Meanwhile, it’s still unknown if Sony will do the same with the PlayStation Neo, aka PlayStation 4.5 or PlayStation 4K.

At its core, it’s still a PS4, so the new console can play all existing games, and a combination of technologies, such as anti-aliasing and upscaling will also make current 1080p games look sharper on 4K displays.
The GPU performance has been increased an the clock rate of the PS4 CPU has been increased.
But PlayStation 4 Pro isn’t just about 4K. Sony also showed versions of Tomb Raider, WatchDogs 2, and Killing Floor 2 running at 4K and all were equally impressive to our eyes.
Gaming in 4k resolution is finally coming to consoles. HDR enables visuals to look much closer to the way your eyes see the real world.
The slimmer PS 4 is 30% smaller, 16% lighter and 28% more power efficient, Mr House said, and will go on sale for 299 U.S. dollars (£224), wiith the Pro at 399 USA dollars (£299). Don’t worry – PS4 Pro will detect your TV and adjust the graphical fidelity accordingly. By naming it PS4 Pro, Sony is declaring the generation it belongs to.
The PS4 Pro is Sony’s answer to Microsoft’s XBox Scorpio. Also confirming earlier reports, we originally thought that this conference would introduce the PlayStation Neo. House told the FT that the new version of the PS4 would have a higher price tag than the existing one – which Sony would continue to sell.
However, popular features like Youtube and Netflix will have updated apps to take advantage.
Where offers additional capabilities over the original Xbox One-4K video and Blu-ray support, for example, and HDR compatibility-the slimmer new base PlayStation 4 does not.

The PlayStation 4 Pro will cost £349 or $399 and is available from 10 November. It’s way to slow paced. However, unlike Microsoft, Sony hasn’t boosted the console’s actual features this time. At launch, you’ll be able to download patches for games – such as Uncharted 4 – which are enhanced when playing on the new console.
