Sony is expected to announce the PS5 Pro today in a strangely short livestream

We probably don’t have to wait much longer to find out all the official details about the PlayStation 5 Pro. Sony has announced a PlayStation 5 technical presentation that will stream on PlayStation’s YouTube channel on September 10 at 11:00 a.m. ET.

Everything points to this being the official reveal of the PS5 Pro. Mark Cerny, the lead architect of the PS5, will host the stream, which will focus on the “PS5 and innovations in gaming technology.” This comes just days after Sony teased a redesigned PS5 in an image that matches various PS5 Pro leaks. The company was also expected to unveil the PS5 Pro in mid-September, ahead of the holiday shopping season.

Add all that together and add the tagline “The journey continues” in a teaser video, and it’s pretty clear what’s in store. Cerny actually detailed the PS5’s specs from behind a lectern in a 2020 livestream (Sony had to back out of a planned talk at the Game Developers Conference after COVID-19 broke out).

The PS5 Pro rumor mill suggests that the mid-cycle refresh will deliver improved and consistent frame rates at 4K resolution, as well as an 8K performance mode in supported games. Game rendering is said to be 45 percent faster than on the standard PS5, while the Pro’s ray tracing capabilities are said to be two to three times faster.

Update, September 10, 2024, 9:05 a.m. ET: This story has been updated with a link to the PlayStation livestream.
