According to reliable sources, the long-awaited PS5 Pro announcement may be a matter of days, as the PS5 Pro will be announced “very soon”

Dealabs leaker billbil-kun has a long track record of accurate information, and this user is best known for leaking upcoming PlayStation Plus monthly games

As discovered by VGC, billbil-kun claims that the heavily rumored console is indeed called the PS5 Pro (which seemed almost certain after the PS4 Pro) and that its official launch is scheduled for “early September”

Nevertheless, the leaker notes that “Sony's plans can change at any time,” so it might be best not to cancel the half-month-old schedule just yet

If the window's public information wasn't important enough, the same source could have been the first to show us the PS5 Pro's design

According to billbil-kun, the PS5 Pro follows the same design as the regular PS5 and PS5 Sim, but with a few tweaks: the Pro is white as standard, but the center of the console will have three black strips; the PS5 Sim will be white as standard, but the Pro will have three black strips in the center

Reeker claims to have access to an image of the final packaging of the console, but copyright restrictions prevent him from sharing this, so he sketches the console itself instead

In terms of size, the PS5 Pro will be thicker than the PS5 Slim, but it is unclear whether it will match the monstrous scale of the original PS5 Fans of physical media will also be disappointed as the PS5 Pro image does not show a disc drive, but as with the PS5 Slim, Sony may be planning to sell a drive that can be attached as an option

Finally, the report also suggests that the PS5 Pro will ship with a regular DualSense controller rather than the super stylish but very expensive DualSense Edge

As mentioned above, billbil you definitely have a track record, so we feel that this report may have some substance However, take all of the above with a healthy grain of salt, as even the most trusted leakers on the planet can get something wrong (often through no fault of their own, as information and plans are subject to change)

Until Sony officially comments on the PS5 Pro (and to be clear, Sony has yet to comment in any capacity), all details should be considered unverified As it stands, the very existence of this console is still up in the air Fingers crossed that the above details prove to be accurate and that the big unveiling of the PS5 Pro is just around the corner

This is not the first time we have heard unconfirmed information about the PS5 Pro One source has released a rumored spec sheet suggesting that the console could be an 8K monster We'll have to wait and see if these leaks ultimately turn out to be true, but check out our PS5 Pro hub for a summary of the latest rumors
