PlayStation 5 Pro: What to expect
The anticipated PS5 Pro is expected to be an enhancement rather than a successor to the existing PS5 console. It is likely to feature minor design changes, such as black stripes on the white flanks, while retaining a similar overall design and size to the current PS5 consoles.

In terms of performance, Sony is expected to introduce significant upgrades with a new AMD Ryzen Accelerated Processing Unit (APU). This single chip combines a central processing unit (CPU) and a graphics processing unit (GPU). The new APU is likely to enhance graphic support and ray tracing capabilities, leading to improved in-game graphics performance with better light and shadow rendering. Additionally, the PS5 Pro may support 8K resolution graphic output.
