We've been debating whether Sony would release a PS5 Pro in a couple of years to deliver an even more powerful games console since we finished our PS5 review. Sony appears to be doing just that, with the PS5 Pro reportedly in the works and set to be released in 2023 or 2024 at the very latest.
This mind-blowing information comes from sources who allegedly informed YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead, who believes Sony will attempt to target some type of 8K gaming with a device that will cost between $600 to $700. The PS5 Pro is expected to arrive once the PS5 restocking concerns have been resolved, which according to some reports will not be until 2023.

It's unclear how reliable this source is. Moore's Law is Dead has been a very dependable tipper in the past, but we'd take it with a grain of salt this time. And Moore's Law is Dead said he has no knowledge on specs or performance targets other than speculation, but Sony is undoubtedly working on a new PS5.
So, what can we anticipate from a console like this? Well, by late 2023 or early 2024, Sony should have access to new AMD CPU and graphics architecture; the PS5 currently employs an AMD Zen 2 processor and RDNA 2 graphics on a proprietary chipset.

According to Moore's Law is Dead, the PS5 Pro might be sold as an 8K console to go along with Sony's 8K TVs. Although the current PS5 claims to be capable of 8K output, we have yet to see any games run at that resolution. Even if Sony does release 8K games, we don't expect them to be graphically demanding games for the PS5.
Similarly, Moore's Law is Dead believes that Sony should not seek 8K gaming with the PS5 Pro because there isn't much demand in such high-resolution gaming. We tend to agree, preferring higher frame rates to ultra-high resolutions.
We believe the PS5 Pro will be similar to the PS4 Pro in that it will employ up-mixing and checkerboard rendering to create an 8K image from a lower-resolution image. Nvidia's deep-learning super sampling (DLSS) technology has seen a lot of success on cards like the GeForce RTX 3080.
Along with the claimed PS5 Pro leak, Moore's Law is Dead predicts that Sony will release a PS5 Slim by the end of 2022. This sounds plausible to us, given that Sony has already released small versions of prior PlayStation consoles, and the PS5 is ripe for a makeover.
Xbox Series X Refresh and Xbox Series S upgrade
Moore's Law is Dead also claims to have been informed by a source who "quite sure knows what they're talking about" that Microsoft is working on a performance-boosting Xbox Series S for late 2022.
A 6-nanometer AMD APU (accelerated processing unit) with more cores and greater clock speeds could be used in an improved Series S, according to reports. Such a device would have the capacity to target 60 frames per second at 1080p or 1440p resolutions in upcoming games like Starfield and Halo Infinite. More power would be nice, as much as we like the Xbox Series S, especially as an Xbox Game Pass machine.
And the YouTuber also reports that its sources say the Xbox Series X is updated but Microsoft will not be focused on it. It is alleged that "Xbox Series X Refresh" will arrive in 2023 or later.
If we locate Xbox Series X replenishment, that is an all-powerful agony, and for boosted versions of PS5 and Xbox Series X, 2023 or later, we are not really aware of a large number of next-gen Xbox or PlayStation game. The existing consoles are not quite one year old, after all.
Do you have to wait for these upgraded consoles? Well, that's hard to reply, because we have no difficult evidence, and you can't buy the actual models easily. You can also wait if you have any of the best PCs for games, particularly as you will have access to the best Steam games to keep you busy.
But we're saying we go to standard Xbox Series X and PS5, because they are both stellar machines that you won't regret using, and if you are an Xbox One or the PS4 player who is hungry for upgrader.
