After a few quiet months, rumors about Sony’s alleged upcoming “PS5 Pro” console are flooding the internet again. This time, we may have gotten a glimpse at what the console looks like.
Leaker billbil-kun, writing for the French website Dealabs, claims to have seen the final packaging for the not-yet-released console.

According to the leaker, the PS5 Pro is slightly thicker than the current model, but otherwise retains the same basic size and shape.
The biggest visual difference lies in three black stripes that run horizontally along the device’s white exterior.
Aside from some stripes, it doesn’t seem much has changed visually. It’s still white, and sports two USB-C ports and a power button on the front. The bulk of the changes will probably happen inside, where the console is expected to be more powerful than the PS5 – but not powerful enough to be a full-on PlayStation 6.
It wasn’t clear when or even if a PS5 Pro would come out after Sony’s summer gaming showcase came and went without an announcement, but new rumors are pointing to perhaps a September announcement. The PS4 Pro was announced in September of 2016 and released in November of that year, so maybe Sony will adhere to that schedule again.
