Gamescom 2024 Whispers of a Late 2024 PS5 Pro Release

The gaming world is abuzz with speculation surrounding the PlayStation 5 Pro, fueled by whispers from Gamescom 2024. Developers and journalists alike are sharing details about the console's potential specifications and release timeframe. Let's delve into the latest buzz.

Gamescom 2024: PS5 Pro Dominates Conversations

Rumors of a PS5 Pro have been circulating throughout 2024, but Gamescom 2024 saw a significant escalation. Developers are openly discussing the upcoming console, with some even delaying game launches to coincide with its arrival, according to Wccftech's Alessio Palumbo.

Palumbo reports an anonymous developer confirmed receiving PS5 Pro specifications and predicting significantly improved Unreal Engine 5 performance compared to the standard PS5. This corroborates a Multiplayer.it report of a developer delaying a game release for the rumored PS5 Pro launch. Palumbo emphasizes that these are likely different developers, with one being from a smaller studio, suggesting widespread access to PS5 Pro specs.

Analyst Prediction: PS5 Pro Announcement Imminent

Adding further credence to the speculation, analyst William R. Aguilar hinted on X (formerly Twitter) in July that Sony is likely to announce the PS5 Pro later this year, potentially during a September 2024 State of Play. This timing mirrors the PlayStation 4 Pro's release strategy, which saw an announcement on September 7th and a launch on November 10th in 2016. Palumbo suggests that if Sony follows a similar pattern, a formal announcement is imminent.
