Westa recently In other words, all has been a bit quiet on the PS5 Pro front At the beginning of the year, new rumors about yet-to-be-announced upgrades for the PlayStation 5 were flying around every day, but those rumors have certainly calmed down a bit Until now

According to Insider Gaming source Tom Henderson, Sony is still working on the PS5 Pro, and the journalist reports that the console is expected to be released by the end of the year

Henderson cites a document he was allegedly shown last year that stated the PS5 Pro would be released in late November, and his latest article contains information that, if accurate, would strengthen rumors that PlayStation fans could purchase the machine by the end of 2024

In order for developers to release a PS5 Pro version of their game this year, Henderson claims they must receive Platform Certification & Operations approval by July 30 He also stated that studios have had access to PS5 Pro development kits since spring of this year

and that the PS5 Pro is now available in the US and Europe

In addition, Henderson stated that PS5 games released after September 15 must support PS5 Pro features The journalist did not say that the documentation he said he has seen supports that the Pro will be released on September 16

Henderson is willing to speculate when Sony will finally announce the PS5 Pro However, this gaming journalist believes that an ultra-high-performance PlayStation may be unveiled at this year's Tokyo Game Show (TGS 2024)

The video game event, which runs from September 26-29 at Makuhari Messe, has a long history; if the PS5 Pro launches this year, September would be the latest that Sony would announce the system

This TGS speculation is a bit more plausible because there is a precedent for the Japanese giant to announce consoles in the fall Going back a generation of consoles, Sony announced the PS4 Pro on September 7, 2016, and released it in the US on November 10 of the same year

This will be the first time Sony has attended TGS in half a century However, if Sony chooses not to announce its next console at the Tokyo event, I would not be shocked if the company announces the PS5 Pro through one of its State of Play showcases
