable difference compared to the PS5

In the past, it has been difficult to assess the performance of the PlayStation 5 due to the presence of titles shared between it and the PlayStation 4. Currently, when the Pro version launches, the PS5 will be the least capable, and the games will be released shared between it and the Pro, so we expect to see games that take greater advantage of the capabilities of the devices. So far, for example, we haven't gotten many games that fully exploit the capabilities of the PS5 device, except for games from the Insomniac Games team.

The most talked about features of the Pro device are frame rate acceleration and ray tracing technology, as well as increased performance and technology to reach 8K. While the latter is very doubtful, it would be nice to get titles dedicated to features related only to the PlayStation 5 Pro, so we'll have to wait and see.

Simple, modern and attractive design

Last year, Sony released a lighter, removable-disc version of the PS5 and made it the current certified device so that it could stop manufacturing the device we saw at the beginning of the generation. The device was attractive for several reasons, the most important of which was the dividing line between the removable disc and the cover of the device itself, and that was enough to attract the attention of gamers.

One of the reasons that could contribute and help increase sales of the PlayStation 5 Pro when it is released is the design. Sony should avoid mistakes in the design of the PS4 Pro and make the design of the next device as simple and contemporary with current technologies and as attractive as possible, because there is a category of gamers who do not care about capabilities, but only about order. make the decision to buy the device or not.

These are the features, our followers, that we believe, if present in the PlayStation 5 Pro, could really make it worth buying, regardless of the price. What do you think?
