Sony announces PlayStation “Technical Presentation” after teasing a PS5 Pro

Sony is holding a PlayStation “Technical Presentation” tomorrow, just days after teasing a PS5 Pro console. The nine-minute stream will be hosted by Mark Cerny, the lead architect of the PS5 console. Cerny previously revealed the full PS5 specs ahead of its debut in 2020.

The stream will start at 8AM PT / 11AM ET / 4PM UK on September 10th and will be broadcast on the PlayStation YouTube channel. Sony hasn’t provided any further details about the technical presentation, but the announcement comes just after Sony teased the PS5 Pro in a 30th anniversary PlayStation image.

A montage included a PS5 design that looks identical to the PS5 Pro leak from last month. Leaked images of the PS5 Pro showed a console with three black stripes in the middle of the outer facades, unlike the existing PS5 model that has a single stripe. Sony’s teaser image included a PS5 with those same three black stripes.

We’ve known for months the PS5 Pro is real and that developers have been getting their games ready for this new console. I recently heard that developers need to make any games released on or after September 16th compatible with the PS5 Pro.

Codenamed Trinity, the PlayStation 5 Pro model will include a more powerful GPU and a slightly faster CPU mode, according to Sony documents seen by The Verge. The PS5 Pro hardware changes all point to a console that will be far more capable of hitting higher resolutions, improve frame rates in certain games, and improve support for ray tracing.
