Sony is rumored to be planning the release of an upgraded version of the popular PlayStation 5 later this year, possibly before the holiday season. The speculated PS5 Pro could potentially be the best console to experience the highly anticipated game, GTA 6, set to launch in early 2025.
Unlike many recent game releases, GTA 6 is not planned for a simultaneous launch on PC and consoles, which could give Sony an advantage in the gaming market. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has already dismissed the idea of a mid-cycle refresh for Xbox consoles, potentially giving Sony an edge in the competition.
Rumored specs for the PS5 Pro include an impressive 67 teraflops of compute power, putting it in line with some of the top gaming PCs on the market. With Sony’s estimated 2:1 market position over Xbox, the PS5 Pro could prove to be a compelling option for gamers looking to experience GTA 6 on a powerful console.
The success of the PS5 Pro would ultimately depend on a strong sales pitch, and the ability to play GTA 6 could be the justification players need to make the upgrade. As details continue to emerge about the potential release of the PS5 Pro, gamers are eagerly awaiting more information on what could be the next big thing in gaming consoles.
