This year, you might have the opportunity to add a new PlayStation console to your wishlist.
Tl;dr
- One person has Final Fantasy XVI and VII Rebirth without the console.
- Sony could launch the PlayStation 5 Pro by the end of the year.
- Tom Henderson has revealed details about the PS5 Pro.
- The PS5 Pro offers improved performance, according to a leak.
The Gamer’s Patience Reward
Recognizing a mistake is often the first step towards correction. As a ‘veteran gamer,’ I already own Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PS5 without actually having a PlayStation 5 console. Console releases, always surrounded by anticipatory fever, only elicit indifference in me: time is my best ally.
Patience and Choice
Generally, I plan to wait for the second version of a console before getting it. So, for the PS5, my initial wait was for the PS5 Slim. However, new indications suggest another rewarding possibility: the PlayStation 5 Pro.
Promising Predictions
Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming revealed, through documents provided by Sony, that the PlayStation 5 Pro is in the works. Henderson has already proven his credibility by anticipating the reveal of “the official professional controller” for the PS5 and the modular version of the console, thus tarnishing Sony’s image shrouded in well-kept secrets.
High Performance for the PlayStation 5 Pro
This leaked document teases enticing performances for the PS5 Pro. Here’s what’s in store:
- Higher refresh rates for a smooth 4K experience
- A performance mode for stunning resolutions up to 8K
- A 45% acceleration in game rendering, for unparalleled immersion
- 2 to 3 times increased ray tracing capability compared to the non-Pro version
According to Henderson, Sony is planning a launch for the holiday season. However, this could be reconsidered if the Japanese giant feels its major exclusive titles have been missing this year. So, be patient until the arrival of this new technological gem that promises to redefine the gaming experience.
