PlayStation appears to be teasing thePlayStation 5Pro, and it supports some leaks that have already been floating around for a while.

With that said, going off past console generations, the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S are about halfway through their lifespan. Many have speculated that console revisions may be on the way as a result, and it seems that’s about to happen.

Fans likeWario64on X (formerly Twitter) were able to pick out a console that’s never been officially announced in one of the graphics created for this news.
The console looks like a PlayStation 5, but with some extra flair, and it resembles thedesign that recently leaked for the alleged PS5 Pro. The console has been an open secret for some time, butit seems like PlayStation is getting ready to officially announce it.
