PS4 Pro Specs & Official Images Revealed

4.5
The most advanced PlayStation console yet is coming. It's got 4K resolution and high dynamic range (HDR) gaming, but it won't play 4K Blu-ray discs and it's called PlayStation 4 Pro. It will launch on November 10, 2016 and cost $399/£349.

"Our goal is to deliver high-fidelity graphical experiences," he added. "We aim to provide developers with tools to further their visions."

Among the hardware upgrades in the PS4 Pro are a 1TB hard drive, doubled GPU power, and technology adapted from AMD Polaris graphical architecture. These allow the PS4 Pro to reach resolutions "not thought possible on consoles" in 2016. The CPU clockspeed has also been boosted. The Pro will not have a 4K Blu-ray drive.


Cerny clarified that PS4 Pro isn't just for people with 4K or HDR-capable displays, as developers can make use of the extra power to improve visual fidelity on standard 1080p TVs.

Patches for "over a half-dozen Sony titles" are in the works to take advantage of PS4 Pro and many third-party developers are also working on releasing patches to take advantage of the new hardware.
