PS5 Pro Seemingly Teased in New 30th Anniversary Artwork

Nah. It's a pair of Adidas trainers in a box.

Maybe PS5 Pro is releasing in December then? December 6th would be the closest Friday to the 30th anniversary.

I won't buy it if it doesn't have a disc drive, nevermind that it's the most unnecessary console upgrade ever.

There is no PS5 fat on the logo, just a slim. So might be that the leaker saw the logo and thought this would be the pro?

30 years of active life at the top of the tree - what an incredible achievement that is. Brands like Atari and SEGA only graced those hallowed halls for a relatively short time and we all know the direction that Microsoft is going with the XBox.

Bet Nintendo wishes that they bought it now lol.

Would need to show some games to make it seem like a worthwhile purchase.

@TomasVrboda it'll probably be separate like the PS5 Slim digital edition. And you'll have to buy the drive separately and add it on.

Nah, it's just Wolverine slicing a PS5

@Ashina Wolverine State of Play confirmed!

Just get it announced Sony now Astro Bot is out so I can preorder.

@TomasVrboda no excuses now there’s a detachable disc drive who knows it might be bundled in always something to moan about

@TomasVrboda i hope it’s only 256 colour graphics at 320p. Sod all this future rubbish.

Welp, guess i'll look around and see what I can sell in order to pay for a PS5 pro. I can't sell my games because i'm a collector now. I could sell my body once or twice and then sell my PS5 to make up the difference. We'll see.

Wonderful, can't wait to upgrade!

Also crazy to think its been 30 years of playstation, been there since the beginning and its been a great ride!

Why isn't it 5 stripes?

I think even numbers of things look weird together - apparently it's bad feng shue - and it is the PS*5* after all...

I always wanted to be a professional Playstation player. If I buy this who's cutting my cheque?

Wasn't that the exact description of the PS5 pro that leaked? The journalists wrote about how it had an adidas--esque streak...

@Nexozi how comes you don’t say the same thing when Xbox fails to show any new games. Don’t worry Sony has games to impress this gen just because it’s slow doesn’t mean they don’t have any

Wouldn't it be cool if they announced the PS5 Pro because you find it at the end of Astro Bot as one of those unlockable 3D models of the console?

@LifeGirl Why would Nintendo wish they brought Playstation when they're doing better than Playstation?

Definitely buying it day one, love my ps4 pro so it's a must for me.

@TomasVrboda ps5 is now approaching 4 years old...ps5 pro is Sony's opportunity to cash in on rich gamers believe it or not there are a few, who want a premium gaming experience Infront of the TV on the couch when it comes to gta6 which is probably going to struggle getting a higher resolution than 1080p at 60fps

@zhoont think all you 4 stripe Adidas owners have been getting your trainers of temu....

@riceNpea your comment wins 🤣

@Deljo 4 stripes of hole, but 3 stripes of plastic 🫨 tell me your mind isn't blown when you look again 😛

I applaud the joke's sentiment though, Temu is a pile of sh*te 😁

@Moj500 What is the point of a pro model in this generation? What leap has been made recently in TV technology that mimics that of 4k? Which was the reason for the PS4 Pro model releasing. Considering how hampered the start of this generation was due to the pandemic there hasn't been that many PS5 exclusives. If u are wanting people to spend 6 or 7 hundred on a mid gen refresh there needs to be a reason for it both short term and long term. That's the problem with Sony. What's Sony's next game after Astro Bot? The only game that springs to mind is that fairgames one. They're obviously working on the GoW spin off, GoT 2 and Wolverine. Though they haven't been confirmed. Can't really talk much on the Xbox side of things. I literally only turned my series X back on again this year after they announced that Blops 6 was going to be free to GPU subs. Nice £70 a year saving there. Since then I've been building my MS reward points and stacking up on free GPU.

@MikeOrator Partially true. However the Switch's portability and flexibility of being able to be docked to the TV is more the appeal of it. Yes Nintendo's own 1st party IP is also largely responsible, however don't think for a second that if the Switch was more of a traditional console it would've been crushed by the PS4/PS5 and still outsold by Xbox. IF let's say the Switch 2 were to go back to being a traditional, non-portable console, it would get destroyed by PS5.

Honestly?
A PS5 Pro just feels like over-kill in my opinion.
I'm satisfied with the base PS5 and see no reason why I would waste money on upgrading to a more powerful version while mine still works as intended.

Not buying unless is handles 3000fps

@Ravix holy sh1t, I truly didn't see that 🤣 I'll get back in my box

@Nexozi come on really have you not seen their recent console lines ups when have they failed. Uncharted, last of us, kill zone Spider-Man just to name a few. Of course they will give you free BLOPS 6 only to make the money back from their hundreds of dlc that they will be releasing

@Moj500 I'm not sure what point ur making here. It's been a poor generation. There's no getting away from it. I'm saying that currently there is no reason that I know of for a PS5 Pro. It could be helped if we knew what Sony was working on. Would love them to bring back a lot of the franchises that they've ended or just left.

@Nexozi Faster frame rates in quality mode, even faster load times, better ray-tracing support, better draw distance, brute forcing some of these aspects for games that don't receive specific updates. All of these things could be improved on with a pro model. You may not need or want these things but some people do.

Sell me one already!!!

Honestly couldn’t care less, which is shocking to see myself say. I feel like Sony is losing it to Nintendo and the rise of handheld consoles with Steam. I’ve been with Sony since the beginning and I can’t even describe how underwhelming they’ve been lately.

@riceNpea Nah its The White Stripes reforming.

@Tyaku Handheld PC market isnt as big as people think.

PS - Adidas is predominently 3 white stripes so....

Well I'll be a monkey's uncles it was true

@rick1987 GTA6 wouldn’t have to struggle if rockstar reduced the graphical fidelity. Assuming there is an issue. All games that struggle are on developers not reducing their vision for any said hardware.

@kcarnes9051 I can see them really only being minimal improvements though. It's not going to be a massive leap forward in any 1 of those areas. I'll only replace my PS5 with the PS5 Pro if it breaks and I need to replace it again. If it drops the price of the standard PS5 then could see a lot of people that are still on PS4 making the switch.

@Nexozi Don’t replace your PS5 then. I’ve simply listed the likely improvements and that some people want these improvements. Going from 30 fps to 60 fps with 4K via PSSR and raytracing is significant enough for some folks. That’s why the PS5 will exist. For those players that want those things. Not you. And that’s fine.

@kcarnes9051 4k 60fps with raytracing... Can't wait

@kcarnes9051 I won't be, as I said there's no games coming that we know of that make it a must buy. I'm not going to replay games just for the slight increases in those areas.

Announced the dang thing so I can pre-order it.

@Nexozi No, there's no game that YOU know of that will make it worth it for YOU. You're speaking for other people.

@kcarnes9051 Do YOU know of a game? Hit me up with a Sony game coming out next year that warrents a PS5 Pro? I'm not speaking for anyone, I said in my original post that games are needed to make it worth buying. Nobody has been able to say any games because we don't know what is coming out from Sony at all next year. Maybe this will change and Sony will put on an amazing showcase, with must buy games and the improvements to the system will be more than minimal.

@Nexozi I want it for any game Sony puts out and for all past games Sony has put out and for any past or future game put out from 3rd parties for the best performance possible within the Playstation ecosystem. Other people want it for the same reason. I don't need to tell you any specific game. You keep asking for reasons. The reason have been given. If you don't like those reasons then the system isn't for you. You don't need to be convinced, and you don't need to convince other people that there is no reason for the PS5 Pro. And you certainly shouldn't be speaking for other people when saying, "I said there's no games coming that WE know of that make it a must buy". You are not WE.

@kcarnes9051 So, u say you don't need to be able to give an example of a game. Then go on to quote me saying that there are no upcoming games from Sony that WE know about that make a new console a must buy. Is somehow stating that nobody should buy it? Or somehow offensive to you in particular and you need to go on for the people that do want it. So to be against that statement you must know of a game that makes it a must buy. As I wasn't talking about replaying old games you've already played because you can have a few extra frames. Unfortunately it's just fact that WE don't know of any games coming out because Sony haven't shown us anything. People can buy it or don't buy it, I honestly don't care. Only Sony cares. As I said if my 2nd PS5 dies I'll probably replace it with a pro. Depends on what it offers over the current PS5.

Edit: FYI 3rd party games only need to use 1 feature to qualify for the "enhanced for PS5 Pro" label.

@Nexozi We're getting tangled in the weeds here in rhetoric so let me back up and retry.

You said in a different comment: "I'm saying that currently there is no reason that I know of for a PS5 Pro."

Yes, there are reasons, which I listed. You know these reasons, and you must know that other people want these reasons. You just don't care about them enough to warrant buying one yourself. But those reasons do in fact exist in this reality.

Do you understand how your "We" statement is an extension of an attitude that you're framing your opinion as determining whether a PS5 Pro should exist?

Because limiting the reasons for buying a Pro to needing new Sony games is a false premise.

@kcarnes9051 So now you're just going to ignore my last response and pick another different statement and want me to discuss it as well. No, I'm not going to expand on it further. Because when would it end? Would I have to agree to ur position that the PS5 Pro is a must by to stop u responding? I have already covered that statement in other posts. So as you like going through my posts on this article you have your answer already.

I’ve never attempted to convince you that a PS5 Pro is a must buy so there was never a suggestion that I’d want you to agree to that, lol.

There would be no condition under which a PS5 Pro would ever be a must buy because it’s not a necessity. It is a want. So that is also a false premise.

I didn’t ignore your previous post. I incorporated another quote by you to clarify the point I was trying to make. You’ve made statements that amount to saying or imply that there is no reason to buy the PS5 Pro and/or there’s no reason for it to exist. You dragged everyone else into your opinion by saying we don’t know of any new Sony games coming therefore there’s no reason to get the Pro. You’re using “We” to bolster your opinion. But it’s based on a false premise that new Sony games are the reason to buy a PS5. Third party games, 2nd party games, exclusives, and old games will all benefit to certain degrees. So, no, there is no obligation to list new Sony games to justify the existence of a Pro model.

There are indeed reasons to buy a PS5 Pro, as I’ve stated. You just personally do not value those reasons.

Let me put this to you another way. Just because you personally don’t want something does that mean it shouldn’t exist? For example, if you don’t like celery and don’t value its attributes, should nobody buy celery and should celery not be offered in stores despite other people liking celery?

Is there no reason for celery?

Is there no reason for a PS5 Pro?

Yes, there are reasons. You just don’t value those reasons.
