In a press conference, TCL Technology states that more powerful PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles will release in 2023/2024. The press conference featured an image showing generation eight and nine consoles and their targeted render output. Following the PS4 and Xbox One generation, another column called Gen 8.5 highlighted the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. The image then mentioned that PS5 and Xbox Series X will have a mid-generation upgrade with support for up to 8K resolution.
An upgraded PS5 will presumably be called PS5 Pro, but Microsoft’s naming choice is harder to predict, so the image refers to the upgraded Xbox consoles as New Xbox Series S/X. It states that a supposed PS5 Pro and New Xbox Series X could have an output of up to 8k at 60-120 FPS and compares them to AMD’s RX 7700 XT GPU. PS5 and Xbox Series X already run some games at native 4K at 60 FPS, but the resolution drops whenever the frame rate targets 120 FPS.
