Hello and welcome to our live coverage of today’s PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation, otherwise known as the likely reveal of the PS5 Pro console.
Wherever you are in the world, we’re only a matter of a few hours away from the presentation with PS5 lead architect Mark Cerny, where we’ll likely see a shiny new hardware member of the PlayStation family revealed at 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm BST.
I’m here to provide a rundown of what we can expect, what we’re hoping for, all the best rumors and details that have surfaced so far, and more. Let’s get into it!
We’ve been following news and rumors of the PS5 Pro for months and months now, both as gaming tech journalists and editors, but also just as fans – there’s nothing quite like a new console. And now we’re only 90 minutes away from the potential announcement of a brand-new one!
Given the PS4 Pro’s very existence, but also its success as a mid-generation upgrade, almost as soon as we were out of the woods of the PS5’s launch, murmurings of mid-gen ‘Pro’ console started to bubble up in the fanbase and industry.
However, it’s mainly been in the past year or so that the rumors and leaks started ramping up; here’s a quick look at how we got to where we are today.
