The successor to the PlayStation 5 will hit the shelves in time for the Christmas season. Leakers are tripping over this information. Everything new about the PS5 Pro.

Hamburg – The PS5 Pro is getting closer and closer and it seems that November 2024 is the month that PlayStation fans around the world can look forward to. Several well-known insiders have now confirmed that the more powerful version of the PlayStation 5 is set to hit the market at that time. But what else do we know about the launch and the console itself?

Insiders confirm November 2024 as release date

There was a lot of speculation about the release and announcement of the PS5 Pro after Sony’s silence at Gamescom. However, three well-known sources within the gaming community suddenly named November 2024 as the official release date for the PS5 Pro:

  • Insider Gaming: Tom Henderson, probably the best-known gaming insider (after journalist Jason Schreier), had already reported in 2023 that the PS5 Pro was in development and could be released in late 2024. For Insider Gaming, Henderson specified late September 5th, now November 2024 as the planned launch month of the PS5 Pro.
  • Billbil-kun: The well-known leaker, who has already made many correct predictions about Sony products and PS+ on a monthly basis, also pointed to November as the release period. His leaks about the PS5 Pro include details about the design of the console, which were most recently revealed in a teaser from Sony.
  • Tom Warren: The journalist from The edge There has also been speculation that the PS5 Pro will be released in November 2024. Warren has often made correct predictions about gaming hardware in the past, which is why his statements are considered particularly trustworthy in the scene.

How credible is the information?

These three sources together provide strong evidence that Sony will launch the PS5 Pro in time for the Christmas season. Overall, all three insiders are considered very reliable and accurate. The release leaks are given more weight because further details about the PS5 Pro were revealed – some of which were accidentally confirmed by Sony.

Sony recently released an image for the PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, in which fans discovered the design of the PS5 Pro. With its distinctive three black stripes in the middle, the PS5 Pro is clearly different from the standard model and makes it clear visually that it stands for more power.

Performance – Difference to the normal PS5: In terms of performance, leaks suggest that the PS5 Pro will offer up to 45% faster rendering times than the standard PS5 and will feature a new resolution scaling called PSSR. There is also speculation that it will have 2TB of expanded storage, which could make it the perfect console for hardcore gamers.

PS5 Pro announcement still in September?

The countdown is running: While the release is expected in November, several leakers believe that the official announcement of the PS5 Pro could come as early as September 2024 – more precisely, around September 16. From this date, all new games released for the PS5 will also be compatible with the PS5 Pro. This means that developers are already preparing to take advantage of the additional performance capabilities of the new console.

The price of the PS5 Pro is said to be around $600 (this is still unconfirmed). With more and more leaks and a possible announcement in September, the hype around the PS5 Pro is gaining momentum. Now we just have to wait until Sony finally pulls back the curtain and we might finally be able to hold the PS5 Pro in our hands in November.
