Sony is already rumoured to be planning a mid-generation console upgrade, but a PS5 Pro is hardly needed when the current model still has potential.
Despite PS5 stock only recently becoming readily available following global supply shortages, a new rumour suggests that Sony is already gearing up for a mid-generation console upgrade. The thought is that this revised version will work similarly to when the PS4 Pro launched in November 16, 2016 (just three years after the original PS4 model) to give players a new way to enjoy PlayStation games through improved graphics and performance.
The rumour comes from Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, who has a reputable track record when it comes to leaks thanks to his inside connections. In this instance, his sources have reportedly told him that the console upgrade – apparently called the PS5 Pro – is in active development and could arrive on the scene as early as late 2024. He goes on to say that this new model will “phase out” the current PS5 we know in an effort to help Sony cut down on costs and tidy up production.
