Rumors say the PlayStation 5 Pro has been ready for launch since last year, but its release might have been delayed to line up with big game launches, according to Moore’s Law is Dead.
In the latest episode of the Broken Silicon podcast, the YouTuber talked about Sony’s upcoming mid-generation console update. He mentioned that there was a time when the console might not have been released. However, development continued, and the hardware was completed and ready for release last year.
As mentioned earlier, this delay is meant to strategically align with the launch of major titles set to release in the future, such as Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 6. This strategy appears logical as Sony has no plans to release any major titles this year and Grand Theft Auto 6 is going to be a major console seller, just like previous GTA titles. The latest entry is going to be exclusive to the latest generation of consoles, with a PC release expected a year later.
Sony hasn’t officially announced anything about the PS5 Pro yet, but leaks have given us an idea of what the upgraded console might be like. These leaks have prompted Sony to start an internal investigation to find out where they came from, suggesting that the leaks are probably accurate.
According to these reports, the PS5 Pro will have much better rendering and ray tracing performance. It will also support PlayStation’s new Super Spectral Resolution upscaling, allowing for resolutions up to 8K. Additionally, it should be able to maintain a more stable 40 FPS in high-quality graphics settings.
