Read from tweaktown:

Sony has been shipping freight containers of mysterious development kits, and they might be PS5 Pro devkits.

Today Insider Gamer published new reports that Sony is readying a PlayStation 5 Pro model. Sources say the PS5 Pro could release as early as 2024, although information on upgrades or new hardware enhancements remains unclear. Sony's shipping records may lend credence to the PS5 Pro reports.

According to Sony Interactive Entertainment's freight shipment records, SIE Inc. Japan sent a sizable shipment to its San Mateo, California-based SIE America subsidiary that consists of 240 cartons, or 2,609kg (5751lbs), worth of "Development Kits for Interactive Entertainment Software."

This is actually the third and smallest shipment of development kits that Sony has recently made.

Throughout the last holiday period of 2022, Sony shipped over 20,000lbs of devkits to its Sony Interactive Entertainment of America tech ops team in San Mateo. Across these three shipments, Sony has shipped over 25,000lbs of development kits.

That's a lot of effort just to say Unity developers can make shovelware on the same console.

Seems way too late to be shipping out dev kits for pro, should have been out sooner.

Hopefully, the PS5 Pro Devkits will be used to make many fun and unique games for the PS5 Pro.
