lol 8K, people need to stop being dumb. 8K is pointless and won’t even be a thing next gen.

I’m doubtful that the Pro will even deliver 4K@60 for most titles, developers will still favour other things over outright resolution and fps.

While a 10% increase in CPU clock speed and 1.2GB extra system memory doesn’t seem like a particularly ground-breaking overhaul

Now that hugely ambitious games like Lords of the Fallen and Dragon’s Dogma 2 are struggling to maintain solid frame rates on the base console, this could be the ticket for those searching for the smoothest possible experiences.

One of the main reasons for struggling to maintain framerates is a CPU limitation due to ambition and poor optimization. A 10% CPU bump isn't going to cut it. Even my 13700K+4090 is CPU limited at 4K in Dragons Dogma 2 in the city, can't keep a solid 60 in the city there even with DLSS.
 
I'm a bit worried about fan noise and coil whine due to the increased power consumption, hopefully they don't end up with a PS4 Pro situation. I still have PTSD from that jet.

Considering it but still have a few concerns (price in SA, noise, 3rd party developer support in an era where rushed release dates are so common).

From the Xbox leak it sounds like they expect the PS6 after 2027, so 2028. That's a long 4 years with developers that are already very close to 1080p before upscaling.

But I get the feeling that this is just a taste of what's coming. PSSR and some RDNA4 raytracing benefits are nice but I can just imagine when this tech matures for the PS6.
I'm sure Microsoft is cooking up some nice stuff for 2026/27 as well with them trying to imitate the 360s headstart over the PS3

Might be louder than the current PS5 but no way will it be anywhere near PS4 levels of noise.

I’ll get one day one. They have really good trade in systems here so I don’t expect it to be too expensive to upgrade.

Day one for me as well - I'm a sucker for a new console.

I did the trade-in thing when I went from the PS4 to the Pro as well, but those sorts of stores went the way of the dodo some time ago in these parts.

We have EB Games here but they are struggling.

We have JB Hi-Fi which is a huge chain store, they sell all kinds of tech stuff so they are going strong. On the gaming side they still do trade in deals so I have a couple of options.
 
I watched this vid yesterday, Im interested to see local pricing when this launches, as always it'll be a niche product, and a nice to have
 
It will be low volume for sure. But it will be a marketing vehicle. As for timing, as long as it comes before GTA VI Sony are golden.
 
With the latest raft of "next gen" games using UE5 like The First Descendant/Nobody Wants to Die/RoboCop, it seems like internal 1440p/30 (with 1080p/60 in less CPU intensive titles) is going to be the standard for good PS5 3rd party devs before upscaling.

When I see how good upscaling tech looks (DLSS, XeSS 1.3, that temporal magic in Horizon Forbidden West's performance mode) at lower resolutions (1080p), I think that PSSR is going to be fantastic boost to image quality over FSR if 3rd party devs can implement it fairly easily.


We also got our first leaked glimpse as to what the raw power boost can do. No Mans Sky was updated with a PS5 Pro profile codenamed Trinity, which increases the resolution from 1296p to 1728p which is quite a boost (and minor boost to water quality). Still using FSR though but that can change later on.
 
I’m expecting PSSR to be better and very easy to implement. Because Cerny.

If it can take 1080p to 1440p (should be easily achieved) things will look gorgeous and will give devs a lot of flexibility in other areas.

- PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling and anti-aliasing tech, Playstation Machine Learning (PML) and an AI Accelerator that supports 300 TOPS of 8 bit computation / 67 TFLOPS of 16-bit floating point. 2ms computation time penalty from 1080p->4K (DLSS on PC is 1.7ms) but optimization is ongoing.

Also leaked, two Case Studies of the PSSR tech for two unnamed first-party games :
Game 1 :
Standard PlayStation 5 1080p/60FPS Performance mode and 1800p/30FPS Fidelity mode
PlayStation 5 Pro – additional 1440p/60FPS mode using PSSR

@AdrianH thought you might find these leaks about PSSR interesting.

Official name: No surprises here, as we now know for certain that the console will indeed be called "PS5 Pro".

PS5 Pro design: We were able to obtain a visual of the front of the new console's final packaging. This gave us an idea of the PS5 Pro's final design, which has never been leaked before. For copyright reasons, we won't be able to share this visual. However, you can see below a sketch we drew illustrating the design of the PS5 Pro.

The design is very similar to that of the PS5 Slim. The console's exterior is the same white color. 2 USB-C ports and the power button will also be present on the console's front panel. The first difference to be noticed from our sketch is the presence of three black stripes in the middle of the PS5 Pro's exterior. However, the type of front panel remains similar to that of the PS5 Slim. And we imagine that it will be possible to re-use the replacement front panels designed for the PS5 Slim.

No disc drive?
Unfortunately, we're not quite sure about this yet. After all, the visual we have is of a PS5 Pro without a disc drive. However, and even if we don't think this will be the case, we're not aware of the existence of an edition with a disc drive. Although it will undoubtedly be possible to affix a disc drive (as with the PS5 Slim), we think this is more a commercial choice on Sony's part, in order to launch this console onto the market at a competitive price by reducing the cost of the (optional for some) presence of a disc drive.

They are know to be trustworthy leakers so yeah seems legit. Also looks like the kind of revisionist design Sony normally goes with.

Wonder about the size though, should be interesting.

Day 1 for me. With trade in it might not be too bad.
