I've always assumed it would be 2028, can't see PS6 arriving next year. No chance.

@TheFakulty That's to do with capcom's denoiser more than PSSR2.

@Icey664 It's terrific fun!

Next Week: "PS6 not coming before 2029"

At this point, fairly obvious that none of these 'leakers' know.

When the highest band is '41 and older' and you're 55....

Thanks, Pushsquare!

For a group who supposedly 'aren't bothered at all, honest' about this decision, you only have to look at comments on pc and multiplatform site articles about it....

The amount of cope in such places via sour grapes style comments about how few sony games there are anyway and how happy they are that Sony will now not their money at all etc etc shows exactly how 'not bothered' they are.

The PCMR doth protest too much, methinks. 😉

@KundaliniRising333 But you lose the chance to play two games. Cutting off your nose to spite your face, as they say.

Good. If the so-called 'PCMR' want to play stuff like Saros, make them buy a PS5/Pro to do so. Loads of them will do so anyway to play GTA VI on release, even if they pretend they won't.

@Contimaloris You can always get around 15% off digital prices in UK anyway via credit at Shopto or other places

@FinalBoss Same. I have multiple consoles around the place - PS5 Pro in lounge, PS5 in bedroom, PS5 + wheel set-up in one of the spare bedrooms. I can access any game i want on any of them - can't even imagine the faff of taking discs between them all for the big library I have ugh.

Think we'll start to get bigger and bigger gaps between Pro and base PS5 now, partly due to how good PSSR 2.0 obviously is, but also just the usual demands of later in the gen software.

And with PS6 likely 2-3 years away, I'm feeling very comfortable about my Pro purchase.

Does anyone know if the 2.0 update will manage to patch in an actual game to this trash?

@Leinad7 lol are you for real with the 'probably paid' stuff?!

Pretty desperate sour grapes tbh!

@Noone2025 You realise that those of us who bought the Pro to enjoy the best performance for probably 4+ years before PS6 comes out aren't stuck with it forever?

Don't tell everyone the secret, but (looks around to check no-one is iistening) we can trade it in for a PS6 at that point.

@nessisonett DF are fully independent of Eurogamer/IGN now, but that brings its own issues with them obviosly trying not to upset any part of the crowd any more for fear of losing views/subs.

I do agree with your general comment though - they're far less reliable than the gospel that a lot of people believe them to be. You only have to look at their errors regarding PSSR 2.0, along with a number of reverse ferrets they had to do last year on various 'pronouncements' they'd previously made.

@J2theEzzo I'm on Pro but I'm sure the base PS5 isn't anywhere as bad as that in general gameplay. DF just picked a frame to exaggerate things, as they often do these days sadly.

The left hand one looks more like the Switch 2 image quality to be honest!

@CrispyMango92 Yes it's already in the code for RE9.

The firmware update in March is to add it at system level and for a toggle that lets any PSSR game use the PSSR 2.0 tech - despite the likes of DF previously insisting it would have to be done on a game-by-game basis, I'd add.

@OldGamer999 I'm quietly hopeful that for GTA VI on Pro we'll get a 40fps mode at least...

@carlos82 Same here! Hard to believe it was about 30 years ago I was playing the original on my PS1 on a 28" CRT, jumping off my sofa when those dogs crashed through the hallway window!

Equally hard to believe that I'm lucky enough to be sat here at 55, early retired for a couple of years, and enjoying the same series on a PlayStation, only this time it's a Pro, hooked up to a 65" Sony A95L with a Samsung Q990F Atmos system!

The same and yet not the same. These graphics are something else, just like the audio.

Not my thing at all, but happy it's apparently doing what it should do, well.

@StitchJones Exactly. Steam machine, whenever it finally does appear, is likely to be far more expensive than even a Pro, and won't get anywhere near it in performance terms, and yet it'll get a pass from PCMR because Valve.

Saros is going to be incredible with this.

We all know the quote for PSVR2 at this stage.

"It's dead Jim"

Funniest part of the comments is how hurt some people are because it got an 8.

Some of the comments read like a member of their family has been personally insulted.

Sounds like its not as good as 2 or 4, which is a shame.

GTA VI on Pro will be able to get 40fps easily, especially with PSSR 2.0. And 40 is a hell of a lot better than 30.

It's easy when you're in a bubble like on these sites to not see the world outside of it - the majority of gamers won't even know who Bluepoint is, let alone what they released, so Sony certainly won't be bothering about 'distraction tactics' or the like.

@Barrymore But by cancelling your ps plus, you're just cutting off your nose to spite your face, as the expression goes.

@DestructionAllstars I kind of agree, and at the end of the day it's their company, their business, they can do whatever the f*** they want with it, same as you and I could.

@Max_the_German Yep, but a very rich one!

@Dan12836666 "No one wants digital only..."

Been all-digital for a decade. Wouldn't ever go back to discs.

Most people will be like the honest poster above - insist they're 'out', make a load of fuss, cry, whine....then quietly buy the console anyway.

@Deadhunter Yep, gatekeepers gotta gatekeep their precious sense of worth at beating a hard videogame. Nothing changes.

Comment-tastic!

that's me out until they inevitably bring it in in a patch down the line

Late 2028 always felt about right to me anyway, especially with the Pro coming out late 2024. So even if PS6 goes to 2029 I, like most on here, am totally fine with that!

@MFTWrecks What are you saying, you don't enjoy collecting a load of chemical A and a load of B, putting it in a refiner with chemical C for fuel, to get a load less of product D out of it after a period of time while you collect more of it?! And then navigating the build menus to use it?

It's for sure the biggest issue with the early to mid game, if anything even worse than it used to be.

I don't give a ***** about Gen AI tbh. The 'stance' against it will be seen to be nothing but shaking a fist at a cloud.

PSSR 2.0 patch for Spiderman 2 incoming then, probably same time. Perfect publicity for them.

Look forward to this on PS5 in probably 2028.

@datamonkey Strong rumours PSSR 2.0 will be active by end of the month with RE9 having it at launch

@UltimateOtaku91 I know, right? Makes you wonder why they are even gaming with such an apparent hatred of anything to do with it.

PSSR 2.0 is strongly expected to be out by the end of this month, so this will should one of the early new releases to benefit from it.

I agree with the review of this. Tried the demo and sure, it's novel, but the reference to Lonely Mountain Downhill is spot-on in terms of the repetition and difficulty spikes.

GOTY comments are hilarious tho.

OLED will be the point I jump on, no comparison when you get an OLED panel. Will be great.

Yep, it sounds like how I feared it would be...looks great, different, intriguing and fun at first. Couple of hours later it probably turns into a frustrating, repetitive, rage-inducing slog to the point you're relieved when it's over. Lonely Mountains Downhill had the same kind of issues.

I'll watch a few streams of it but this is a nope from me.

This is great. Put a lot of hours into Subnautica, built a big base and even the cyclops so will enjoy trying out the sequel, even with the mixed reception it got. And the others are more interesting than usual.

@Fiendish-Beaver You'll love it. And with the PS6 not looking to be around before late 2028 now at earliest, you'll get plenty of use out of it.

Been all digital for years so couldn't care less. Save 15% on the price via discounted PSN credit so I'll get it cheaper too. Hardly going to trade it in so that element isn't relevant either.

Now let's wait for all the cope about 'pleased to wait longer' 'wasn't going to buy anyway', 'would rather not buy than buy digitally because I like to shake my fist at a cloud'.

Oh, it's already all here.
