Sony is expected to launch a souped up version of the PlayStation 5 later this year, analysts have suggested.
A new CNBC report notes that there was now “broad concensus in the game industry that Sony is indeed preparing a launch of a PS5 Pro in the second half of 2024,” quoting Tokyo-based games analyst Serkan Toto.
However, the report cautions that Sony is unlikely to see a large uptick in year-on-year sales as a result of the Pro’s launch, and is also unlikely to cut the cost of the base PS5 model as a result. (Sony, unsurprsingly, has not commented on CNBC’s report.)
