- A new leak suggests Sony will launch the PS5 Pro in December.
- It alludes to a $700 price point for the disc-based model, with the digital model being $100 cheaper.
- Sony is expected to announce the console next month.
More details about the PS5 Pro have recently shown up, with reliable leaker Bilbill-kun joining the discussion. He confirmed that Sony’s latest console will be announced at some point in September and shared a first look at the PS5 Pro’s design.
Following this leak, new reports have provided further information. According to another leak, Sony will launch the console in December for an unprecedented price.
Why it matters: The PS5 Pro is meant for a niche audience that cares about raw specifications more than the value proposition. PlayStation may use this fact to its advantage and price the hardware higher than expected.
The latest report suggests Sony will launch the PS5 Pro on December 6. It also indicates that the announcement will be made on September 9 through an official PlayStation blog post.
The pricing is the most interesting part of this leak. According to the leaker, the PS5 Pro Digital Edition will cost $599. This would make it $100 more expensive than the base model’s Disc Edition.
Those looking to get the most powerful PS5 with a disc drive must pay $699 if this leak is anything to go by. While this MSRP might sound unbelievable, reliable leaker Jeff Grubb alluded to a similar price earlier.
He recently pointed to a nearing State of Play and suggested that the console could cost as much as $700.
$700 does still seem reasonable.

He argued that the Xbox Series X 2TB Disc Edition costs $599, so Sony might be able to get away with a $699 price if it wanted to. Grubb also believes that the consumers that PlayStation targets with this console would be willing to pay such a high price.
With September right around the corner, fans won’t have to wait too long to finally see the console. All leaks point to an announcement or reveal later next month, so Sony should be gearing up to share official information very soon.
