- The PS5 Pro was previously leaked with a 2024 release date.
- The same insider who revealed this information now seems unsure about the hardware launching this year.
- He suggests that the console will only be revealed in 2024 if Sony intends to launch it before 2025.
The PS5 Pro was heavily rumored for the past few months. Sony is said to be quite ambitious with this console, hoping to improve ray tracing and offer its own in-house upscaling solution.
While the new console was always expected to be announced later this year and launch in 2024, there has been a noticeable lack of updates recently. The original insider who broke the news on the PS5 Pro also seems doubtful about its 2024 launch.
In his latest tweet, the leaker suggests that the console may not launch this year.
Why it matters: 2025 is already said to be a major year for PlayStation and its first-party lineup. Adding a new console launch to this year would make it even better.
Tom Henderson was the source behind the original reports of Sony’s new console.
In a series of recent tweets, he was asked about PlayStation’s upcoming announcement in September. Replying to the tweet, Tom Henderson seemed unsure, stating that this would happen only if Sony had plans to launch the console in 2024.
If it releases this year!

What’s interesting here is the fact that Tom Henderson has been quite sure about a late 2024 launch in the past. His track record also speaks for itself, so the leaker likely had enough evidence to back these claims.
The latest reply suggests that Sony may have changed its plans. At the very least, the gaming giant may be considering a delay into 2025, potentially to ensure the PS5 Pro launches with a strong first-party lineup.
The current year has seen Sony relying on mostly third-party exclusives and smaller games. However, 2025 will mark releases like Death Stranding 2, GTA 6, and more. As such, it would be a wise move to use these releases as showcases for the PS5 Pro’s capabilities.
Previous leaks have already confirmed that the PS5 Pro is in development. Internal documents from Sony have verified this information, with multiple sources corroborating past leaks about this hardware.
PlayStation has been very quiet about its future for the PS5 so far. Perhaps the gaming giant wants a few more months of secrecy before it’s fully prepared to reveal its hand.
