Huge PS5 Pro leak suggests console unveiling soon – and gives first look at design

The long-awaited unveiling of the PS5Pro could be just a matter of days, as a reliable source has claimed that the souped-up PS5 console will be announced “very soon,” and the same insider has also given us a first look at the machine’s possible design.

Dealabs leaker billbil-kun has a long track record of providing accurate information – the user is best known for leaking upcoming monthly PlayStation Plus games – and the anonymous insider has just revealed arguably his biggest scoop yet in a Exclusive report.

Discovered by VGCbillbil-kun claims that the much-rumored console will indeed be called PS5 Pro (which seemed almost certain after the PS4 Pro) and that its official announcement is planned for “the first half of September.”

However, the leaker points out that “Sony’s plans are subject to change at any time,” so you might not want to cancel your plans for the first six months just yet.

Could this be our first look at the PS5 Pro?

As if the information from the reveal window wasn’t telling enough, the same source may have just given us a first look at the PS5 Pro’s design.

According to billbil-kun, the PS5 Pro will largely follow the same design as the regular PS5 and PS5 Sim, but with a few changes. The Pro will come in white as standard, but will feature three black stripes down the middle of the console.

The leaker claims to have access to an image of the console’s final packaging, but is unable to share this due to copyright restrictions and has instead drawn a sketch of the console itself, which you can see above.

In terms of size, the PS5 Pro will be thicker than the PS5 Slim, but whether it will match the monster size of the first-generation PS5 is unclear. Fans of physical media will also be disappointed that the presented image of the PS5 Pro does not include a disc drive, but as with the PS5 Slim, Sony may be planning to sell an attachable drive as an optional extra.

Finally, the report also points out that the PS5 Pro will ship with a regular DualSense controller and not the super-stylish but very expensive DualSense Edge.

Is this PS5 Pro leak real?

As mentioned, billbil-kun definitely has the track record that tells me this report might have substance. However, even the most trusted leakers in the world can make mistakes (often through no fault of their own, as information and plans can change), so take everything above with a healthy pinch of salt.

Until Sony makes an official statement on the PS5 Pro – which, to be clear, it hasn’t done in any form – all details should be considered unconfirmed. As it stands, the console’s existence is still uncertain. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the above details prove to be accurate and the big PS5 Pro reveal is imminent.

This is far from the first time we have heard unconfirmed details about the PS5 Pro. Previously, insiders claimed that the console was “100% in development” with one source even a Rumored Datasheet that suggests the gaming machine could be an 8K monster. We’ll have to wait and see if any of these leaks are ultimately true, but check out our PS5 Pro Hub for a complete summary of all the latest rumors.
