Sony Unveils PlayStation 5 Pro Pre-Orders

Sony has officially announced the PlayStation 5 Pro, set to launch on November 7, 2024, with pre-orders beginning on September 26, 2024. This mid-generation console features significant upgrades, including an enhanced GPU that offers 67% more compute units, advanced ray tracing capabilities, and AI-driven upscaling through PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, promising smoother gameplay and improved graphics. The PS5 Pro will be priced at $700 and comes with a 2TB SSD, effectively doubling the storage of the PS5 Slim. While it is primarily a digital-only console, an optional Blu-ray drive can be purchased for an additional cost. Retailers like Amazon and JB Hi-Fi will also participate in the pre-order process, with trade deals expected to be available. Sony's lead architect, Mark Cerny, touted the PS5 Pro as the 'most powerful console ever produced', aiming to cater to serious gamers and developers alike.
