Sony reveals much more expensive and powerful PlayStation 5 Pro

UK gamers will have to shell out £699.99 when the upgraded console launches on 7 November.

After years of rumour, speculation and hype, Sony has confirmed it is launching a more powerful - and much more expensive - version of its hugely popular PlayStation 5 console. Paul Tamburro, from news website PlayStation LifeStyle, said fans had been hoping the console could "bridge the gap" between performance and fidelity modes, and the upgrade would help. Chief among them were unsourced claims that the PS5 Pro would be backwards compatible with games from previous Sony consoles - with some reports suggesting this would go as far back as the original PlayStation.
