Leaks reveal the alleged PS5 Pro name and design

A new report about the PS5 Pro has revealed alleged new information about the yet-to-be-announced console.

In an article about DealabsReliable PlayStation leaker billbil-kun says the final name for the mid-gen update is actually the PS5 Pro, posting a schematic of its design based on what he claims is the final packaging box for the new console.

The diagram above shows a similar console design to the current PS5 Slim, with white, two USB-C ports, and a power button on the front. But there are three black lines in the middle of the PS5 Pro’s outer shell that aren’t present on the base models. Bill Conn noted that the PS5 Pro appears to be slightly thicker than the PS5 Slim.

The PS5 Pro seen by billbill-kun does not include a disc drive. What is unclear is whether Sony is also planning to release a disc-drive version of the console. No price has been mentioned. The controller remains the base DualSense.

billbill-kun expects Sony to announce the PS5 Pro during the first half of September 2024. IGN has asked Sony for comment.

Instead, this is a list of games that IGN’s PlayStation gamers recommend as a group, ranked using our Face-Off tool so everyone can have an equal say on which games they think should be ranked above the rest. It’s presented in the spirit of acknowledging the games we love, and encouraging others to try them if you haven’t already.

With only 25 spots to fill, there are plenty of amazing modern games that didn’t make it to the top – but that doesn’t mean we don’t think they’re great too! Everyone who voted had plenty of personal favourites that just didn’t gain enough traction with the group to make it, which is inevitable when there are so many games and so many different perspectives.

Keep in mind that while the PS5 is a powerhouse that can run any PlayStation 4-compatible game, for the sake of clarity and sanity, we’ve narrowed our criteria for this compilation list to focus on games that have PlayStation 5-specific versions. So while we still love games like Doom 2016, God of War, Minecraft, Red Dead Redemption 2, and many more, until they’re updated, they’ll be sidelined on the PS4 list — and of course, many of them will have a place on our list of the 100 best games of all time.

Most importantly, remember that this list is just our group’s opinion and is no more “right” or “wrong” than a list you create yourself. Speaking of which: if you have your own ranking that you’d like to share with the world, we’d like to invite you to create a list of your top 25 (or top 100!) PlayStation games using our playlist tool and share it in the comments.
