Recently, rumors about PS5 Pro have been emerging on the Internet. Many players are looking forward to Sony bringing news about this new console. Tom Henderson, a well-known insider, even posted that PS5 Pro will still be announced this year, and the announcement may be held at the Tokyo Game Show in September.


According to foreign media wccftech, game analyst William R. Aguilar recently listed the top ten reasons why Sony can announce the PS5 Pro at the PlayStation conference in September, and said that he is 90% sure that Sony will hold a PlayStation conference in September.

Here are the top ten reasons:

1. Sony needs to outline some of the games it intends to sell to shareholders before next year (2025). At the same time in 2023, players already know that "Star Blade", "Ronin Rise", "Star Wars", "Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth" and "Helldiver 2" will be released in 2024. In contrast, players know nothing about the games that will be released in 2025.

2. Sony will definitely announce the PS5 Pro, but Sony will not release it too early within a year after the announcement, because this will affect the sales of PS5. Therefore, the best time to announce the PS5 Pro is later this year, before the third quarter/Christmas.

3. Sony is developing many first-party games, but they have not yet been announced. These games have been developed for several years by some well-known studios under Sony (such as Naughty Dog, Santa Monica Studio, etc.). Sony hopes to show the best graphics and best performance of new games. Therefore, it is reasonable for Sony to announce these games on PS5 Pro.

4. 2024 is the 30th anniversary of Sony PlayStation. Since Sony released the PS1 in 1994, Sony wants to do something to commemorate this moment.

5. Sony's PlayStation division's new CEOs, Herman Hirst and Hideaki Nishino, have only been in office for a short time. Strictly speaking, the State of Play exhibition in May was held before the two took office, so they hope to make some new achievements for Sony PlayStation in their first year in office.

6.Take-Two wants to show "GTA6" on PS5 Pro.

7. Square Enix hopes to showcase "Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth" and "Final Fantasy 16" on PS5 Pro and bring some patches to improve game performance and quality.

8. Hideo Kojima also hopes to show Death Stranding 2 on PS5 Pro.

9. In addition to games from first-party studios, there are also some games from other studios and games from Sony's developer star programs in some regions (such as the China Star Program) that need to be shown as soon as possible before they are released. Some of these games cannot wait until the State of Play exhibition in early 2025 to be shown, because it will be too late to strengthen marketing by then.

10. The PS5 life cycle has entered the second half. Past precedents show that Sony will hold another large press conference in the middle of the year and show some new things. This does not mean that Sony will disclose everything, but Sony usually shows some games that will arrive in the next few years.
