The revision is not expected to alter the system&#8217;s 2TB SSD storage capacity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sony is set to launch a new version of the PS5 Pro on the European market, identified by the reference CFI-7121. Availability on the American continent remains uncertain at this time,&#8221; the insider wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The news follows the launch of a revised base PlayStation 5 model in Europe earlier this year, which reduced storage capacity to 825GB while increasing the price to \u20ac499.99.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike that revision, the new Pro model does not appear to be reducing storage or raising its price beyond the existing \u20ac799.99 retail point.<\/p>\n<p>Sony has not commented on the reported hardware update. Some analysts have speculated that recent console revisions may be tied to European Union regulations on energy efficiency or to tariff-related manufacturing costs.<\/p>\n<p>Others believe the changes could reflect Sony&#8217;s longer-term focus on efficiency, as suggested in reports surrounding the development of the PlayStation 6.<\/p>\n<p>If accurate, the launch would make this the latest in a series of mid-cycle hardware updates aimed at keeping Sony&#8217;s flagship console competitive in global markets.<\/p>\n<p>At present, it is unclear whether the PS5 Pro CFI-7121 will be released outside of Europe.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new PlayStation 5 Pro model is reportedly set to launch in Europe at the end of September 2025, according to a leak from industry insider billbil-kun.
