PS5 Pro design leaks ahead of September announcement

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

Bilbil-kun, who has a long history of accurate leaks, especially when it comes to PlayStation, 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 additional slits on the sides to differentiate it, but other than that, it's very comparable to the regular model:

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

Sony is expected to officially announce the PS5 Pro in a few weeks during a State of Play livestream scheduled for September. The system is expected to go on sale before the end of the year.

KitGuru says: We haven't seen the real system yet, but if this image is accurate, it won't really stand out from the standard PS5. The only visual difference seems to be the extra slots on the side panels.
