The news about the launch of the PlayStation 5 Pro is getting stronger after several developers openly discussed the console during the Gamescom 2024 event. Two leading technology publications, Wccftech and Multiplayer, reported that developers, including from small studios, had obtained PS5 Pro hardware specifications, signaling the launch of the console may be imminent.

According to reports, developers who attended Gamescom 2024 openly acknowledged the existence of the PS5 Pro without much push. This suggests that Sony may have distributed the PS5 Pro's kit and official specifications to many developers, even to small studios that usually just receive closer access to official launches.

Wccftech revealed that one of the developers they met said the PS5 Pro would handle Unreal Engine 5 much better than the current PS5 model. Although not much detail has been shared, a few developers' recognition of the PS5 Pro shows that Sony is working hard to launch this console soon, while ensuring third-party developers have the resources needed to optimize their games for this new model.

Referring to the launch history of the PlayStation 4 Pro, which was announced on September 7 and released on November 10, many have speculated that the PS5 Pro may be announced in early September 2024 and is ready to launch before the holiday season. However, until Sony made an official announcement, all of this was still speculation.

Rumors are circulating that the PS5 Pro will bring an increase in performance of around 45 percent compared to the standard PS5. This may include increased GPU, faster memory, and significant improvements in terms of ray tracing, a technology that allows for more realistic lighting and shadows in gaming. In addition, there is speculation about other changes that have not been revealed in detail.

Sony seems to want to bring a deeper and stronger gaming experience with the PS5 Pro, especially amid growing demand for high graphic quality games and better performance. With this significant improvement, the PS5 Pro is expected to be able to handle next-generation games more smoothly, including games built on Unreal Engine 5, which has become a new standard in the gaming industry.

PlayStation fans are certainly looking forward to Sony's official announcement regarding this PS5 Pro. If these rumors are true, we may just be a few weeks away from the launch of this highly anticipated console. Stay tuned for the latest developments regarding the PS5 Pro which is predicted to be one of the major launches in the gaming industry this year.
