A new leak suggests that game developers have started receiving PlayStation 5 Pro devkits from Sony. There is no word about when the console will be unveiled, but it is unlikely to happen within the next six months or so.

Rumours about the PlayStation 5 Pro have been around well before the base console launched in 2020. Some of them ran wild, speculating that it would feature a dual-GPU setup. The PlayStation 5 has gone through multiple revisions since, even an SoC swap, but a Pro variant is nowhere on the horizon. That could change in the next year or two, according to a new report.
Industry insider Tez2 says that many developers have already received PS5 Pro devkits, or as they call it, "kits of mid-life upgrades". Those who haven't can expect to see one by early 2023. Unfortunately, Tez2 doesn't reveal much about its technical specifications. Besides, if the recently unveiled PlayStation 5 devkits are anything to go by, its specs will be nothing like the retail version. Among other things, it will likely pack a beefier AMD APU sprinkled with some RDNA 3 magic, a better cooling solution to keep thermals in check and hopefully, a 2 TB hard drive.
