The latest reports on a potentialPS5 Proare stating that the mid-gen refresh console is still on track for a release this year and yes, it’ll likely cost you anarmand a leg.
As reported byGameSpot, the reports come from reporter Jeff Grubb, who spoke about the PS5 Pro in a recent episode of theGame Mess Mornings podcast. During the episode, Grubb stated that: “The last I heard, this thing [PS5 Pro] is still coming out this year.”
Grubb also remarks that a State of Play presentation could be airing soon: “More recently, what I’ve heard is there is probably going to be a State of Play, not a Showcase, by the end of September,” he says.
To be clear, Grubb does not specify whether or not the PS5 Pro will make its debut at this potentialState of Playpresentation. But there is certainly a possibility of it if the PS5 Pro is set to launch in the coming months; most likely over the Holiday season. Lastly, Grubb estimates that the PS5 Pro could cost around $600, but isn’t ruling out a price as high as $700 for the upgraded hardware.
