PlayStation 5 Pro Dominates Gamescom 2024 Conversations

Developers Adjust Release Plans Based on PS5 Pro Rumors

PS5 Pro Might Be Coming In Late 2024, Gamescom Devs RevealAnticipation for the PS5 Pro has been building throughout 2024, sparked by earlier leaks. Gamescom 2024 saw this excitement reach fever pitch, with developers openly discussing the console. According to Alessio Palumbo of Wccftech, some developers have even delayed game launches to coincide with the PS5 Pro's arrival.

Palumbo revealed a noteworthy anecdote: "A developer, who wished to remain anonymous, spontaneously mentioned receiving PS5 Pro specifications and their confidence in Unreal Engine 5's enhanced performance on the new hardware compared to the standard PS5."

PS5 Pro Might Be Coming In Late 2024, Gamescom Devs RevealThis corroborates a report from Italian gaming site Multiplayer, which showcased a developer delaying a game release to align with the rumored PS5 Pro launch. Palumbo added, "This isn't the same developer as Multiplayer's report. The studio I spoke with is not a major player, indicating that many developers already possess the PS5 Pro's specs."

Analyst Predicts Imminent PS5 Pro Release

Reinforcing Palumbo's findings and the Gamescom 2024 developer insights, analyst William R. Aguilar hinted on X in July that Sony might announce the PS5 Pro later this year. Aguilar suggested a possible announcement during a rumored September 2024 State of Play, emphasizing Sony's need for timely action to avoid impacting current PS5 sales.

This timeline mirrors the PlayStation 4 Pro's 2016 launch, announced September 7th and released November 10th. Palumbo notes that if Sony follows a similar pattern, "an official announcement seems imminent."
