Sony may be releasing a PlayStation 5 Pro next year. That’s according to Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb on a podcast episode on his YouTube channel, where he claimed that Sony is currently working on a PlayStation 5 console upgrade that will “probably” come out in September 2024. Grubb also stated that the the console will feature “Sony’s own proprietary DLSS-like solution, where they use their own machine learning to improve images so they can run things at a really high resolution and really high frame rate.” Earlier in July, legal documents from the Microsoft FTC court case revealed that Sony will release a PlayStation 5 Slim and a PlayStation 5 Pro console “in the near future.”
Relevant transcribed Snippets of the podcast via VGC:
“That PS5 Pro leak is almost certainly real based on what I’ve heard now, and obviously I’m not the only one out there saying that, but I can throw my ‘confirm, confirm, confirm’ into the ring for everybody.
The current specs are based on a range of possibilities because they have not actually fully dialed that in.
The big thing here, like the big feature that this system will support, is Sony’s own proprietary DLSS-like solution, where they use their own machine learning to improve images so they can run things at a really high resolution and really high frame rate, and they would include their own hardware in the PS5 Pro to do this.
That’s where like the 2x hardware ray tracing acceleration comes into place, but they would be able to do even more than just better hardware ray tracing. So yeah, this thing is probably happening.”
