Sony has officially announced the much-anticipated PS5 Pro. You’ll need to dig deep into your pocket for it, though: the new console has a price tag of $700 and it will arrive on November 7.
The Pro offers some notable improvements on the specs of the original PS5, which was released in 2020. Sony focused on three core upgrades: a larger GPU, advanced ray-tracing and AI-driven upscaling.
That GPU has 67 percent more compute units and 28 percent faster RAM than the standard PS5. As such, according to the console’s lead architect Mark Cerny, the new console will be able to deliver up to 45 percent faster rendering. Ray-tracing performance could be up to three times as fast as on PS5. Meanwhile, Sony’s AI-upscaling tech (i.e. its take on the likes of NVIDIA’s DLSS) is called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, or PSSR.
