Sony Could Skip PS5 Pro for PS6, Says Social Media Scuttlebutt - Push Square

There may not be a PS5 Pro this generation, with Sony potentially planning to skip a supercharged mid-gen refresh in favour of a full-blown successor.

Reliable industry snoop Tom Henderson teased the tidbit on Twitter, as he weighed in on a recurring report that PlayStation will overhaul its new-gen system later this year.

As has been indicated previously, this will purportedly feature a detachable disc drive, unifying the Japanese giant’s production pipeline as it attempts to flood the market with hardware following the shortages it experienced in the aftermath of the pandemic.

Even over two years into the generation, true new-gen exclusives are thin in numbers, and there doesn’t appear to be much appetite for a supercharged system now or any time soon.

Assuming the new model does exist, that makes the most sense to us; at this point, Sony clearly just wants to get the core console into as many homes as possible.
