Rumors have it this event will announce the PS5 Pro. I know the PS5 has been out for years now but does anyone feel like a pro version might be unnecessary? Current gen games already look great and run fine*

Honestly, it’s pretty far into the PS5’s lifecycle at this point. I think a PS5 Pro this late into the current generation would be a bad move, because a PS6 is undoubtedly around the corner in just a few years and will effectively obsolesce a PS5 Pro, anyway.

If they released a Pro version last year, that’d make more sense. But unless Sony’s expecting this generation to stretch out longer than normal, this just doesn’t seem like a good idea.

PS5 came out in 2020, PS6 is expected in 2028 or ’29. We’re right at the half way point. Seems about just right really
