PlayStation 5 Pro Coming in Style: The End of Gaming

Hey guys! Take a deep breath because Sony has finally released what everyone has been waiting for: the PlayStation 5 Pro! If you thought Sony had already reached its peak with the PS5, get ready because the PS5 Pro is here to take it to the next level. We're talking about a real supermachine gaming, with jaw-dropping graphics, more processing power than many top-of-the-line gaming PCs out there, and all this to ensure that your games are the most smooth and immersive as possible. And best of all? There will be more than ever to make fun of long loading times and dropped frames.

A GPU That Puts Other Consoles to Shame

Let's start by talking about the heart of this beauty: the Updated GPU. Sony didn't mess around and put 67% more compute units compared to the standard PS5. In other words, your PS5 Pro will be processing pixels, shaders, and all that goodness at a faster speed than 28% more. In short, those little crashes that used to happen when the game exploded with a thousand enemies on the screen? They will now be a thing of the past. It's as if the PS5 Pro is sending you a “I don't need a loading screen” with that little smile on its face.

Remember when the Final Fantasy 7 Remake looked perfect on PS5? Now imagine playing it Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on the PS5 Pro, with graphics running at 60FPS without stuttering even once! It's not just about improving future games, Sony promises that even the games of the PS4 will have a huge improvement, with a feature called Game Boost. Forget pixelated nostalgia, your old games will now feel new again.

Ray Tracing: The New Dark Magic of Gaming

Another thing that Sony didn't skimp on was the ray tracing. If you don't know much about this stuff, here's a quick explanation: ray tracing makes it so that lighting and the shadows in games become extremely realistic. Now, in PS5 Prothe light rays are reflected and refracted in double speeds (and sometimes tripled). So when you're exploring the ruins in Hogwarts Legacyyou will really feel like you are inside the school of magic, with detailed shadows and lights crossing the windows as if they were pure magic (and, let's face it, it almost is).

AI-Driven Upscaling: PS5 Pro Smarter Than You!

Now if you thought that the ray tracing It was already cool, hold on to this: the AI-Driven Upscaling. Basically, it's the PS5 Pro throwing in your face that it's smarter than most people out there. This upscaling technology uses artificial intelligence to increase image quality, as if the console were the Michelangelo of graphics. The fancy name here is PlayStation Spectral Super Resolutionand the result is that even games that aren't natively 8K will look like they were hand-painted by a Renaissance artist. You know those blurry graphics you hated? Forget it. The PS5 Pro will let you see every detail of the scene, down to the pixel you didn't even know existed!

But What About Backward Compatibility? Relax, It's Here

One thing everyone always asks when a new console comes out is: “What about the old games, will they work?” Relax, young padawan, Sony thought of that too. Backwards compatibility with over 8,500 PS4 games is guaranteed. And the best part: many of these games will be improved with the help of PS5 Pro Game Boostthen you will play your relics like Demon's Souls and Gran Turismo 7 with graphics and performance that will make you think: “How did I manage to play this before in such a crappy way?”.

Wi-Fi 7: Faster Than the Flash

Do you think the news stopped there? Not at all! PS5 Pro will launch with support for Wi-Fi 7which basically means that you will be able to download your games at an absurd speed. Remember that time you have to take a coffee break while the download is running? Forget it! Here the deal is to download and play in record time. Have you thought about the next one? The Last of Us downloading in minutes while you're still organizing your inventory?

Oh, and of course, if you're a fan of VRR (variable refresh rate) or if you already have an 8K TV (because, well, who doesn't have one of those these days?), the PS5 Pro will ensure that your setup is fully prepared to run games in the best possible quality.

Price and Availability: Take a Deep Breath

Now, get ready: the PS5 Pro will cost a pretty penny $699.99 USD. Yes, it's expensive. But it's the kind of expensive that, if you do the math and divide it by the thousands of hours you'll spend playing, it actually comes out cheap. And of course, it already comes with 2TB SSD storage (no need to delete games to free up space) and a DualSense factory wireless. Oh, and it even comes with Astro's Playroom installed, so you can't say you bought a console without games.

Pre-sale starts on September 26th and the official launch is scheduled for November 7th 2024. Get your wallet ready and, who knows, find an excuse to justify the investment.

What's Next?

On top of all that, the PS5 Pro is fully compatible with the accessories you already have, like the PlayStation VR2, DualSense Edgeand the glorious Pulse Elite. In other words, you don't need to go out and change everything – just plug and play. And for those who already enjoy custom PS5 skins and covers, the PS5 Pro design continues in the same vein, so your custom covers will continue to work.

And if you think the news stops here, think again. The PS5 Pro still promises to receive free software updates that will improve new and old games. So if you were worried that your Horizon Forbidden West I had already reached the limit, so rest assured, the PS5 Pro will push the game even further.
