- New reports from Gamescom 2024 suggest that developers are already anticipating the PS5 Pro.
- They have information on the specifications and are hoping to launch their games close to this console’s release.
- They also believe Unreal Engine 5 will run much better on the new hardware.
The PS5 Pro has yet to be announced, but it could appear during the next major PlayStation event. The existence of this console has technically been confirmed, as various leakers have already revealed so much information about it.
The console is said to be up to two times faster than the normal PS5 due to the PSSR upscaling, so it might be a worthy upgrade. A new report has also revealed that PS5 Pro will be able to handle Unreal Engine 5 much better than the base hardware.
Why it matters: Unreal Engine 5 is a tricky platform for making games, so it can cause many issues, such as stuttering during gameplay. It also requires more powerful hardware than the current consoles can deliver.
This report comes directly from Wccftech, as a member of this media outlet was present during Gamescom 2024. The outlet has confirmed that developers are delaying their games in anticipation of the new console.
Developers also know the specifications already, and they seem to have made interesting comments in relation to Unreal Engine 5. It seems one particular developer was confident that the PS5 Pro would be a much better fit for this engine.
This is exciting since recent releases like Black Myth: Wukong aren’t performing the best on PS5. Sony is said to offer the same CPU but a much stronger GPU with this console. Therefore, fans should expect better results.
All in all, it seems the PS5 Pro is an open secret at this point. Everyone is just waiting on an official announcement from Sony. Similar reports came from another outlet yesterday, but Wccftech states that their sources were different.
The console is still expected to launch before the end of 2024. While there was speculation about a potential delay to next year, leakers and developers remain confident that this will not come to fruition.
Sony seems to be gearing up for a massive reveal and a release shortly after that. With the potential for more advanced visuals, better performance, and exclusive features on PlayStation, everyone is excited to see how this release turns out.
