PS5 Pro design leaks ahead of September announcement

Much like last year's PS5 redesign, the upcoming PS5 Pro has been widely discussed for months thanks to numerous leaks. Now, one of the most trusted leakers around has revealed what the newly upgraded console will look like.

Bilbil-kun, who has a long history of accurate leaks, particularly where PlayStation is concerned, posted an illustration of the PS5 Pro design on Dealabs today. The design, which is very similar to the current version of the base PS5, has some extra slits on the sides to differentiate it, but aside from that, it is very comparable to the regular model:

The PS5 Pro will continue to be white, you'll still have USB-C ports on the front, alongside a power button, however, there is no disc-drive, making it a bit slimmer than the standard PS5. However, Sony's disc-drive add-on, which launched alongside the redesigned base PS5 last year, should be compatible with the new PS5 Pro. It is also expected that the PS5 Pro will ship with the standard DualSense controller with no changes, which isn't too surprising, as the PS4 Pro and Xbox Series X also both shipped with standard controllers.

Sony is expected to officially announce the PS5 Pro in a few weeks time, during a scheduled September ‘State of Play' livestream. The system is expected to hit store shelves before the end of the year.

KitGuru Says: We have yet to see the real-life system, but if this illustration is accurate, then it isn't really going to stand out from the standard PS5. The only main visual difference appears to be the additional slits on the side panels.
