New PlayStation hardware coming later than we thought, says insider

We hoped delays for this new hardware would be a thing of the past, but apparently that isn’t the case.

In fact, according to inside sources, this new PlayStation tech is launching later than anticipated.

Rumours about the PS5 Pro have been circulating for quite some time now, with new details promising us an “absolute beast” of a console.

Sony fans had started to believe the insider gossip that the PS5 Pro was going to be released later in 2024.

Unfortunately, though, their faith isn’t being rewarded.

Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, when discussing preparation for Gamescom, teased that PlayStation plans have shifted somewhat.

When asked if September is the month the PS5 Pro will be announced, Henderson responded, “If it releases this year!”

Those are the words none of us wanted to read.

Naturally, fans want answers, but Henderson doesn’t seem to be giving them, though perhaps he knows nothing more than what he’s already said.

Given the fact that the PS6 release window has been quietly confirmed, many fear next year would be “too late” for a new version of the PS5 to launch.

With few other details coming our way, except for whispers on the wind of what might be, it’s hard to differentiate between fact and fiction.

Henderson is considered a reliable source, however, his tweet hardly claims remarkably long delays, simply that 2024 might not be the year for PS5 Pro.

Something has to give soon, though, as Sony hasn’t exactly reaped the benefits of the PS5 as it intended to; less units have been sold than projected.

The PS5 Pro could be the answer to its problems, but only if it launches soon. Otherwise, it seems more logical to wait for the PS6, no?

For now, just don’t get your hopes up about getting a new PlayStation before this year ends.
