Following the launch of PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, the gaming market has seen a new trend spread, linked to “mid-gen” upgrades of home consoles. The same will happen with PlayStation 5?
Right now, it’s hard to say: procurement difficulties have slowed down the production of hardware, which still today cannot remain permanently on the shelves of physical and digital stores. And if it is true that several insiders report a PS5 Pro arriving between 2023 and 2024, it is equally appropriate to remember that Sony he did not offer any confirmation to that effect.
However, the climate of uncertainty has not prevented various analysts from trying to imagine the possible characteristics of one PlayStation 5 Pro. In particular, there are those who have turned the spotlight on a potential adoption by Sony of a new generation of SSDs. PS5, as known, mounts 4.0 generation NVMe SSDbut starting next year it will begin to spread generation 5.0 of the components.
The latter promises even more ambitious performance than that of current SSDs, which yet already allow substantially instantaneous loading times for many PS5 titles. In the face of 8.000 MB/s Proposed by the 4.0 generation, the 5.0 family of NVMe SSDs aims to achieve i 13.000 MB/s, with a speed increase of as much as 60%. Precisely these values are prompting several observers to fantasize about a possible PS5 Pro equipped with the new components.
