As Sony celebrated its anniversary, it might have announced the PS5 Pro

Sony has kicked off its 30th-anniversary celebration of PlayStation, and in doing so, might have unintentionally revealed a significant detail regarding the highly anticipated PS5 Pro. A blog post released earlier today to commemorate the milestone featured an image that eagle-eyed fans were quick to scrutinize. In this image, a PlayStation 5 design stands out, resembling the leaked PS5 Pro design that surfaced just a week ago.

The leak, initially reported by Dealabs, came from retail packaging that featured a sketch of the PS5 Pro’s design. The sketch depicted three bold black stripes running across the console’s front, a departure from the single stripe found on the standard PS5. Interestingly, those same three black stripes are clearly visible in Sony’s 30th-anniversary montage, suggesting that the design in question might indeed be for the PS5 Pro. The regular PS5, which is also part of the montage, maintains its single black stripe, further supporting the notion that the three-striped version is something new, likely the PS5 Pro.

Dealabs had previously mentioned that an official announcement for the PS5 Pro was expected sometime during the first half of September. However, no one had expected Sony to provide such a subtle teaser in its anniversary celebration material. Adding to the speculation, PlayStation’s official Instagram account posted the same image with a cryptic caption, “Your first look,” accompanied by a link, further fueling excitement that the new model is about to be officially revealed.

Rumors about the PS5 Pro have been swirling for several months. Reports have indicated that developers have been optimizing their games to harness the improved capabilities of the upgraded console. Additionally, a source familiar with Sony’s plans confirmed that all games scheduled for release after September 16th must be compatible with the PS5 Pro. This strongly suggests that the official unveiling of the console is just around the corner, and fans can expect a formal announcement in the very near future.

As anticipation builds, gamers and industry insiders alike are eagerly waiting for Sony to confirm the arrival of the PS5 Pro, a device that promises to take gaming performance to the next level with its enhanced hardware capabilities. With all signs pointing toward an imminent reveal, the excitement surrounding the next iteration of Sony’s flagship gaming console continues to grow.
