Här är Playstation 5 Pro

Efter en tid av rykten och viskningar är det då alltså officiellt. Sony har utannonserat Playstation 5 Pro och den kommer att släppas här i Sverige den 7:e november. De tre linjerna på vardera sida är det som särskiljer den från en annars slående lik "lillebror".

Så, vad har vi då under huven? Vi ser en GPU med 67% mer kraft, 28% snabbare minne vilket resulterar i att konsolen renderar spelen 45% snabbare än Playstation 5. Till detta kommer avancerad Ray Tracing och AI-uppskalning som Sony själva kallar för PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution. Konsolen kommer även med PS5 Pro Game Boost vilket gör att de allra flesta Playstation 5-spel (och även en del PS4-spel) får högre upplösning och bättre framerate. Glädjande nog har Sony också valt att stoppa in en 2TB stor SSD för lagring. Konsolen lanseras i en digital version där man kan köpa till en Disc-läsare vid ett senare tillfälle om så önskas.

Saxat ur Sonys pressrelease:

• Upgraded GPU: With PS5 Pro, we are upgrading to a GPU that has 67% more Compute Units than the current PS5 console and 28% faster memory. Overall, this enables up to 45% faster rendering for gameplay, making the experience much smoother.

• Advanced Ray Tracing: We've added even more powerful ray tracing that provides more dynamic reflection and refraction of light. This allows the rays to be cast at double, and at times triple, the speeds of the current PS5 console.

• AI-Driven Upscaling: We're also introducing PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, an AI-driven upscaling that uses a machine learning-based technology to provide super sharp image clarity by adding an extraordinary amount of detail.

Other enhancements include PS5 Pro Game Boost, which can apply to more than 8,500 backward compatible PS4 games playable on PS5 Pro. This feature may stabilize or improve the performance of supported PS4 and PS5 games. Enhanced Image Quality for PS4 games is also available to improve the resolution on select PS4 games. PS5 Pro will also launch with the latest wireless technology, Wi-Fi 7, in territories supporting this standard. VRR and 8K gaming are also supported.

It's humbling to see how game creators have embraced the latest technology from PS5 Pro, and several games will be patched with free software updates for gamers to take advantage of PS5 Pro's features. These games can be identified with a PS5 Pro Enhanced label within their title. Some games you can look forward to include blockbuster hits from PlayStation Studios and our third-party partners, such as 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.

We kept the look of the PS5 Pro consistent with the overall PS5 family of products. You'll notice the height is the same size as the original PS5, and the width is the same size as the current PS5 model to accommodate higher performance specs. Players can add an Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive, or swap out console covers when they become available.

Priset kommer ligga på 699 dollar / 799 euro vilket i Sverige lär hamna på någonstans mellan 9500-10500 kronor. Så det är bara börja spara inför lanseringen som sker den 7:e november.
