Sony is currently planning a new version of the PS4 with increased graphical power and games running at 4K resolution, developer sources tell Kotaku.
We don’t know whether current PS4 owners will be able to upgrade or if they’ll have to buy an entirely new device to benefit from this power boost, but from what we hear, Sony has started briefing developers.
Based on conversations with developers who have spoken with Sony, this ‘PS4.5’ will include an upgraded GPU both to support high-end 4K resolution for games and add more processing power that can enhance the games supported by PlayStation VR, the headset Sony will launch this fall.
It looks like investing in that ridiculous 4K TV I bought last year might actually be worth it in the end – should this prove to be true.
On the other hand if you add PSVR & a new PS4.5 together you’re likely to end up with a cost around that of the Vive & Oculus. Not so cheap after all?
