The PlayStation 5 Pro (PS5 Pro) is set to launch on November 7, 2024.

The PS5 Pro will be priced at £699.99/$699.99. Pre-orders for the console have been open, with widespread availability at participating retailers and directly from PlayStation.

The PS5 Pro boasts an enhanced GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI-optimized upscaling among its improvements. It includes a 2TB SSD, comes with a DualSense wireless controller, and has Astro’s Playroom pre-installed. Notably, it’s designed as a disc-less console, with an option to purchase a separate disc drive.

The design maintains the visual language of the PS5 family but with internal enhancements for performance. It’s compatible with existing PS5 accessories like PlayStation VR2, PlayStation Portal, and others.

Several games are confirmed to receive updates for PS5 Pro’s enhanced features, including titles like “Alan Wake 2,” “Assassin’s Creed: Shadows,” and “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2,” among others.

Sony positions the PS5 Pro not just as an upgrade for existing PlayStation users but also appealing to new users, emphasizing its power and performance enhancements over the standard PS5.

There’s significant buzz around the PS5 Pro, with an unboxing video leaked by a German retailer, showcasing the console before its official launch, indicating high anticipation and stock readiness among retailers.

From posts on platforms like X, there’s a mix of excitement for the performance leap the PS5 Pro promises, concerns about its price point, and discussions on how it stacks against high-end gaming PCs and other consoles like the Xbox Series X.

This launch represents Sony’s strategy to keep the PlayStation at the forefront of console gaming technology with a mid-generation refresh, focusing on performance improvements that could potentially redefine gaming experiences with better graphics and faster loading times due to enhanced hardware capabilities.

Twitter now X has introduced a new feature that allows users to search through their bookmarks, enhancing the overall user experience.

This update, available on both iOS and web platforms, has been well-received by users who have been anticipating this functionality.

The feature enables users to easily locate specific bookmarked content by keyword, making it more convenient to manage and access their saved posts.

Nvidia has surpassed both Microsoft and Apple to become the world’s most valuable company. This development reflects the significant impact of artificial intelligence on the market, with Nvidia being a key player in this sector.

Per the latest information available, the net worth of Nvidia is now approximately $3.34 trillion surpassing Apple who have approximately $2.62 trillion, and that of Microsoft about $2.89 trillion.

Nvidia’s milestone comes amid an artificial intelligence craze that has made its chips and graphics processing units increasingly valuable to fellow tech companies like Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Alphabet.

Microsoft is estimated to make up 15% of Nvidia’s revenue, according to Bloomberg supply chain data, and Nvidia is estimated to control between 70% and 95% of the AI chip market, CNBC reported, citing Mizuho Securities. Nvidia, which reported $8.4 billion in net income in its 2023 fiscal year, shows little to no signs of slowing down, as analysts forecast its net income to surpass Apple’s in just four years. (Forbes)
