After PS5 Pro rumours surfaced live online and Sony seemingly teased the consPlayStation 5 Technical Presentation hosted by Mark Cerny set to take place today. Here is all you need to know about the event.
Sony PlayStation Technical Presentation: What Does it Actually Mean?
According to the official blog post, the technical presentation will be run for 9 minutes and will focus on “PS5 and innovations in gaming technology.”
Sony seems poised to announce the PS5 Pro, as evidenced by Cerny’s appearance. The lead architect of the original console will likely highlight the new model’s enhanced power. In addition to that, the audience has found an unlisted YT video titled PS5 Pro which represents ‘The Journey Continues.’
Last week, Sony may have given fans a glimpse of the PS5 Pro design through an official image released for PlayStation’s 30th anniversary. If you look closely between the PlayStation logo and the number 30 in the image below, you’ll notice an unfamiliar PS5 design featuring three stripes on the side, which many fans have pointed out.
The image adds weight to billbil-kun’s reliable prediction of the PS5 Pro’s design, suggesting its potential launch later this year, which even cemented the delay of many games this year.
Sony PlayStation Technical Presentation: When and Where to Watch?
The presentation will take place on the PlayStation YouTube channel starting at 8:30 PM IST. It’s only a matter of time before we closely examine the long-rumoured PlayStation 5 Pro and its hardware and technical capabilities.
While the new console offers improved performance than the existing models, Sony has better come up with groundbreaking upgrades with affordable pricing at this moment. The console needs to deliver a substantial upgrade in performance, functionality, and cutting-edge technology. This could involve significant advancements in features like ray tracing, quicker loading speeds, a larger solid-state drive, support for 8K gaming, or exclusive capabilities that set it apart.
Additionally, affordability is crucial. Given the rising cost of living and the increasing number of budget-conscious gamers, launching a high-priced console without substantial improvements could deter potential buyers. If Sony fails to find the right balance between innovation and price, gamers might choose more flexible platforms like PC, which offers a wider range of games and hardware options.
