Over the past four years since the launch of PS5, we have worked tirelessly to continually evolve the console experience and deliver the great games players have come to expect from us. Today, I am incredibly proud to announce the next step in that evolution and welcome PlayStation 5 Pro to the PlayStation family – our most advanced and innovative console hardware to date.
We developed PS5 Pro with deeply engaged gamers and game creators in mind – many have asked for a console with more realistic graphics and smoother frame rates at 60FPS. We’ve achieved this on PS5 Pro with a number of key performance features.*
- GPU upgraded:With PS5 Pro, we’re upgrading to the GPU has 67% more compute units than the current PS5 console and 28% faster memory. Overall, this allows for up to 45% faster rendering for games, making for a much smoother experience.
- Advanced Ray Tracing: We’ve added even more powerful ray tracing, providing more dynamic light reflections and refractions. This allows rays to be projected at double, and sometimes triple, the speed of the current PS5 console.
- AI-driven upgrading:We also introduce PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, an AI-driven upscaling technology that uses machine learning-based technology to deliver super-sharp images by adding an incredible amount of detail.
The PS5 Pro offers gamers great graphics at high frame rates. You can hear Mark Cerny, the lead architect of the PS5 Pro, discuss the key improvements from the PS5 Pro in the video presentation below. This presentation provides an in-depth look at the key performance features that make the PS5 Pro truly special.
Other improvements include PS5 Pro Game Boost, which can be applied to over 8,500 backward compatible PS4 games that can be played on PS5 Pro. This can stabilize or improve the performance of supported PS4 and PS5 games. Enhanced image quality for PS4 games is also available to improve resolution on select PS4 games. PS5 Pro will also launch with the latest wireless technology, Wi-Fi 7, in territories that support the standard. VRR and 8K gaming are also supported.
It’s been humbling to see how game creators have embraced the latest technology from the PS5 Pro, and some games will be patched with free software updates to allow gamers to take advantage of the PS5 Pro’s features. These games can be identified by the PS5 Pro Enhanced label in their titles. Some of the games you can look forward to include blockbuster hits from PlayStation Studios and our third-party partners, such as Alan Wake 2, Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, Demon’s Souls, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Gran Turismo 7, Hogwarts Legacy, Horizon Forbidden West, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, The Crew Motorfest, The First Descendant, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, and more.
We’ve kept the look and feel of the PS5 Pro consistent across the entire PS5 lineup. You’ll find the height is the same as the original PS5 and the width is the same as the current PS5 model to accommodate the higher performance specs. Players can add an Ultra HD Blu-ray Drive or change the console case when available.
