Rumors of a “PS5 Pro” have been rocking the internet all year — and a new batch out of the big Gamescom trade show in Germany are adding fuel to the fire. First up, Italian journalist Lorenzo Fazio from a website called Multiplayer said on a livestream that he was told the PS5 Pro is real. Specifically, a developer told Fazio that they delayed their game because the PS5 Pro is coming soon.
Wccftech corroborated this report by saying they spoke to a different developer at Gamescom and were told the same thing: a newer, stronger PS5 is on the way.
Unfortunately, neither of these reports shed much light on when that might happen. Conventional wisdom online for months was that the PS5 Pro would launch this year, but after Sony’s summer gaming showcase came and went without a word about the new console, it felt like maybe the rumors were wrong.
However, it’s worth noting the PS4 Pro was announced in September of 2016 and released that November, so the same timeline could still theoretically hold for the PS5 Pro.
