Sony is fighting leaks about the PS5 Pro, but things aren’t going well. New details have emerged about how the new console will benefit gaming – PlayStation 5

It’s obvious that Sony hides it and keeps it secretbut in this industry it is very difficult for consoles like PS5 Pro remain anonymous until the day of their official announcement. Yesterday we told you that the PS5 Pro is no secret and developers are already preparing for the new hardware that will come from PlayStation. However, a few hours ago they published new details about how these improvements will be applied in games.

Before we dive into the latest information about the PS5 Pro, we must report that Sony has removed the video that revealed the console’s specs. This is the content YouTube which has been owned by the content creator “Moore’s Law is Dead” since last month. Media outlets like IGN, The Verge, and Insider Gaming have subsequently confirmed the YouTuber’s post, but the last we know is that the video was removed because of “copyright claim from Sony Interactive Entertainment“as he himself teaches Tom Warren on his X/Twitter account.

Other than copyright, the specific reason for the removal of the “Moore’s Law is Dead” video is unknown, but all indications are that Sony trying to protect new leaks at all costs, as they say at VGC. The content creator himself has not yet commented on this. On the other hand, it’s never too late to remember the most important features of the PS5 Pro, whose processor will be very similar to the standard PlayStation 5, we will see an improvement 10% at 3.85 GHz.

The GPU will go into 33.5 teraflops for PS5 Pro, and the 2020 console runs at 10.28 teraflops. This does not mean that it will be three times more powerful, since we are talking about different architectures. For this reason the rendering will be approximately 45% faster. We also talked about memory, which developers will now be able to use. another 1.2 GB additionalwhich will help many companies, despite the fact that many of them believe that the launch of the PS5 Pro will be a waste of time because “it is unlikely to bring any benefits.”

Details about the new PS5 Pro

While Sony is fighting for avoid PS5 Pro leaks, a few hours ago Tom Warren published a new report with more details about this console. A few weeks ago we talked to you about the term “PS5 Pro Enhanced” which you often hear about because it label which will receive those games that will theoretically be upgraded with 4K, 60 FPS or ray tracing effects. Well, new information from The Verge journalist goes exactly in this direction, about how new and current games to take advantage of the PS5 Pro.

As a main novelty, it is added that Sony engineers are working on ultra acceleration mode for slightly older games that will improve those games on PS5 Pro. Various sources tell The Verge that Sony wants the developers to make such a version. PlayStation 5 Pro Exclusive Mode combine the above, PSSR scaled to 4K, 60 fps and ray tracing. However, the label we pointed out earlier will also apply to those games that cannot reach 60fps.

Apparently, PlayStation will agree to the company increase resolution. For example, if a game runs at 1080p or 1440p on PS5, it might run at 2160p or lower on the Pro. This (without the mandatory FPS increase) would already be enough to earn the “Enhanced for PS5 Pro” label, but the same can be said for ray tracing or frame increases. any of these improvements It is already implied that the game will be updated and will receive the same period that will be used on the PS5 Pro. That is, Sony gives. complete freedom for the developer improve the game the way you want and get that rating.

What’s not relevant to getting this shortcut is that the game continues to use variable resolution. Another interesting detail is that the PS5 Pro will have an “ultra boost” mode, which will be noticeable on TVs that are compatible with VRR modes. This way they could run at higher frame rates and variable resolution games at higher frame rates. An important aspect that PlayStation hopes to standardize is that FPS aims to be more stable on PS5 Pro in those games that have fluctuations on a standard console.

Apparently the fact is that many games get a patch from the developer to access ultra-accelerated improvements, otherwise everything we tell you will not be reflected. It is important that companies use the SDK (Development kit software) to get the most out of your PS5 Pro. This way, they’ll be able to access the extra 1.2GB of storage that the PS5 Pro offers compared to what’s on the base console.

Why is the “Enhanced for PS5 Pro” label important?

This is something very similar to what we saw in 2016 with the PS4 Pro, but in this case it seems that developers will be able to adapt to what they want with more freedom. If you are interested Why the “Enhanced for PS5 Pro” label is so important, the short answer is: “Marketing.” The term will appear both on the PlayStation Store and on the covers of physical games in stores. While it may not seem like it, it could be an important differentiating element for those players who have a PS5 Pro and want to enjoy improved experience on your console. This leads to increased game sales, but it remains to be seen how Sony will announce it. This console is expected to be announced in late summer, around September 2024. Its launch will take place in November this year.
