State of Play: Sony presents 20 new games for PS5 today – leak with first details

Sony has promised to present news and updates on over 20 titles. Leaks have so far mentioned remasters of popular games such as Horizon: Zero Dawn and Days Gone. The technically revised versions could be released for both the PS5 and the PC.

Rumours also suggest that Resident Evil 9 could be unveiled during Sony’s State of Play on September 24, 2024, although Capcom has not confirmed this yet. After the success of Resident Evil 4 Remake and Resident Evil Village, the gaming community is eagerly awaiting news. A Reddit-Post from a well-known Brazilian profile who leaked the event date to journalist Jeff Grubb has fueled speculation.

Games at State of Play for Playstation 5 Pro – Major improvements planned

There is also speculation that Sony could announce new details about the recently unveiled PS5 Pro. The main focus here is likely to be on game optimizations.

The Playstation 5 Pro is expected to receive these improvements:

• Upgraded GPU: With the PS5 Pro, “we’re upgrading to a GPU that offers 67% more processing units than the current PS5 console and 28% faster memory.” Overall, this enables up to 45% faster rendering in gameplay, which should make the gaming experience significantly smoother.
• Advanced ray tracing capabilities: “We’ve added even more powerful ray tracing that enables more dynamic reflections and refractions.” This should allow the rays to be calculated twice, and sometimes even three times, faster than on the current PS5 console.
• AI-powered upscaling: Sony is also introducing “PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution,” an AI-powered upscaling based on machine learning “that delivers extremely sharp image clarity by adding exceptional detail,” it says.
