Just a few days ago, there was a rumor that Sony might delay the launch of the PS5 Pro until 2025, but finally the same source that started the rumor has retracted it, saying that the console will most likely finally arrive in 2024. also convinced that at the end of the run will take place this yearand in this article I will explain why.

Before I get into five reasons why I believe the PS5 Pro will launch before the end of 2024, I want to remind you of some important things because they will help us have a better context of all that I will explain to you later:

• This console has been in development for a long time and according to several reliable sources is completed.
• It is confirmed, also by reliable sources, that several developers they have development kits in their hands for a while now.
• Was found links to “PS5 Pro” mode. in the latest update of No Man’s Sky.

Five reasons why I hope the PS5 Pro arrives in 2024

1.- PS5 is falling in sales and slowly losing interest

It is the best-selling console of the current generation (the Nintendo Switch has a hardware equivalent of the previous generation) and doubles the consumer sales of the Xbox series on the PS5 gradually declines and knows it needs to release a PS5 Pro.

It will soon be four years since the launch of the PS5, so it’s only logical that interest and sales of the console are on a downward trend. Sony has already experienced this situation with the PS4and their response was none other than the launch of the PS4 Pro, a move that caused some controversy at first, but which ended up being a success.

This had a double impact on the one hand attracted new users who were looking for more powerful hardware, which prevented them from migrating to PC, and on the other hand, it gave support to the PS4 due to the price drop experienced by the said console, which ended up being a more economical option. This could happen again with the PS5 Proa console that will sit in the high end and make the PS5 a cheaper option.

The PS5 Pro will breathe a breath of fresh air into the console market with new hardware and more power, though as we know the most notable thing about this new console will undoubtedly be your GPU, which will theoretically be based on the RDNA 3 architecture, although it will have exclusive RDNA 4 features to improve performance with ray tracing.

2.- Sony returns to the Tokyo Game Show

The return of the Japanese company to the Tokyo Game Show was quite a surprise. There has to be a good reason for that, no doubt about it, especially considering that Sony hasn’t been at the event for a long time. from 2019, That means he hasn’t been interested in it for five years and now suddenly wants to come back.

It makes no sense to think that Sony will return to an event of this magnitude and with such high costs to introduce new games or services they must have something big in your handsand that something could be the long-awaited PS5 Pro The Tokyo Game Show would also be a luxurious setting for the introduction of this new console, and the Japanese company is aware of this.

In the end, it can be limited to a fairly discrete presentation, with several game samples and that’s without doing an in-depth analysis of the new hardware features this console will bring, but I’m sure we’ll see that at the event. There is no reason to think otherwise, at least not now.

3.- There are several important games that must be displayed on the PS5 Pro

And big developers interested in it, something that could help Sony as well show the world the difference PS5 Pro can make in terms of power and performance compared to the base model. Keep in mind that ultimately when you announce a cross-gen refresh like this, you need to demonstrate how and why it outperforms the current model, and for that you need important games that are also properly optimized.

As I told you before, developers already had PS5 Pro optimized kits in their hands for years, so they were able to work on implementing the necessary improvements in their games to take advantage of the potential of this new console. They are readythey only need the specified console to see these changes.

From the list of games optimized for PS5 Pro, which will show the differences between it and PS5, we can highlight e.g. Death Stranding 2 and the long-awaited GTA 6. The latter could be one of the big drivers of Sony’s new console, if of course its improvements live up to expectations.

4.- It is a good time to start this console

And for various reasons. We have already seen the first that gradual loss of interest which affects PS5 sales, but there are also other very important ones such as big titles still waiting to be released and the celebration 30th anniversary of PS1 launchwhich could be used to promote the PS5 Pro launch.

The PS5 Pro will be unveiled in September, but it will launch at the end of this year, bringing it very close Christmas campaign. This is also the optimal date to maximize the sales of this new console in its first phase of launch, which is usually one of the most important when we talk about this type of system.

We must not forget that the PS5 has already entered the the second phase of its life cycle, which has been showing signs of exhaustion at the hardware level for some time, and despite everything, Sony refuses to lower its selling price. The arrival of the Pro version will bring some order to all this and should lead to a permanent decrease in the price of the standard model.

That price drop will a key that prevents the PS5 Pro from cannibalizing the PS5. Sony needs to be very careful with this issue, because if they launch their new console at too high a price, it could put it out of reach for the average consumer, and if they don’t lower the price of the PS5, they may abandon it. in a difficult position instead of being an economical and affordable alternative to the PS5 Pro.

5.- Sony is waiting to announce several important triple A games

And it is very likely that these were reserved for the introduction or launch of the PS5 Pro Among the list of unannounced games that Sony is saving to strengthen the debut of this console, there are very important names such as. The Last of Us Part III, remastered by Bloodborne detailed and new installments of franchises from major Sony studios.

These studies include Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, Sucker Punch, BluePoint, Insomniac and Bend Studios. They may also take the opportunity to introduce a brand new title to open up another franchise, but at this point the details I have are scarce so I can’t share anything more specific with you.

The Japanese company knows this the console is sold with good games, it’s a lesson he’s learned since the PS1 days, so I don’t think he’ll leave the PS5 Pro announcement unspiced with important game announcements. I imagine it will also take the opportunity to highlight the “Pro” mode enhancements and optimizations in already released major triple A games.
