Sony has confirmed they will release a new, more powerful PlayStation 5 console called the PS5 Pro. It will have better graphics and play games more smoothly, but it will also be more expensive at £699.99. The PS5 Pro is aimed at gamers who want the best performance.
This new console follows a trend of releasing updated versions of consoles without exclusive games. Players can choose to play games on a regular PS5 or the Pro model for better graphics and performance. Some fans are happy with the upgrade but think it should offer more for the high price.
This is Sony’s second attempt at a “pro” model after the PS4 Pro in 2016. It comes at a time when PCs are getting better graphics cards, surpassing home consoles. Even though PCs can offer better graphics, consoles like the PS5 Pro aim to balance good visuals with a reasonable price.
Rumors were circulating before the announcement, but there is no confirmation yet on whether the PS5 Pro will be backward compatible with older games.
