As everyone anticipated, Sony has finally confirmed its plans on taking its PlayStation 4 video game console into uncharted territory later this year. The company has recently revealed the surprisingly affordable PlayStation 4 Pro, a much-enhanced refresh version of the PlayStation 4 console, but with much more features that highlights owners of 4K TVs. It will also improve the experience that users have with this year's most exciting new console releases. With that, the PlayStation 4 Pro is looking forward to becoming the game console of the future.
The PS4 Pro is looking to be better than any other console
Sony has announced the PS4 Pro in September. Rumors claimed that the console would be having an enhanced processor and more power so that PlayStation gamers will be able to get even better-looking games than they can with the current PS4. That's exactly what the PlayStation 4 Pro brings to the table. With that being said, here's everything you need to know about the upcoming PS4 Pro:
Release Date
A little while back, Sony has confirmed that the PS4 Pro, formerly called the NEO, would come way sooner than a lot of industry insiders have speculated. Some rumors pointed to a mid-2017 release, while others predicted a holiday roll out. Among the predictors, the latter that had the right details. The PlayStation 4 Pro release date has been set for this holiday season. More specifically, Sony plans to launch the PS4 Pro on the 10th of November. Doing so would be a very wise move for the company's behalf. With the said release, Sony would be able to capitalize during the holiday shopping spree and start out ahead of Microsoft's upcoming Project Scorpio.
Price & Games
Eager to make their mark on a changing landscape, Sony also shocked people with the PlayStation 4's pricing. The PS4 Slim, a model that has the same internals as the base PS4, launched in mid-September for only $299. That model will be replacing the basic model that Sony has offered up to now.
The PlayStation 4 Pro will be as expensive as the PS4
The PlayStation 4 Pro, on the other hand, will be a higher-end console. But despite that being said, it will not be as expensive as a lot of people expected it to be. Contrary to everyone belief, the console will cost only $399, which is pretty much the same price that the base PS4 cost when it officially launched
Why it's called the 'Pro'
Sony has mentioned that it named its upcoming flagship console the PS4 Pro in order to emphasize its commitment to existing games a lot more. If a title is already available on the PS4, it'll work on Pro. PS4 Pro games are only enhanced versions of PlayStation 4 games. If a game hasn't been enhanced by developers, the console will simply turn off its extra graphics processor to ensure the game would still work on the Pro.
