Sony has officially revealed the PS5 Pro console, confirming its existence, as well as a host of features about the mid-gen refresh such as specs, design, and capabilities.
The console had been heavily rumored for a long time, and after a steady stream of rumors and leaks occurring in the last couple of months, it's almost a relief to finally have something official from the gaming behemoth itself.
The PS5 Pro looks to be substantially more powerful than the base model, and presenter Mark Cerny was incredibly confident about its ability to keep the journey of the PS5 generation moving forward.
We got a clear look at the design of the PS5 Pro during the presentation, and we've included some pictures of it below.
Sony has also confirmed the PS5 Pro release date and price as well as the PS5 Pro specs.
In brief, the console will launch on November 7 this year at $699.99 / £699.99 / AU$1,999.95, with pre-orders starting on September 26.
The headline specs are that the GPU is now significantly upgraded at "67% more Compute Units" and 28% faster memory. That makes for roughly 45% faster rendering on average. The SSD has also seen an upgrade, and there is now to be 2TB of internal storage. For more on the console's specs head over to our dedicated page linked above.
There's going to be plenty of information to come on the new console in the run-up to its launch and we're super excited to see what it can bring to the best PS5 games going forward.
