PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation Announced For September 10

Sony has announced that the PlayStation 5 lead architect Mark Cerny will host a nine-minute PlayStation 5 technical presentation on September 10. It will focus on “PS5 and innovations in gaming technology.” This likely means that the PlayStation 5 Pro will be revealed at this presentation. The stream will be broadcast in English on the PlayStation YouTube channel September 10 at 8:00am PT / 11:00am ET / 4:00pm BST. 

Following the recent leak of Sony’s highly rumored and anticipated PlayStation 5 Pro console, the publisher seemingly confirmed the leak. In the recently released image celebrating the upcoming 30th Anniversary for PlayStation, an outline of the PlayStation 5 Pro, which looks like the leaked concept image can be spotted. While hard to spot, the outline can be seen amongst other PlayStation devices.  According to prominent leaker billbil-kun, the console will have “the same white color” consistent with previous models, will be larger than the slim and will have three “black stripes” on the panels this time. Additionally, the console will reportedly not have a disc drive, at least according to the leaker’s design image, but will have the same DualSense controllers the standard PlayStation 5 has. Lastly, the report also reveals that the console will be announced “very soon” possibly in “the first half of September”.

In a recent Wccftech report, an unspecified developer told the outlet that they had received the specs for the upcoming and highly rumored PlayStation 5 Pro. According to the developer, the console will be able to run Unreal Engine 5 developed games much better and faster than the base PlayStation 5. The report states that because of this, “it is reasonable to assume an official announcement is near.”
