Sony announces for tomorrow a "technical presentation" What should we discover about PS5 Pro?

There are less than 24 hours left until the PlayStation 5 Pro becomes a reality… or so everyone thinks. Sony has announced that tomorrow, Tuesday, September 10 at 5:00 p.m. Spanish peninsular time, it will offer a “technical presentation” by Mark Cerny, PS5 architect. The company has only said that the 9-minute broadcast will “focus on PS5 and the innovations in terms of technology in the world of video games.” Although Sony is reluctant to say so, it is assumed that it has summoned us to learn the specifications of PS5 Pro.

This isn’t the first time Mark Cerny has hosted a PlayStation technical presentation. He did the same for PS5 in 2020, and it was there that we learned the console’s specs, including details about the CPU, GPU, teraflops, memory, SSD… In other words, we shouldn’t expect a full-scale software demo. Cerny’s talk will likely be digestible for everyone, but technical and with the aim of highlighting all the good things that the PS5 Pro hardware can bring to games that take advantage of it. This also means that we’ll hardly know the price or release date.

This technical presentation seems to be the first course of a menu that has at least two. The second should be a State of Play. If the rumors are correct, this game-focused demonstration should take place before the end of September.

The PS5 Pro (codenamed Trinity) is expected to be unveiled after more than a year of rumours. We first heard about the model in March 2023, and we’ve since learned a few details, including that the goal is for games to reach 4K and 60 FPS with or without PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) scaling. Any game that takes advantage of the new model’s hardware in this or another way will receive the “Enhanced for PS5 Pro” seal. Once the console is unveiled, the ball will be in the hands of developers, who will have to update their games.

With the PS5 Pro, Sony is following the same roadmap as with the PlayStation 4, which also received an improved model. In the last generation, Microsoft also opted to update its hardware with a more powerful model, but this move does not seem to be in its plans for this one.
