The PlayStation 5 Pro, an updated version of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s video game console that is expected to deliver several improvements over the base model, including 45% faster GPU rendering and improved ray tracing performance, will be available in two options, including a £589.99 “Deluxe” edition with disc drive and improved DualSense controller that is releasing on Thursday, December 5, according to recent rumors that have been shared online. The rumors come from @BrianTheInsider, who accurately reported last month that Sony would be hosting a PS5 technical presentation on September 10, 2024.
@BrianTheInsider writes:
- “Listen up! PS5 Pro Digital lands Nov 14th at £499.99.”
- “Fancy the deluxe? The PS5 Pro arrives Dec 5th at £589.99.”
- “PS5 Pro comes with an improved DualSense—more battery life and enhanced triggers.”
- “The PS5 Pro’s packing HDR10+ and Dolby Vision for select streaming services and physical media.”
