Sony hints at PlayStation 5 Pro as part of 30th anniversary celebrations: A more elegant and powerful console is expected

Tech giant Sony has officially hinted at the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro, a mid-generation upgrade to its hugely successful PlayStation 5 console. This exciting reveal coincides with the celebration of the brand’s 30th anniversary. In a blog post marking the milestone, Sony shared an intriguing image showing two different PS5 consoles – one that closely resembles the existing PS5 and another with a new design, sparking speculation about the PS5 Pro.

PlayStation fans were quick to notice that while the teaser shared on social media only showed the standard model of the PS5, the blog image told a different story (via HT Tech). The blog post includes a lead image showing both consoles, further fueling anticipation for the Pro model. Sony subtly showcased two different console designs in its social media and blog content, leading to increasing excitement for the upcoming Pro version.

What’s particularly interesting about the image is how the PS5’s design differs from that of the Pro console. The familiar PS5 design is characterized by a single stripe on the side panels, while the new console, rumored to be the PS5 Pro, features three stripes – a clear difference. This visual difference has led to widespread speculation that the design in question represents a new addition to the PlayStation family. Officially, no other product in Sony’s lineup features this unique design, further strengthening the theory that this is indeed the PS5 Pro.

As for what the PS5 Pro will offer, leaks suggest that Sony’s aim is to deliver a true 4K gaming experience at 60 frames per second. This level of performance has been a challenge for the current PS5, but the new console is expected to overcome this limitation with a more robust GPU. While the CPU is likely to see only a minor improvement – likely clocked at around 3.85GHz, around 10% faster than the current model – the graphics capabilities are likely to be game-changing for Sony’s next-gen offering.

Rumored to launch later this year, the PS5 Pro, codenamed “Trinity,” will offer fans a glimpse into the future of console gaming. With improved performance and a revamped design, this mid-cycle refresh is set to raise the bar for home gaming systems.
