For just over a week, the discussion surrounding the PlayStation 5 Pro has yet to cease. Although the momentum of the PlayStation 5 has been uninterrupted since releasing in 2020, the anticipation does not appear to align for its upcoming pro model. Priced at $699 and requires additional purchases for the disc drive & vertical stand, many players are not convinced to purchase this mid-generation refresh.

In new development for the PlayStation 5 Pro, it was revealed that over 50+ titles are set to be enabled for PS5 Pro Game Boost come its release in September. Spread across PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 5 titles could bring improved experiences to a plethora of titles. However, Digital Foundry speaking to IGN did disclose that titles like the anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI is not likely to reach 60hz with the same GPU as the base PlayStation 5.

Now in a new report from Reuters, it is revealed that Sony has already established its deal on processors for the next PlayStation console. In that, it is indicated that PlayStation 6 will be in utilizing AMD silicon once again. Established in 2022, the arrangement was almost handed to Intel before Sony decided on AMD to further its legacy backwards compatibility support.

“We strongly disagree with this characterization but are not going to comment about any current or potential customer conversations. We have a very healthy customer pipeline across both our product and foundry business, and we are squarely focused on innovating to meet their needs,” Intel issued in a statement to Reuters.

And this effort is evident currently at PlayStation. Despite the gripes towards PlayStation 5 Pro, many cannot discount its endeavor to bring improvements to titles support through its legacy program. Just like Xbox FPS Boost, PlayStation 5 Pro Game Boost is to offer a similar experience improving the core game. The only divide is that Sony requires cooperation with developers to realize these improvements on games.

Do you believe this was the right move by Sony?
