PS5 Pro will feel 100% more powerful than PS5

During the latest episode of the Moore's Law is Dead Broken Silicon podcast, Alderon Games founder Matthew Cassells discussed the yet-to-be-revealed mid-generation refresh system, and how its power and the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler will improve games. Talking specifically about the studio's games, the console could allow them to activate ray tracing if the game already manages to run at 60 FPS on the base model without ray tracing.

Regarding resolution, the console's additional power will allow games to be a little less blurry than on the base model, but it won't solve the issue entirely, and upscaling will continue to play a big role in the grand scheme of things, as game engines like the Unreal Engine 5 aren't getting any faster and will continue to need upscaling.

PSSR, however, will make the PlayStation 5 Pro actually feel like 100% more powerful than the base models to developer, split between 50% of actual improvements and the other 50% brought by upscaling.

It’s time for a PS5 Price Cut

PlayStation 5 sales are down compared to this time last year but the console has still reached 61.7 million units sold overall since its launch in 2020.

Sony's latest financial results revealed a decline year over year from 3.3 million units sold in the first quarter of the 2024 financial year to 2.4 million units sold in the first quarter of the 2025 financial year, meaning from April to June 2024.

The decline was somewhat expected, however, as Sony lowered its overall PS5 sales target for this financial year to 18 million units from the 21 million units it targeted last year.

This itself was down from an initial target of 25 million units sold, but Sony ultimately failed to accomplish either as it ended the year on 20.8 million. This was still a PS5 sales record though.

PS5 is 7% ahead of PS4

One of Sony’s Best Studios Just Shut Down

Ready at Dawn, a venerable game studio that once worked on God War and Daxter among other projects, is closing its doors. Android Central reports that Meta is shuttering the studio effective immediately, with employees being encouraged to apply for other positions within Oculus Studios.

The closure follows Meta's decision to discontinue Echo VR in 2023, which coincided with major layoffs impacting a third of the studio. Oculus Studios had previously acquired Ready at Dawn, which had found success with the Lone Echo series, to develop VR games for its platforms.

All I want is the PS5 pro to run GT7 at 4k 120 . Hopefully it’s as powerful as everyone says it is

[Modernperformance]

Can’t wait to go from my PS4 Pro to the PS5 Pro!!!

[madmaxpane]

just hope we don't get the same situation as the PS5 was with scalpers buying all the consoles and making impossible to get hold of one for another year again

[mash]

It may double my electric bill, but it’s not going to double the computational power of the PS5

[voobii]

They aren’t gonna drop prices in this economy

[luciferslettuce]

Black Myth Wukong is a must purchase game for the ps5, not much longer ladies and gentlemen!

[mrb]

HI If the PS5 Pro is out for the fall of this Year, It will Keep my room even warmer🤣

[Greddy]

I got a PC for now but can't rid of my Sony PS5, still luv it, however not gonna upgrade to the PRO it's not enough for me to be like I need this, gonna wait for the PS6. Not like they're gonna boost games to 200fps any time soon

[gwailo]

Perhaps they will come out with a controller that doesn't screw up after 3 months. THAT would be something.

[RAD]

Buying a 2nd system is a factor too…. I’ve been holding out for a price drop before I get a 2nd PS5

[erockcardona]

I’ll definitely camp out at a store to get my hands on ps5 pro game stop let’s go have to watch out for scalpers

[allie]

I never understood why people upgrade the same generation console, just wait till the new generation comes out… but it’s your money, spend it how you want to

Since some of y’all are taking this WAY TOO SERIOUSLY…. It’s unnecessary to “upgrade” every single time a new edition of the same generation comes out

[itsagido]

I just got my PS5 in October since i couldn't get one during the pandemic.
And to be honest, there's not that many PS5 games that aren't just straight up remasters.
And the backwards compatibility is so terrible.
But yet sony is focusing on a console upgrade when many people like myself have barely gotten their own ps5.

[frankallen]

Not only do i have a PC but i built it during covid so it cost me 6 grand before I added a 4090. And i put about an hour in it. Because I refuse to waste my data cap on games or streaming anything. I will get a pro because I buy their new consoles. Boredom is not a friend to my wallet

[johnniewalker]

Yo Jimmy - Is it true that the PS5 Pro will have a pizza warmer ???

[UnitedWeStandFreedom]

I personally can't wait for the pro !

[madmaxpane]

starting to get bored and fed up with Sony just release the PS5 pro details and get over it

[dcaseng]

I'm not falling for the performance marketing again.
More power doesn't mean we will get better gaming experiences. Until game developers actually focus on delivering better quality games, the extra power won't mean anything.
They're still developing games that will run on older consoles, and their biggest focus is on microtransactions.

[iAowe]

Am I the only one who didn’t have a clue about the pro coming out until today? For me there are millions upon millions of games on ps5 and to me, in my eyes, they’re still releasing games that can be played on ps5.

I honestly didn’t know there was a ps4 pro.

[mccubbing]

Too many people believe the PS5 hasn’t been tapped yet, it has. It’s only 10 teraflops compute power good enough for 1080-1440p without upscaling. The PS5 pro at 33 teraflops will even be more of a 1440p machine but with more visual candy on.

There is no hidden untapped power in the ps5 it’s just not that powerful. It’s a fantastic machine for the price.
