Sony announced the PlayStation 5 Pro in September after several leaks had already revealed details about the upgrades coming to the console. The PS5 Pro is expected to launch in select markets on November 7. Although Sony has shared the improved capabilities of the PS5 Pro, it has yet to detail the hardware specifications of the upcoming console. Now, the PlayStation 5 Pro spec sheet has apparently leaked ahead of its launch.
PS5 Pro specs leaked
The purported specifications surfaced online this weekend, detailing the console’s hardware. The spec sheet is in Portuguese and apparently leaked after the first shipments of the PS5 Pro arrived to buyers in international markets. User X @videotechuk_ shared an image of the purported spec sheet, revealing details of the PS5 Pro.
According to the leaked image, the PS5 Pro comes with the same 8-core, 16-thread AMD Ryzen Zen 2 processor as the original PS5. The console, however, benefits from improved RDNA graphics with 16.7 teraflops, compared to the PS5’s GPU with 10.28 teraflops.

The PS5 Pro, according to the leak, also comes with 16GB of dedicated GDDR6 VRAM, with 2GB of DDR5 RAM for the system. This also marks an upgrade over the PS5, which came with a unified 16GB of memory shared between the CPU and GPU.
As Sony has already confirmed, the spec sheet states that the PS5 Pro comes with double the storage of the PS5, with a custom 2TB SSD on board. Other details revealed in the spec sheet are also already confirmed by Sony, such as the PS5 Pro supporting Wi-Fi 7 for faster downloads. The console retains the PS5’s port selection, with two USB Type-C ports, one USB Type-A port, Ethernet and HDMI ports, and an expandable M.2 SSD storage slot.

The alleged spec sheet also reveals the exact dimensions of the PS5 Pro. When announcing the console, Sony said the PS5 Pro was as big as the original PS5, but a bit bigger than the PS5 Slim. The new console, however, is just as wide as the current PS5 Slim model in digital edition. According to the leak, the PlayStation 5 Pro will measure approximately 388 x 89 x 216 mm and weigh 3.1 kg. Keep in mind that these figures are for the console out of the box, without the external disk drive that can be purchased separately and connected to it.
While these specs match some of the previous leaks and some officially confirmed details, Sony has yet to reveal the full specs of its upcoming console. According to parent PlayStation, the PS5 Pro comes with 67% more compute units than the standard PS5 and has 28% faster memory. These upgrades enable up to 45% faster rendering for gaming on the new console, Sony claimed.
The PS5 Pro also comes with advanced ray tracing features and a new AI upscaling feature called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). The cost of these upgrades is high, however. The PS5 Pro will launch in select markets on November 7 at a suggested retail price of $699.99 (approximately Rs. 58,750).
