Having unveiled the PS4 Pro Specs during the PlayStation Meeting this week, Sony have moved to reveal just what their new console is.
Here’s the official breakdown from the tech giant:
- PS4 Pro is a high-end version of PS4 Slim
- PS4 Pro capable of outputting 4K graphics
- Includes HDR support
- Provides smoother and more stable framerates
