Sony has patented a new device that could be a PS5 Pro much more powerful than the model just presented. Here are the characteristics
Of the PlayStation 5 we still do not know everything: to say it is the same Sony that is organizing for this and for the coming months of the new events to show definitively all the features of the console. In previous months there has been insistent talk of the possibility that the PS5 is launched in multiple versions and the news is confirmed true: in addition to the model “normal” there is also one “Digital” without the Blu-Ray player.
The surprises, however, may not end there. Sony has recently received from the California agency dedicated to trademarks a new patent on a new device that seems to be in effect a new console, a kind of PS5 Pro. Or at least a new device, a new technology for the world of gaming. Reading the description of the patent you can guess that it is a system rather complex and modular, able to increase the power of the processor and the amount of RAM according to the needs of the user. Being a patent it’s not certain that it will see the light of day, but it’s a pretty strong indication that Sony is already focused on the development of an even more powerful console after the PS5.
PlayStation 5 Pro, what’s true
Sony is working on a device that can outperform the PlayStation 5. Or at least make the next console even richer in terms of services. Reading the description of the patent, in which it talks about the possibility to modulate the device according to the power required, the first thought is a new cloud gaming service or a console that uses the power of the cloud to run games.
In simpler words: a new version of PlayStation Now that is based on a system similar to Google Stadia. All integrated within a new console that might have inferior features, but that harnesses the power of the cloud to be more powerful than even a top-of-the-line PC. So a sort of PlayStation 5 Pro able to support without too many problems the highest possible resolution and 60 frames per second: the important thing is to have the right TV and an ultra fast connection.
What we are talking about is a patent and as such must be taken: in many cases do not become reality, but are only the basis on which to develop new technologies and devices. We’ll see in the coming months how the situation will evolve.
