The report also cites sources familiar with the Japanese gaming giant’s plans, saying that the company will require developers to ensure their games are compatible with the rumored console, most notably improving ray tracing.
Sony is reportedly encouraging developers to make greater use of graphics features like ray tracing in the PS5 Pro. The company has also stated that games can carry the “Trinity Enhanced” (PS5 Pro Enhanced) label if they offer “significant performance.” Improvements. ”
Sony PS5 Pro model: What to expect
According to this report, Sony is developing this model with the code “Trinity”. PlayStation 5 Pro models will have a more powerful graphics processor and a slightly faster processor mode.
This suggests that the PS5 Pro may be able to render games much better with ray tracing, and may offer higher resolutions and frame rates for certain titles.
The report also states that a Sony document detailing the upcoming console estimates that the PS5 Pro’s graphics rendering is “approximately 45 percent faster than the standard PlayStation 5.”
The PS5 Pro GPU could be larger and use faster system memory help improve ray tracing in games, the report added. Sony is also expected to use a “more powerful ray tracing architecture” on the PS5 Pro. For this reason, the Pro model is expected to offer up to three times the speed of the regular PS5.
Unlike the GPU, the CPU used in the Pro model is the same as the standard PS5, but will feature a new mode that allows for higher clocks.
In a developer document (seen by The Verge), Sony says that “Trinity features a mode that targets a CPU frequency of 3.85GHz,” which appears to be about 10 percent higher than the regular PS5. Sony also allows developers to choose between the 3.5GHz “standard mode” and the 3.85GHz “high CPU frequency mode.”
Apart from that, the PS5 Pro brings some changes to the system memory for developers. The PS5’s standard storage runs at 448GB/s, but with the PS5 Pro, Sony has increased this by 28% to 576GB/s.
The company may also offer developers more access to system-wide storage. Sony may allow games to take advantage of the PS5 Pro’s additional 1.2GB of system memory. This means developers can use a total of 13.7GB of storage, compared to the 12.5GB allocated for base games on the PS5.
Sony claims that “Trinity is a high-end version of the PlayStation 5.” The company also announced that it will continue to sell the standard PS5 after the launch of this new model.
Sony reportedly expects game developers to offer a single package that supports both the PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles. As a result, the company asked developers to patch existing games to improve performance.
A test kit for the next model is available for developers. Sony also hopes that all games submitted for certification in August will be compatible with the PS5 Pro.
According to rumors, the Pro version of this console will be released in 2024.
