With whispers echoing through forums and social media platforms, gamers are hungry for every scrap of information about this upgraded powerhouse.

The PS5 Pro offers 67% greater computing power than the base PS5 in terms of raw TFLOPS. According to Sony, this translates into around 45% faster rendering on average. However, as several developers recently pointed out, the console’s true ace in the hole is probably PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, the customized AI-powered upscaling developed by Sony. According to the developers of The First Descendant, it can stand up to the quality of any upscalers, even NVIDIA DLSS.
As a reminder, the PS5 Pro will officially launch in stores globally next Thursday. It will be priced at $699/£699/€799.
