A 2024 PlayStation 5 Pro launch is becoming questionable attributable to a limited availability of first party titles that may take adavantage of its hardware. Sony has yet to acknowledge, let alone announce a launch date, for the PlayStation 5 Pro but there was enough leaks and rumors about its existence that almost all folks take it with no consideration that it’s on its way. A recent tweet from Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson who was responding in a thread regarding the upcoming Gamescom event, has some wondering if the PlayStation 5 Pro launch may not occur until 2025.
If it releases this 12 months!

Henderson explains in his own article regarding the PlayStation 5 Pro launch that while he has obtained official documents detailing timelines for developers to submit their applications for games for the subsequent console by September 15 it doesn’t mean that’s when it is going to launch. Moreover, he has older documents suggesting a possible launch in toward the top of November but too has not been set in stone and could possibly be pushed back if there usually are not enough games immediately available to support its more advanced features.
Per Insider Gaming:
“Despite the Pro seemingly being heading in the right direction, several sources have been apprehensive in regards to the console’s release later this 12 months, primarily attributable to the limited variety of first-party games that can use its features. Nonetheless, regarding documentation (90-95% of my reporting involves documentation sources), nothing implies that the PS5 Pro has been delayed or canceled.”
One such game that is predicted to be an enormous blockbuster is GTA VI and rumors suggest or not it’s released in February 2025. Other big name projects include a brand new game from Santa Monica Studio that could possibly be a God of War title following the top of Kratos and Atreus’ journey Scandinavian adventures in addition to the subsequent Horizon game from Guerrilla Games. Naughty Dog is alleged to have something within the works also which could possibly be The Last of US Part III. Anything is feasible but console manufacturers typically need quite a lot of first part titles available at launch that take adavantage of a brand new console’s hardware to entice consumers but a non-generational launch doesn’t necessarily need that incentive since it might probably showcase upgraded features with current games.
