PS5 Pro name seemingly confirmed by Sony ahead of imminent reveal
The console’s expected name was briefly included on an unlisted PlayStation YouTube video
Sony appears to have inadvertently confirmed the name of PlayStation 5’s mid-gen refresh ahead of its official reveal.
The company announced today that will deliver a PS5 “technical presentation” on Tuesday, hosted by lead system architect Mark Cerny.
Various players, including Wario64 on X, subsequently spotted an unlisted video on the platform holder’s YouTube channel titled ‘PS5 Pro’. Viewable above, it has since been retitled ‘PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation – September 10’.

Announcing the presentation, Sony said it will “focus on PS5 and innovations in gaming technology”.
Starting on September 10 at 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm BST, the stream will be broadcast in English on the PlayStation YouTube channel and run for nine minutes.
According to a leak which may now have been confirmed by Sony, PS5 Pro’s design will be similar to the PS5 Slim. The main difference is expected to be the addition of three black stripes across the middle of the system, differentiating it from the most recent console model.
Sony seemingly raised the price of PS5’s DualSense controller over the weekend. Multiple US retailers increased the price of the peripheral on Sunday, from $70 to $75, including Best Buy, Target, and PlayStation’s own Direct store.
