PS5 Pro to launch

After months of rumours, speculation, and Sony itself leaking an image of the design in the celebration artwork for the 30th anniversary of PlayStation (whoops), PlayStation 5 Pro has officially been announced. Great news for pro gamers, less good news for your wallet. But before we whine about that, let's talk about the more fun numbers. The console's GPU will have 67% more Compute Units and 28% faster memory. What that gibberish technobabble means is that you'll get 45% faster rendering for your games.

But you're not reading the final issue of Meaningless Numbers Magazine. You want to know what all these impressive-sounding double-digits will mean for your games. Luckily, PS5 Pro is launching with a series of titles that will take advantage of its power. These 'enhanced with PS5 Pro titles include some that are expected but welcome, like both The Last Of Us games (it had almost been a week since Naughty Dog had released yet another version of Part I, and we were starting to worry).

There's a decent amount of third-party support, too, such as Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, and the forthcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows.
