Sony has announced the launch of the PlayStation 5 Pro, a more powerful and expensive version of its popular gaming console, set to release on November 7 at a price of £699.99.

The launch of the PS5 Pro represents a significant shift in Sony's strategy to appeal to hardcore gamers looking for improved performance.

This could be beneficial for companies involved in gaming software, especially when major titles are released.
