We might see a PS5 Pro before the end of the year.

According to a report Friday in Insider Gaming, PlayStation is targeting a holiday 2024 release for the console. The YouTube channel Moore’s Law Is Dead published a video with some of the device’s specs on Friday, which Insider Gaming says it has confirmed with an anonymous source.

According to Insider Gaming, the specs were part of documentation sent out this week through the PlayStation developer portal to third-party developers.

The updated version of the console, codenamed Trinity, is expected to have improved and consistent FPS at 4K resolution, a new ‘performance mode’ for 8K resolution, and accelerated ray tracing. 

The console is also expected to have 30 WGP and 18000mts memory, and render 45% faster than the PS5. Documentation Moore’s Law is Dead also indicates the console will have a GPU with 67 Teraflops FP16 (33.5 Teraflops FP32) performance, which should result in overall faster speeds and better graphics.

Devkits for the console have reportedly been available since September of last year for first-art studios, with the first third-party kits going out in January of this year. Test kits identical to the final product are expected to be available in spring.
