Whispers about the PlayStation 5 Pro dominated conversations at Gamescom 2024, with developers and journalists sharing details regarding its potential specifications and release. This article delves into the buzz surrounding the PS5 Pro, its speculated specs, and the implications for game development.
Anticipation for the PS5 Pro has been building throughout 2024, fueled by earlier leaks. Gamescom 2024 saw this speculation intensify, with developers openly discussing the upcoming console. According to Alessio Palumbo of Wccftech, some developers have even delayed game releases to coincide with the PS5 Pro's launch.
Palumbo reported a significant revelation: "A developer, who requested anonymity, spontaneously mentioned receiving the PS5 Pro's specifications and expressed confidence in Unreal Engine 5's superior performance on the new hardware compared to the standard PS5."
This corroborates a report from Italian gaming site Multiplayer, which noted a developer delaying a game launch to align with the rumored PS5 Pro release. Palumbo added, "This isn't the same developer as the one Multiplayer mentioned. The studio I spoke with is not a major player, suggesting widespread access to the PS5 Pro's specs among developers."
Adding credence to Palumbo's findings and the Gamescom 2024 developer discussions, analyst William R. Aguilar hinted on X (formerly Twitter) in July that Sony is likely to announce the PS5 Pro later this year. Aguilar speculated a September 2024 State of Play announcement, suggesting Sony needs to act quickly to avoid impacting current PS5 sales.
This aligns with the PlayStation 4 Pro's 2016 launch, announced September 7th and released November 10th. Palumbo notes that if Sony follows a similar pattern, "an official announcement seems imminent."
