PS5 Pro new rumours

An episode of the Broken Silicon podcast by popular YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead revealed that a PS5 Pro devkit has already been seen by insiders. This devkit reportedly features 2TB of storage, which aligns with similar moves by Microsoft, who is also preparing to launch a 2TB version of the Xbox Series X. While it's not guaranteed that this storage capacity will make it to the final retail version, it’s a promising indication of what Sony might be planning.

Another standout feature of the PS5 Pro devkit is its cooling and power management. As per the podcast, the PS5 Pro will use the same two-prong power connector as the original PS5, suggesting that the new console won't require significantly more power. In the podcast, Moore's Law is Dead also speculated that the upcoming console could be "a very quiet and cool running machine."



The current PS5 is known for its large fan, which can get quite noisy, so any improvements in this area would likely be welcomed by users. If these rumors hold true, the PS5 Pro could offer gamers not just more storage but also a better overall gaming experience with less noise and improved cooling.

Adding to the speculation, leaker @billbil_kun also hinted on Twitter that exciting news about a new version of hardware is on the way, which many believe could be related to the PS5 Pro. Earlier, gaming industry insider Jeff Grubb mentioned that Sony might announce the PS5 Pro during a potential State of Play event, rumoured to be held by the end of September 2024.
