Expert Verified By

Only Justification For The Existence of PS5 Pro!

Story Highlight
  • PlayStation 5 Pro hasn’t met with great reception following its official announcement.
  • However, Digital Foundry tech experts believe the PlayStation 5 Pro launch will be good for everyone in the long run.
  • It will significantly benefit the PlayStation 6 backward compatibility like the last gen did for the current base model. 

After months of rumours and leaks, the PlayStation 5 Pro was finally announced recently. The console is said to be 45% faster than the base model and will be available in November for $700, making it the most expensive PlayStation console.

Ever since its announcement, fans have been furious about the upcoming console. Recent leaks have suggested that it still won’t be able to run many games at 60 FPS.

While many fans believe that upgrading is pointless, tech experts believe that the release of the PS5 Pro would greatly benefit PlayStation 6’s backward compatibility.

Why it matters: A similar has been done in the past with the launch of the PlayStation 4 Pro. So, a similar trend could be seen again.

Just recently, DF Clips released a new video from their podcast, discussing the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro.

The tech experts at the Digital Foundry have discussed how the launch of PlayStation 5 Pro is good for everyone in the long run. It has been stated that the PlayStation 6 will benefit greatly from the launch of PS5 Pro.

The current base model benefited greatly from the launch of PlayStation 4 Pro, which ran previous-gen games much better on the base model. Not only did it run them better, but it also enhanced them.

Tech experts have also stated that games that run 30 FPS on the PlayStation 5 Pro would still look better than the base model, and those games will likely be patched to 60 FPS in the next generation.

Games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone, which struggled to run smoother on PlayStation 4 Pro and had shaky experiences, offered much smoother experiences on the current-gen base model. Therefore, something similar could be done with the PlayStation 6.

While not much is known about the PlayStation 6 yet, it is likely in development. A recent report has suggested that AMD has secured a deal with Sony to design the SOC for the device. Although the console is years away, it’s likely targeting a 2028 release date.
