Another report has emerged confirming the anticipated PlayStation 5 Pro model. This report additionally states that Sony aims to enhance the DualSense V3 controller, promising improvements to battery life.

The PS5 Pro is expected to launch in early November 2024 at a price of $699, with a retail price adjustment to $749.99 since August 2025. Insider Billbil-kun reported in late September that Sony is launching a new version identified by the model number CFI-7121.

Developments Regarding PS5 Pro Refresh and DualSense Controller

A recent article from the Polish outlet PPE claims a new PS5 Pro variant is on the way, as well as a refresh of the DualSense controller. While the console revision will be minor, the new controller may feature a removable battery, a first for PlayStation controllers.

In the past, PPE accurately leaked information about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024’s release on PS5 just days before the announcement, asserting credibility to its latest claims.

The new PS5 Pro model is reported to be slightly more power-efficient than its predecessor, with a decrease in power draw by approximately 3%. It is anticipated to debut before the holiday season of 2025, a significant time for consumer electronics retailers.

Summary

The upcoming PS5 Pro will be available in several markets, potentially with minimal promotional effort from Sony due to the slight hardware updates. Expect more detailed announcements as the release date nears.
