Sony is unveiling the PS5 Pro console today, and if the rumours are true, the cost of it has already been leaked.
Last week Sony posted an image to celebrate the PlayStation brand turning 30 years old, but some managed to spot something hidden in it: a picture that seems to show the long-rumoured PS5 Pro.
There have been rumours about the upcoming, upgraded PlayStation for a long time, but they’ve intensified lately, with one leaker drawing a picture of the console (so as to not get sued by Sony) – which looks very similar to the one Sony posted last week.
As if that wasn’t enough, the announcement of the PS5 Pro was unofficially confirmed by Sony when it posted an unlisted YouTube video named ‘PS5 Pro’, which it later hurriedly renamed to ‘PS5 Technical Presentation’. So there’s really no question what today’s event is about.
Where and when to watch PS5 Pro announcement?
The unveiling of the PlayStation 5 Pro can be watched on the PlayStation YouTube channel, via the embedded video below.
The broadcast goes live on Tuesday, September 10, at 4pm BST, 8am PT, and 11am ET.
It will be hosted by Mark Cerny, lead architect of the PlayStation 5 console, and will last for just nine minutes.
How much could the PS5 Pro cost?
The live broadcast states that Cerny will give ‘a technical presentation that focuses on PS5 and innovations in gaming technology’.
Nothing else is officially known, but last month a leaker, who correctly predicted the date of the PlayStation 5 Pro presentation, also claimed that the upcoming console will cost £589.99.
The cheaper PlayStation 5 Pro digital-only version comes out November 14, the leaker claimed, predicting that the disc version will launch on December 5, which is strange considering the latter is historically the most popular console.
Alongside the console announcement, the leaker also said that an updated DualSense controller with ‘more battery life and enhanced triggers’ will be revealed.
When could PS5 Pro pre-orders go live?
There is no information about when pre-orders will start, but with a likely release this autumn it’s fair to expect that you’ll be able to order a PS5 Pro soon after the presentation.
At that point all the rumours about the PS5 Pro release date, price, and pre-orders should be be confirmed, as well as details about the technical specifications of the console.
There seems little question that we already know what it looks like though, with the new console looking similar to the PS5 Slim, but with three lines across the middle of it.
