Sony is unlikely to confirm the PS5 Pro until the second half of 2024, as the release of this news would significantly reduce sales and interest in the PlayStation 5, which has already had its sales forecasts lowered. NXGamer has received confirmation from “several anonymous sources” that the device will indeed appear.
The situation is interesting because, according to unconfirmed reports, the PS5 Pro will use NVIDIA's proprietary DLSS-style scaling technology. The Japanese company's engineers will use artificial intelligence to significantly improve the gaming experience. native resolution, Sony will be able to advertise the device as a gaming console with 4K and 120 frames per second.
NXGamer also confirmed that AI upscaling on the PS5 Pro will require developers to ” some work,” but it's expected that teams will have a much easier time delivering better smoothness – especially for games that offer a 40fps mode with VRR support. Interestingly, some PlayStation studios have already included this option in their games, and this is probably not a coincidence.
