Will Sony launch 2 models for the Next-Gen PlayStation in 2020? That’s at least what a Japanese journalist claims. According to his statement, alongside the standard PS5, a PlayStation 5 Pro model is also expected to be released.
When will the PS5 be released? There is no official date for the release of Sony’s Next-Gen console. However, experts assume that the release of the PS5 will take place in the fall or at the latest by the Christmas season of 2020.
Although Sony has already made some official statements about the new PlayStation generation, a new rumor now speaks of a development that likely few people had on their radar.
Please note that this rumor has not yet been commented on by Sony and should therefore be taken with a grain of caution.

What is the rumor about the PS5 Pro? According to the rumor, Sony will not only launch the PlayStation 5 in 2020 – but also 2 models at launch:
- The base model PlayStation 5 (PS5)
- as well as the more powerful version PlayStation 5 Pro (PS5 Pro)
The rumor further states that Sony has recognized the interest in a high-end model of the Next-Gen console and wants to give players what they desire right at the launch of the new generation.
Where does the rumor come from? The rumor originates from Japanese tech journalist Zenji Nishikawa. As Nishikawa reports in a video, he claims to have picked up the details from an insider source at the Computer Entertainment Developers Conference (CEDEC).

How likely is this rumor? Although it is still unconfirmed information, Zenji Nishikawa has proven to be a reliable source multiple times. For instance, he spoke about the Nintendo Switch Lite before its official announcement. While this is no guarantee that he is correct this time, his statements at least do not seem completely unfounded in this context.
