The PlayStation 5 Pro is one of the most hotly anticipated devices in the gaming world. Recent leaks provide exciting insights into the possible technical improvements and features of the upcoming console. The PS5 Pro could not only set new standards in terms of performance, but also impress with improved specifications and an optimized design. Find out what the rumor mill has revealed so far and what this means for the gaming community in this article.
Summary of the most important features:
- Memory expansion: Presumably 2 TB of internal memory, twice as much as the standard PS5.
- Optimized cooling: Quieter operation thanks to improved cooling technology.
- Design change: Three characteristic stripes to visually enhance the design.
- Improved graphics performance: Expected performance increases for an even more immersive gaming experience.
Technical data and features of the PlayStation 5 Pro
Memory expansion: More space for games and data
One of the main features that will please many gamers is the PS5 Pro’s expanded internal storage. The new leaks from Moore’s Law Is Dead suggest that the console could be equipped with 2 TB of SSD storage. This is double that of the standard PS5, which only offers 1TB (including around 825GB of usable storage).
With ever larger games and additional downloads, this extra storage space is urgently needed. Gamers in particular, who want to have many AAA titles installed at the same time, will appreciate the extended memory.
According to the leakers, they already had the devkit, i.e. the developer version of the console, in their hands.
Improved cooling and quieter performance
Another focus of the new PS5 Pro is on optimizing the cooling. While the standard PS5 is sometimes known for its loud fan, the Pro version should work much more quietly and efficiently thanks to new cooling technologies.
Rumors speak of a completely revised cooling system that not only reduces the noise level, but also gets a better grip on heat development. For hardcore gamers, this means less distraction from fan noise and even more stable operation in graphically demanding games.
The new design: three stripes as a trademark
Visually, the PS5 Pro has a slightly different design, which stands out with three characteristic stripes, among other things. These design elements could be a homage to the history of PlayStation, but at the same time also represent a visual differentiation from the basic version. At least that’s what the information from Dealabs suggests.
The design looks more modern and dynamic, which will certainly appeal to many gamers. Whether the stripes also play a functional role, for example in terms of cooling, is not yet known, but the console clearly stands out from the standard version. In terms of thickness and size, the Pro is reminiscent of the PS5 Slim.
Incidentally, you can see a console without a drive. It is still unclear whether the PlayStation 5 Pro will only be available as a digital edition.
Conclusion
New design, more memory, better cooling. The leaks about the PlayStation 5 Pro are becoming more and more concrete. Some of the leakers assume that the new console will be announced in the coming weeks and will be released in 2024.
