In a recent Wccftech report, an unspecified developer told the outlet that they had received the specs for the upcoming and highly rumored PlayStation 5 Pro. According to the developer, the console will be able to run Unreal Engine 5 developed games much better and faster than the base PlayStation 5. The report states that because of this, “it is reasonable to assume an official announcement is near.” According to several rumors over the year the console will launch sometime at the end of the year. Developer documentation by Digital Foundry which cites its own sources claims that the PlayStation 5 Pro PlayStation Spectral Resolution (PSSR) tech is capable of upscaling 1080p visuals to 4K. This technology will also reportedly be backwards compatible with existing PlayStation 5 games.

Many fans are now wondering where the benefits have gone. Some major changes are coming to the PlayStation Stars loyalty reward program on October 24, and many subscribers aren’t happy.

A prototype of a Nintendo PlayStation SNES controller has sold at auction over the weekend, with the winning bid coming in at a whopping $35,000. Yes, controllers are expensive in general these days, but $35,000 could get you a decent vehicle (or at least a really nice down payment on one). So why would someone pay such an enormous sum for a controller that's over three decades old, and might not even still function? Because it falls into the 'ultra-rare collectible' category.

Microsoft is rumored to be developing several upcoming titles and one of the consoles some believe to be in development is an Xbox hybrid console similar to the Nintendo Switch. However, according to Windows Central’s JezCorden this turns out to be false. In the latest episode of the Xbox Two podcast, Corden stated that the console will be a standard home console but will have a handheld as an add on. “I’ll tell you now: there’s going to be a separate handheld and there’s going to be an Xbox Series X successor,” he said. “It’s going to be two different things. They’re not just going to try and go all in on handheld only; they’re going to do a more traditional console for the Series X people and then a handheld. […] I’m predicting a Series X successor, a handheld, and the end of the paywall for premium multiplayer games.”
