Sony officially revealed the PlayStation 5 Pro on September 10, 2024, at 11:33PM ET, with a price tag of $700 and a release date of November 7. Leading up to this announcement, Sony had announced a PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation hosted by Mark Cerny, the lead architect of the PS5, scheduled for 11AM ET on September 10 on the PlayStation YouTube channel. Speculations suggest this presentation will focus on the “PS5 and innovations in gaming technology,” hinting at the official unveiling of the PS5 Pro. Just days before this announcement, Sony had teased a redesigned PS5, aligning with previous PS5 Pro leaks. The PS5 Pro rumor mill suggests that this mid-cycle refresh will offer improved frame rates at 4K resolution and an 8K performance mode in supported games. Additionally, the Pro is rumored to have 45 percent faster game rendering and ray-tracing capabilities two to three times faster than the standard PS5. This news comes after Cerny detailed the PS5’s specs in a livestream in 2020, showcasing the company’s commitment to innovative gaming technology. The story was updated on September 10, 2024, at 9:05AM ET to include a link to the PlayStation livestream.
