Sony could introduce the PS5 Pro next week, specifically between On Tuesday the 10th and on Wednesday the 11th. The presentation of the console should include a complete announcement with all its technical characteristics, as well as everything related to the PSSR intelligent rescaling technology, which, as we told you then, will be one of the most important advances that this console will present.

The source of the rumor also said that Sony will be celebrating current status between September 19 and 20. This is the type of special event that the Japanese company has always used for important announcements, and in this case it would be most logical to focus on the PS5 Pro and other games that will arrive. the advantage of its greater power and new technologies.

Until now, we thought that Sony would reserve the introduction of this console for the Tokyo Game Show, which will be held at the end of September, so this would be ahead of the originally planned date. It is important to remember that it does rumor and not confirmedthat’s why we’re talking about possible deadlines, and that’s why it wasn’t possible to meet them. Not much left to clarify doubts, yes.

PS5 Pro, with or without an optical drive?

It’s one of the most important doubts we have about this particular console, along with its possible selling price. Some reputable media such as Digital Foundry believe that Sony will release only one version of this console and their experts said that it would make sense for it to arrive without optical drive because it will make it possible to significantly reduce the price.

I think the most logical thing is for Sony to repeat the PS5 Slim approach and release a PS5 Pro with a swappable optical drive. This would allow the console to be sold with or without an optical drive in a very simple way and without the need to complicate life with distribution and warehouse issues. This is a console that can easily be converted to optical or digitalSony could adjust inventory in real time depending on market needs and demand.

This approach would allow Sony to offer a digital PS5 Pro at a lower price and an optical drive model at a higher price. Those who buy a digital model and regret it They will be able to purchase an optical drive separately and without complications to convert it to a version with said unit, as is currently the case with the PS5 Slim.

As for the selling price, given the current market situation for the PS5 Slim and its recent price increase, I think the PS5 Pro will be more expensive than expected, and In the end, it will cost between 600 and 700 dollars-euros. Sony may reduce the price of the PS5 with the arrival of the mentioned console, but I am sure that the price reduction will be minimal and will not exceed 50-100 dollars-euro.
