Sony confirms September 10 event — PS5 Pro announcement expected
After weeks of speculation, Sony has officially confirmed a special event for September 10, 2024, via a teaser, which will most likely unveil the long-awaited PlayStation 5 Pro. The event, set to be hosted by Mark Cerny, PS5’s lead architect, will feature a 9-minute "Technical Presentation". The broadcast will go live at 8:00 AM PDT/11:00 AM EDT, and will be streamed on PlayStation's YouTube channel.
This announcement follows multiple leaks and reports suggesting a mid-cycle refresh for the PS5, with insiders hinting at major GPU improvements and design tweaks. Earlier rumors indicated a resemblance to the current PS5 (currently $499 on Amazon for the Slim version), with added black stripes for the Pro version, as well as a price range of $599 for the digital model and $699 for the disk drive variant. While Sony hasn’t outright confirmed the PS5 Pro reveal, all signs point towards this being the main focus of the event.
The PlayStation 5 Pro is expected to offer performance equivalent to AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture, with substantial improvements in ray tracing. Whether Sony will officially reveal the final design and launch dates for the PlayStation 5 Pro remains to be seen, but almost all signs point towards the same.
