PS5 Pro FAQ – Release Date, Price, Specs & More – Everything You Need To Know About PlayStation 5 Pro

Want to know what the

release date, price and specs are? Though it might not seem it, the PlayStation 5 will be having its fourth birthday in 2024 and while Sony’s current-gen console is still capable of kicking out some stunning visuals, it’s also clear that the relentless march of technology has meant that while still highly capable, the PlayStation 5 is starting to show its age somewhat. This is perhaps most obvious when looking at Unreal Engine 5 games running on PS5 such as Immortals of Aveum and Lords of the Fallen, as it’s clear that a substantial trade off in image quality was required in both cases to get them running at a suitable framerate.

As such, Sony repeating its trick of a mid-gen refresh (as it did previously with the PS4 Pro) is perhaps more essential this generation than it was in the last, thanks to the much more technically demanding games that are now available. With PS5 Pro, such trade offs are set to be a thing of the past, thanks to not just the improved hardware but also the apparent inclusion of custom DLSS-like upscaling technology that would allow the PS5 Pro to run taxing games at higher resolutions and framerates than would be currently achievable on the PS5.

Here is everything you need to know about the PlayStation 5 Pro.
