Have PS5 Pro specs leaked? The answer is in this console unboxing and instructions.
When Mark Cerny unveiled the PS5 Pro, the most powerful PlayStation console ever made, he gave us a look at its design, its hardware capabilities, and its promise to deliver better resolution and performance in these enhanced games, as well as visual enhancements. in over 8,500 backwards compatible PS4 games. However, the other reality is that there are a few days left before its launch, and some of its characteristics remain unknown. At least officially.
Considering that the PS5 Pro launch is scheduled for November 7, 2024The first consoles are already being distributed. Some of them are being analyzed by specialist media, others are making their way to stores, and some seem to have reached YouTube users, including the Brunno Fast channel, which, as you will see, published an unboxing as soon as it passed through its hands.
In addition to showing off the box, the console itself, and comparing its size to the system released in 2020, which resulted in smaller but not compact consoles, we have other information that we expect to be officially released, including what’s on the console Astro game room comes pre-installed. like all previous models. I confirm the lack of vertical and horizontal support in favor of simple clips. And while the external redesigns of both consoles are very similar, what’s really interesting are the internal differences.
After uploading an unboxing video, the YouTuber was asked via social media about the console’s specs and decided to answer in the simplest way possible: by showing the relevant part of the manual that came with the machine. This gave much more specific data than Sony’s, such as its dimensions, weight, or the GPU it said it would have performance of 16.7 teraflops. By comparison, the Xbox Series X offers 12 teraflops.
From here, it’s time to weigh the most important thing: is this a replica made by himself (as we have already seen on other consoles) or did he really get the PS5 Pro ahead of time? Let’s say Brunno Fast himself shared the delivery data. But for the record, outlets like Insider Gaming, which provided very specific details about the “Pro” console years before its announcement, have echoed the leaked claims. And despite this, we just have to wait for Sony’s official reaction.
What is the “Pro” upgrade on the new PlayStation?
Sony’s triple goal with this console is to offer a system that can offer a gaming experience where you don’t have to choose between performance and quality modes. The desired target (mid-2024) is stable 4K and 60FPS with an improved ray tracing system, which means improving what was already there. In fact, if the proposed data is final, we can now get a better idea:
- From the start we would have had a 10 teraflops GPU in a regular PS5 at about 16.7 teraflops PS5 Pro. And 2GB of DDR5 memory was added in the process.
- In terms of console storage, we’ve gone from the PS5’s 825GB SSD to the PS5 Pro’s 2TB SSD. In any case, it is worth remembering that both storages are expandable.
- On the other hand, power consumption varies from a maximum power of 350W to a maximum power of 390W. You may want to take this into account before turning it off or putting it into rest mode.
- Finally, we come across elements such as it being the lightest console yet (although a reader is not included and must be purchased separately), adding WiFi 7 support, and replacing one from USB-C to USB. -A.
There will be a jump in quality in games, but: How far will 799.99 euros go? How much does PS5 Pro cost? If we start with the official specs and add the specs from the guide shown, the triple comparison would look like this.

Last but not least, the DualSense controller that comes with the PS5 Pro (unless something new is discovered) will be exactly the same as in all previous models. Same design. Same technology.
In any case, all unresolved doubts regarding the PS5 Pro and the technical tests of its games will be resolved in a matter of days: the most powerful PlayStation will hit the shelves on Thursday, November 7, and if you also want to use game discs that you already have, you It will be interesting to know that external Blu-ray readers must be purchased separately.
The PS5 Pro review aims to offer the best experience from games like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Gran Turismo 7 or the recently released Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The question is whether this is a console made for those who already have a PS5, or for those who haven’t thought about it until now. In any case, very soon we will get the answer to this and other questions.
