ThePlayStation 5is an impressive bit of kit, and I love getting comfy on one of thebest gaming chairsand playing, butSonyisn’t resting on its laurels when it comes to new hardware. Having already launched thePSVR2in 2023, and with talk of anupcoming handheld(of sorts) Sony has certainly been busy, but thePS5 Prorumours just won’t die – and we might already know when it’s coming out.

Of course, the PS5 Pro hasn’t even been confirmed to exist, but Tom Henderson ofInsider Gamingclaims with a “100% degree of certainty” that it is in development. This suped-up version of Sony’s console is supposedly separate from the rumoured ‘PS5 with a detachable disc drive’ – which Henderson claims will hit shelves this year. As for the Pro, we will have to wait longer, but apparently not too much.

A late 2024 release would mark four years since the launch of the PS5 and with thecurrent generation supposedly set to finish in 2027, that would give players at least three years of the upgraded console (barring any ‘PS6’ stock shortages). Interestingly thePS4 Prolaunched just three years after the original PS4 and was Sony’s leading machine for four years.

While many are only just getting their hands on thePlayStation5, if the 2027 deadline is to be believed, Sony does need to release the Pro version sooner rather than later. Of course, while some may be bullish about its existence, Sony doesn’t have to release a mid-generation upgrade, but it would feel like a missed opportunity.

Personally, I would welcome not having to choose between performance or graphics modes on the best PS5 Games likeSpider-Man: Miles MoralesandRatchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Playing at both a consistent 60fps and with ray-tracing hopefully will no longer be a pipedream soon.
