Sony will launchPS5 Pro on November 7. Priced at $700 / £700 / €800, it will include a 2TB SSD and a DualSense wireless controller, but a disc drive will need to be purchased separately.
According to Sony, PS5 Pro has a GPU with 67% more Compute Units than the current PS5 console and 28% faster memory. What this means is that, overall, PS5 Pro has 45% faster rendering for gameplay, “making the experience much smoother”.
Meanwhile, advanced ray tracing allows in-game light rays to be cast at “double, and at times triple”, the speeds of the current PS5 console.
PS5 Pro also introduces PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, an AI-driven upscaling that uses a machine learning-based technology to provide sharper image clarity, according to Sony.
