Sony has unveiled the PlayStation 5 Pro, a high-performance gaming console that delivers stunning graphics and immersive gameplay.
The PS5 Pro boasts a significantly upgraded GPU with 67% more Compute Units and 28% faster memory than its predecessor, resulting in up to 45% faster rendering for smoother gameplay.
Additionally, the console introduces advanced ray tracing technology, which can generate realistic lighting effects with dynamic reflections and refractions, with processing speeds reaching double or even triple that of the standard PS5.
Other enhancements include PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, an AI-driven upscaling tech that uses machine learning to sharpen image clarity with a high level of detail. It also supports Wi-Fi 7, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology, and the capability to render games in 8K resolution.
The PS5 Pro has the same footprint as the original PS5 and is fully compatible with its accessories. It is also backward compatible with over 8,500 PS4 titles, leveraging PS5 Pro Game Boost to potentially enhance gaming performance.
Several popular titles will receive free software updates to take full advantage of the PS5 Pro. Look for the “PS5 Pro Enhanced” label on games like 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.
The PS5 Pro will launch this holiday season with a price tag of USD 699.99 (around Php 39,100). There’s no news yet of its availability in the Philippines.
