With a PS5 Pro announcement on most people's agenda for this year, it seemed likely that we were going to get an official confirmation sooner rather than later. Especially with the rumor mill running rampant.
And with Sony announcing yesterday a PlayStation 5 technical presentation that will air today (September 10) at 8am PDT/11am EDT/4pm BST, it looked like we were finally going to be able to put the rumours to rest. But then again, there's always room for it to be something more, right?
Well, not really. As spotted by Wario64 on X/Twitter, it looks like today’s tech presentation will focus on the PS5 Pro. A screenshot from an unlisted video shows the title “PS5 Pro” with the tech presentation trailer as the video itself. You can still watch the link, but the video has been renamed to “PlayStation 5 Tech Showcase – September 10,” as was likely originally intended.

This isn't the first sign that the PS5 Pro is trying to break the barrier ahead of its official reveal. The mid-generation refresh was seemingly accidentally revealed (or even deliberately hinted at) in promotional material for PlayStation's 30th anniversary celebrations. Looking at the image, we can see what appears to be a new-look PS5 wedged between the PlayStation logo and the “3.”
Still, while revealing the PS5 Pro announcement before the tech presentation was undoubtedly a mistake, Sony might welcome the distraction considering it quietly raised the price of its DualSense wireless controller by $5 / £5 at PlayStation Direct and other retailers.
