We’re over two years into the lifecycle of the PS5 and Xbox Collection X/S, and although it feels just like the console technology is just simply getting began, there are some who’ve began questioning whether or not there are extra highly effective variants of the present {hardware} ready within the wings. In any case, it was round this level within the earlier technology that we acquired the PS4 Professional and the Xbox One X- so may one thing comparable be within the playing cards for this technology as nicely?
Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, definitely appears to thinks so. When requested just lately by GamesIndustry.biz whether or not he thinks we are going to see a PS5 Professional and comparable mid-gen {hardware} improve for the present crop of console, Zelnick stated, “We most likely will”, earlier than including they a method or one other mid-gen refreshes don’t “have an effect on [Take-Two’s] enterprise very a lot”.
Although Zelnick’s reply was transient, it does appear to be aligning what current reviews have claimed. Allegedly, Sony is presently at work on a PS5 Professional with a goal launch window of late 2024 in thoughts, whereas builders will allegedly start getting developer kits for the extra highly effective {hardware} within the close to future as nicely. Stories of the same Xbox improve have been few and much in between, but it surely wouldn’t be stunning to see each consoles popping out with new and extra highly effective {hardware} within the coming couple of years.
