The PlayStation 5 Pro and Nintendo Switch 2, the latest members of Sony Interactive Entertainment and Nintendo’s growing family of video game consoles, could both be revealed in September, according to new rumors that have been shared online. One leaker claims that Sony has a “big announcement” that will take place next week, while another has heard that the press has already gotten wind of a Switch 2 reveal coming this month.
Insider “Lunatic Ignus” shared on Discord:
- “Sony will hold a pretty big State of Play next week, the ‘big’ announcement that all of you are eagerly waiting will take place on Tuesday/Wednesday.”
- “(For those asking how big, it will have First party content including a “world premiere” that i am waiting for).”
- “Not 100% about the ‘World Premiere’ being at this event or TGA, take it with a grain of salt.”
- “@Gamers I am sorry for another tag, but i was a little bit wrong about this, i mixed some things here.”
- “The ‘big announcement’ will take place next week and the sop will take place on 19-20 September.”
As for what Nintendo might have planned:
Seems a bunch of press have heard this. But I still wouldn't bet my house on it. https://t.co/8gPlmsO8VZ

From an earlier report:
Sony expects GPU rendering on the PS5 Pro to be “about 45 percent faster than standard PlayStation 5,” according to documents outlining the upcoming console. The PS5 Pro GPU will be larger and use faster system memory to help improve ray tracing in games. Sony is also using a “more powerful ray tracing architecture” in the PS5 Pro, where the speed here is up to three times better than the regular PS5.
