Rumors have it this event will announce the PS5 Pro. I know the PS5 has been out for years now but does anyone feel like a pro version might be unnecessary? Current gen games already look great and run fine*
*When they’re actually optimized
A 9 minute presentation the day after Playstation’s 30th anniversary, I hope people keep their expectations in check.
It is unnecessary.
Honestly, if this means that the “quality” modes run at 60fps+ (and 4K but we’ll see) then I may be on board.
The 40fps middle ground right now isn’t that bad, but I’d rather it be better.
We’ll see.
PS5 came out in 2020, PS6 is expected in 2028 or ’29. We’re right at the half way point. Seems about just right really
I really don’t see the point, but I’m not against it as long as it doesn’t lower anything we’d be getting on normal ps5.
At least for the ps4 and ps4 Pro, I didn’t feel like the ps4 pro created a problem for regular ps4 games.

Lots of people feel this way. This thing is going to come in at a price around $650 or $700, sell pretty much exclusively to the people who need the latest high-end PlayStation regardless, and then free up a bit of inventory of second hand vanilla PS5s. It’s a way to justify keeping prices high, because they can’t afford to lower them.
