While Sony is still struggling to supply the world with its popular PlayStation 5 game consoles, it seems that the company is already working on another console. A new report has suggested that a prototype console is currently in development, and it might be the PS5 Pro.
The news arrives from TweakTown (Via TomsGuide) who spotted the prototype on import records on the Sony’s shipping boxes of development kits that were being sent to the US. The Japanese tech giant is already rumored to also be working on a lighter model with a smaller heatsink, but now, it seems that a higher end version is also in development. The brand’s shipment reads “video game consol [sic.] (prototype),” which was dispatched from the UK to the UK.
It is still entirely possible that the shipment could be for an old prototype. But it is more likely that the company might be working on a refreshed model of the PS5. The new gaming console could even feature hardware upgrades or revisions. So it could be either a slim model with a smaller size or a Pro version with more powerful specifications. As of right now, it is more or less certain that a Slim version will launch sometime in the near future.
But, considering that Sony had launched a PS4 Pro with the last generation, it won’t be a surprise if the prototype in question is for the PlayStation 5 Pro. Keep in mind that this is still just speculation at the moment, so take this report with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more updates.
