There's a broad consensus in the game industry that the PlayStation 5 Pro is indeed launching in the second half of the year, making it a great piece of hardware for the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, according to a well-known analyst.
As reported by CNBC, analyst Serkan Toto spoke about the launch of the console, saying, "There seems to be a broad consensus in the game industry that Sony is indeed preparing a launch of a PS5 Pro in the second half of 2024." The console's launch will also line up perfectly with the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, which will be a "shot in the arm for the entire gaming industry."
As the PlayStation 5 Pro has yet to be officially announced, little is known about the system. While the console is rumored to sport a Zen 2 CPU that may not bring massive performance improvements, many consider it the best choice for various reasons, including keeping the console's price reasonable. Also, a stronger CPU may not be needed to squeeze more performance out of the system, as it will seemingly support AI upscaling, a first for consoles.
The PlayStation 5 Pro has yet to be revealed by Sony. We will keep you updated on the system as soon as more come in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
