Sony is all set to celebrate the 30th anniversary of PlayStation and while it was busy announcing the celebration through multiple social media channels, Sony confirmed the PS5 Pro in its posts via a design teaser hidden subtly amongst other PlayStation-related elements which can be seen in the poster.
Sony announced the celebration of PlayStation’s 30th anniversary via a blog post, as well as via its Instagram handle. The poster in the blog post as well as the one in the Instagram Story consists of multiple small icons of accessories and other elements that are related to a PlayStation console. Within those mockups, there’s a small mockup of a console that doesn’t resemble any of Sony’s consoles that have been launched yet.
What’s even more interesting is that the three stripes that can be seen on the mockup shared by Sony are similar to the ones seen in the alleged sketch of PS5 Pro shown by Dealabs last week, which the outlet says it prepared based on the retail packaging of the PS5 Pro that it had seen. In fact, the Instagram story by Sony also contains the text “Your first look.”
This similarity leads us to believe that Sony confirmed the PS5 Pro through a small unnoticeable teaser. The teaser image also contains other consoles from the brand, like the PS1, PS3, PS5, etc. This speculation may ultimately prove to be incorrect, but if it holds true, we could be nearing the launch of Sony’s next gaming console. Rumours suggest that any games that are launched on or after September 16 need to have support for PS5 Pro, further adding to evidence that PS5 Pro is indeed coming.
The specs of the PS5 Pro leaked nearly a year ago, suggesting it includes an 8-core custom AMD Zen 2 CPU running at around 4 GHz. The current PlayStation 5 features an RDNA 2-based GPU with 36 CUs clocked at up to 2.23GHz. The PS5 Pro, on the other hand, is rumoured to come with an upgraded RDNA 3 hybrid GPU. This GPU is expected to comprise of 60 CUs, with clock speeds ranging from 2.5GHz to 2.8GHz.
