PlayStation 5 Pro costs $700 and launches on November 7

PlayStation today revealed the latest console in its lineup, the PlayStation 5 Pro. The new console is an update on the base PS5, which has been engineered to prioritize both graphics and higher framerates, as opposed to one or the other. The PS5 Pro features several improvements, including a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing and AI-driven upscaling. The console launches on November 7 for $700 and pre-orders open on September 26.

Mark Cerny, the PS5’s lead architect, revealed the new console as well as its new features. According to Cerny, the upgraded GPU has 67% more Compute Units and 28% faster memory, enabling 45% faster rendering for gameplay. Advanced ray tracing allows for more dynamic reflection and light refraction. The AI-driven upscaling is called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution and uses machine learning to add detail and clarity.
