Sony is gearing up to unveil key details about the highly anticipated PlayStation 5 Pro. The company has announced a livestream event scheduled for September 10 at 11 AM ET on the official PlayStation YouTube channel. This event is expected to provide the first official glimpse of the PS5 Pro, featuring a tech demo hosted by PS5 chief architect, Mark Cerny.
The livestream will spotlight “PS5 and gaming technology innovation,” hinting strongly at the imminent launch of the PS5 Pro. Recent leaks and Sony’s release of a redesigned PS5 image suggest that the Pro model could be officially unveiled before mid-September, in time for the holiday shopping season.
Adding to the speculation, the trailer for the event includes the tagline: “The journey continues,” which aligns with Cerny’s previous appearance. He previously detailed the original PS5’s specifications during a 2020 livestream, which replaced a planned Game Developers Conference presentation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rumors indicate that the PS5 Pro will feature significant upgrades over the standard PS5. Expected enhancements include improved frame rates at 4K resolution and an 8K performance mode for supported games. The Pro is rumored to offer game rendering speeds that are 45% faster than the current PS5, and ray tracing capabilities that are two to three times quicker.
Stay tuned for the September 10 livestream to get all the official details about the PlayStation 5 Pro and its advanced features.
