Buying myPlayStation 5, an upgrade on myPlayStation 4, was one of the best consumer decisions I’ve made in a while – even if findingPS5 restockswas a long and arduous process.
Everything about the PS5 has been upgraded, making for a more powerful, improved console that easily rivals theXbox Series Xand high-end PC gaming rigs.
ButSonycan’t rest on its laurels and that most likely means introducing aPlayStation5 Pro console, similar to thePlayStation 4 Probefore it, with expanded graphics and processing performance over the next few years.
Right now, of course, Sony isn’t saying anything official about a PS5 Pro. This makes perfect sense as it was only up till very recently that PS5 consoles could actually be bought easily due to stock issues.

However, all that said, this is the first time we’ve had some really rather specific specs dropped for a PS5 Pro console, as well as a release date window. And, what’s more, it comes after a few months of information leaking out about the graphics tech that the presentation lists.
I’ll dig a little more into what we know so far.
Next-gen gaming
According to the TCL presentation, Sony could be planning on seriously upgrading the PS5’s abilities – which is saying something, given that the PS5 already seriously upgrades the PS4 and delivers 10.3 teraflops of gaming power.
Using a similar GPU to AMD’s RX7700XT, which is based on the next-gen Navi 33 RDNA 3 6nm architecture, the PS5 Pro could according to TCL “render” games at 2160p, clocking in between 60fps and 120fps, with a 4K to 8K “output”.
Now, the PS5 is based on AMD’s RDNA 2 7nm architecture, so even before you get to the real numbers a PS5 Pro equipped with an RDNA 3 GPU on papershouldbe a significant power upgrade, translating to higher rendered graphics, output graphics (with upscaling applied), and frame rates.
TCL doesn’t dig into speculating on how the Navi 33 GPU would be equipped, but a bump in compute units, clock speeds and and GDDR6 memory would be almost certain.
What’s most interesting about TCL’s “New PS5 Pro” specs in that it seems to believe the console will actually be able to hit an 8K output resolution, which famously is advertised on the PS5 box but, in practice, is basically never used. Only a smattering of very basic PS5 games can run at 8K resolution, with 99% of games unable to be output at that resolution. The PS5doeshave the HDMI 2.1 port to technically support 8K but the truth is that gamers are basically not going to see that resolution from the console in almost all games.
Indeed, the PS5 for all its power, so far does have many games that run consistently locked at a 4K native output, let alone 8K, with AAA games like Horizon Forbidden West only offering 4K at 30fps, with 60fps only delivered if the resolution is dropped to under 4K.
In some ways, I’m not too surprised that Sony is looking to push the envelope even further: customers demand upgrades, especially when parting with lots of cash, and right nowMicrosoftand its Xbox Series X technically holds the most powerful gaming console crown. As a PS5 gamer myself I’m also unashamedly excited to hear about an even more powerful PlayStation 5.
Whether or not TCL’s predictions are accurate we’ll just have to wait and see, but I’m going to struggle to forget I’ve seen this now as itfeelsright. And, if it was right, wouldn’t that just be super exciting.
