FULL STORY
======================================================================

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of today's PlayStation 5 Technical 
Presentation, otherwise known as the likely reveal of the PS5 Pro console. 

Wherever you are in the world, we're only a matter of a few hours away from 
the presentation with PS5 lead architect Mark Cerny, where we'll likely see a 
shiny new hardware member of the PlayStation family revealed at 8am PT / 11am 
ET / 4pm BST. 

I'm here to provide a rundown of what we can expect, what we're hoping for, 
all the best rumors and details that have surfaced so far, and more. Let's 
get into it! 

We're only ten minutes out from the presentation starting! We'll be taking 
you through all the ins and outs of the video itself and what Sony shows, as 
well as reminding you of a few key rumors that have cropped along our journey 
to this point. 

While we all have an idea as to why we're all gathered here today, Sony did 
rather let slip as recently as yesterday... 

Sony seemed to accidentally jump the gun in regards to the official PS5 Pro 
announcement. Ahead of today's Mark Cerny-hosted PlayStation 5 Technical 
Presentation, its as-of-now unlisted video bore the title of 'PS5 Pro' which 
sort of gives the game away. 

We'll give Sony the benefit of the doubt and assume this was a mistake - with 
that 'PS5 Pro' video title potentially meant for after the presentation has 
aired. Seems a little too convenient though... 

On TechRadar Gaming, we've got our own desires and wishes. I've asked my 
colleagues to share what they hope to see in the presentation. 

"For PS5 Pro, it's not just performance that's key. It's optimization. In a 
reverse of what typically happens with console generations, we're seeing more 
recent big-ticket PS5 games perform relatively worse than those of earlier in 
the console's lifecycle. Titles like Horizon Forbidden West , Rise of the 
Ronin , and Star Wars Outlaws all struggled to maintain a smooth 60fps in 
their performance modes at launch. 

This is something that I feel needs to be addressed with the PS5 Pro. More 
reliable performance for those who prefer higher framerates is a must here, 
along with a beefier internal SSD for speedier load times (and hopefully a 
bulkier 2TB capacity). Though as we're already seeing 40fps modes in titles 
like Star Wars Outlaws , aimed at folks with VRR-capable displays, there's 
potential for this to be the new standard going forward for big-budget AAA 
games."
