Superior Graphics and Performance
The enhanced GPU rendering of the PS5 Pro is said to be 45% faster than its predecessor, resulting in superior ray-tracing capabilities up to four times. This improvement ensures stunning visuals and enhanced realism in games, taking your usual gaming experience to new heights.
Future-Proof Technology
Aside from that, Sony is looking ahead by incorporating 8K support into the PS5 Pro, although developers have yet to tap into this capability fully. Despite the current lack of 8K content, the inclusion of this feature ensures that the PS5 Pro is future-proofed, ready to deliver cutting-edge visuals as technology advances.

A Sony Playstation 5 video game console is displayed at the company's headquarters in Tokyo on January 31, 2023.
While initial reports hinted at a late 2024 release for the PS5 Pro, delays may push its arrival into the following year. The absence of new first-party Sony games scheduled until 2025 raises questions about the timing of the console's launch. However, an upcoming State of Play Direct conference is expected to provide clarity on the company's plans for new games and hardware.
Third-Party Blockbusters
In the meantime, PlayStation fans can look forward to a lineup of third-party blockbusters in 2024. Titles like Sea of Thieves, previously exclusive to Xbox, are making their way to the PS5, with the potential for more Xbox exclusives like Starfield and Halo to follow suit in the future.
Regarding its potential price, Digital Trends speculated that PS5 Pro's price may reach over $600. That's at least a $100 increase from the usual price of the standard PlayStation 5 model.
For Grand Theft Auto fans who are waiting to explore the cities of GTA 6 on PS5 Pro, you might be wondering how the game will run on PS5 Pro. According to the analysts, the rumored console might not allow Rockstar's action-packed game to run at 60fps. Instead, it will only run at 30fps.
