Our information on the new PlayStation console​

Here we detail the information we have managed to get about the upcoming new PlayStation console.

1. Official name​

No surprises to have here, because we now have the certainty that the console will be called "PS5 Pro".

2. Design of the PS5 Pro​

We were able to obtain a visual from the front panel of the final packaging carton of the new console. This allowed us to get an idea about the final design of the PS5 Pro that has never leaked before. For copyright reasons, we will not be able to share this visual. However, you can see below a sketch designed by us that illustrates the design of the PS5 Pro.

Thus, it is possible to see a design very similar to that of the PS5 Slim. The same white color of the outer facade of the console will be found. 2 USB-C ports and the power button will also be present on the front of the console.

The first difference from our sketch is the presence of three black stripes in the middle of the exterior facades of the PS5 Pro. However, the type of exterior facade remains similar to that of the PS5 Slim. And we imagine that it is possible to reuse the spare facades designed for the PS5 Slim.

The other difference we can only see since the final visual of the PS5 Pro is its thickness. Indeed, the PS5 Pro appears slightly thicker than the PS5 Slim.

3. 3. Disc reader absent?​

Unfortunately, we are not yet sure about this. Indeed, the visual we have comes from a PS5 Pro without a disc player. However, and even if we think that will not be the case, we ignore the existence of a record player edition. Although it may be possible to put a disk drive (like the PS5 Slim).

It is thought to be a commercial choice of Sony, in order to launch this console on the market with a competitive price by reducing the cost of the presence (optional for some) of a record player.

4. Type of joystick included with the PS5 Pro​

Unfortunately, there will be no new features on this, and we will always have the same DualSense controller included with the PS5 Pro in white color (this is already included in the PS5 and the PS5 Slim).

5. Announcement date​

Although Sony's plans may change at any time, the PS5 Pro will be announced very soon. We anticipate that this announcement will be made in the first half of September 2024.

Very similar to the current model so the disc drive will still be compatible and they're gonna sell it as digital only to make it seem cheaper than it actually is. But if that price is still 599 no one will care.

 

[Bryank75]

Wow, that's great.

Looks like it's very similar in design language.

I think we all assumed the disc drive would sell separately....now we just need the price and to see the finish.

 

[ConcentratedBuffoonery]

Yeah I'm thinking $599 for digital and $650 for disc

Digital 599, pass?

 

[YeezyDude]

The sooner, the better

Well it looks like we're about 1-2 weeks away from its reveal... I think we've been waiting like 2 years for this at least... So I think this thing is out mid-November 2024 or a little bit later than that. Anyway... This should be good!

 

[Cool hand luke]

Digital 599, pass?

I only play my games on PS5 digitally even though it has a disc drive so no difference for me, and I can always buy the disc attachment if needed.

Me too. I hope it won't sell out very fast so I can get one ASAP!

 

[Say1nMan]

I’m planning to trade in my PS5 at GameStop for the pro.

 

[Remember_Spinal]

Got 400 dollars in credit waiting for it.

And it uses the same plates as the slim so I’ll be buying new black plates also

Exactly I'll get some midnight black (Or well black if it's different than the PS5 ones) plates for it too... I wonder if the stand is included or not... If not well I think I'll get it anyway. And well as well as a 2 TB or 4 TB's NVME M.2 SSD... Man this is going to be a good day... Oh and a midnight black controller, headset and maybe some day if needed a charger for 2 PS5/PS5 Pro controllers if there's no huge difference. Yeah this is about to feel like 2021-2023 for me again!

Slim / Pro

Slim / Pro

With these gills it'd be the first ever console to be able to breathe underwater

Launch PS5 design still best by far. The notches are ugly in the economy model and this mock-up.
