The news of incoming hardware always gets people talking, especially if it's a mid-cycle refresh that, despite the success of the PlayStation 4 Pro, continues to draw controversy and hot takes. Most recently, an insider confirmed that Sony has sent out developer kits already and they're internally expecting the specifications to leak online.
True enough, the potential hardware housed inside the PlayStation 5 Pro is now on the internet. Not only that, but the latest news from Jeff Grubb is that Sony is aiming to release PS5 Pro in September 2024, which is less than a year from now and in line with previous rumors.
The Giant Bomb insider suggests a release window of September 2024 for the PS5 Pro but cautiously notes the fluidity of such plans. Interestingly, Grubb mentions Sony hasn't finalized the specs for the PS5 Pro, which is an eyebrow-raising detail considering the suggested proximity of the release date. Grubb hints at the console featuring Sony's proprietary version of DLSS (deep learning super sampling), a technology that uses machine learning to upscale images to higher resolutions and frame rates. This feature, if true, could significantly enhance the PS5 Pro's performance compared to the base PS5 and rival Xbox consoles.
Further credibility to these claims is lent by corroboration from other sources. A post on ResetEra detailed the supposed hardware specifications for the PS5 Pro, which held up under scrutiny.
