Upcoming PS5 Pro Model Promises No Downgrade – Just Minor Tweaks!
Sony hints at a new PS5 Pro model, but gamers are left wondering if it will actually improve performance or just tweak the existing formula.
New PS5 Pro Model Leaked
Despite Sony remaining tight-lipped about the first rumored PS5 revision, whispers are now circulating about a second iteration—the PS5 Pro. Earlier this month, rumors suggested a PlayStation 5 Slim would soon be released, sporting less storage but retaining the same price tag as its bulkier counterpart.
Details from a Reliable Source
While Sony hasn't made any official announcements (not even during the recent State of Play), listings for the new model have popped up on select European Amazon sites. The leak comes from billbil-kun at Dealabs, a source known for its impeccable track record. They previously hinted at Alan Wake 2 being part of October’s PlayStation Plus lineup—before Sony confirmed it.
What’s Different About the New Model?
According to the leak, the new PS5 Pro model, designated as CFI-7121, is set to launch in Europe on September 30. Unfortunately, details about its availability in the Americas remain murky. The improvements, if any, are expected to be minor, with the new model maintaining the same design and a 2TB storage capacity as the current Pro model. Pricing is also consistent, pegged at €799.99 in Europe and anticipated to be £699.99 in the UK.
Performance Concerns Persist
While the PS5 Pro has been branded as a more powerful console, it hasn't been without its pitfalls. Gamers have noted that some third-party titles perform better on the standard model. Recent complaints about games like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater highlight the Pro's performance issues. Unfortunately, it seems like the new model will not rectify these shortcomings, likely just being a more cost-effective version for Sony to produce.
Capcom Weighs In
Capcom has also voiced concerns regarding the high price of the console, describing it as a 'barrier' to sales for titles like Monster Hunter Wilds. As the gaming community anxiously awaits more details, the question remains: will this new model alleviate any frustrations—or simply add to them?
