PlayStation 5 Pro: Will 2025 Be the New Launch Year?
According to the latest industry rumors, the PlayStation 5 Pro
He won’t be appearing at the end of this year.but in 2025. While there were reports that it would be ready by Christmas, now-famous leaker Tom Henderson has indicated on his X account that this is not ultimately the case.
PlayStation was expected to announce its PlayStation 5 Pro
in September launch later in the year to take advantage of the Christmas sales surge. Now, asked again about the announcement, he corrected himself, saying: “if it comes out this year” Which already casts doubt on the original rumored launch date. Tom Henderson has been pointing to this PS5 Pro launching at the end of the year since March, but now he’s no longer sure about that.
Will the PlayStation 5 Pro Finally Arrive in 2025?
According to the latest information, PlayStation 5 Pro completed development in 2023. Sony would have delayed the launch in anticipation of new Triple A games that would fully exploit its potential. Indeed, the most anticipated game is none other than Grand Craft Auto VIBut this one, of course, won’t come. until autumn 2025. From a marketing and hype standpoint, it would make more sense to announce the PlayStation 5 Pro sometime in 2025, along with some GTA VI-related add-ons, either in the form of a bundle, a graphics-enhanced version, or additional content.
Knowing this, it is unclear whether there has been another delay in the release of the PlayStation 5 Pro, or whether PlayStation really always intended to release it in 2025, rather than late 2024. It is clear that in terms of hardware power, PlayStation 5 users have nothing to complain about. The visual leap between the PS5 and PS5 Pro won’t be big. Therefore, why might PlayStation have doubts about when to launch it. The only interest in its launch will be related to the corresponding game, developed with the new graphical ceiling that Sony will propose in mind. But if this roof is not convincing in terms of visual improvement… advertising will have catastrophic consequences.
Obviously PlayStation never confirmed anything.. Moreover, the company has not even confirmed the existence of the PlayStation 5 Pro. Microsoft is working on a new Xbox console in 2026, possibly even a PlayStation 5 Pro in 2025. it would be too lateWe are approaching such a deadline that we wouldn’t even be surprised if this really happens. we will never see ps5 pro in the future.
This is what we expect from the PS5 Pro at a spec level.
Admittedly, the PlayStation 5 isn’t going to blow you away with its performance levels. There won’t be any big changes other than your GPU. That means we could be heading into 2025 with a CPU based on AMD’s Zen2 architecture. In other words, the CPU architecture that debuted in 2019. Sure, it’s the same CPU, but running at a frequency 4.40 GHz compared to the current 3.30 GHz.
At the graphics level, we will have a graphics processor with 3840 stream processors under the RDNA3 architecture at 2.18 GHz. This implies performance. 33.5 flop. The GPU will be able to reach a turbo frequency of 2.35 GHz if temperatures allow, increasing its performance to 36 Tflops. That’s a big jump from 10.29 teraflops, but when it comes down to it, the video game industry stagnation at the visual level.
A very simple example: Compare the same game with RTX 4060 (15 teraflops) and RTX 4090 (82.58 teraflops). the game doesn’t look 6 times betterIt will look sharper, at higher resolutions you can enable ray tracing, and it will run smoother. But performance aside, there won’t be much of a change overall. So we could talk about the push to standardize 4K at 60 frames per second.
