PlayStation 4 Pro now available in North America

Sony Interactive Entertainment has launched the PlayStation 4 Pro, a new console model with improved hardware specs.

PS4 Pro, which supports dynamic 4K gaming and digital 4K entertainment, is now available in the United States and Canada at a suggested retail price of USD $399 and CAD $499 respectively.

PS4 Pro leverages the latest imaging technology by supporting dynamic 4K quality resolution. The upgraded CPU and GPU of PS4 Pro allows developers to create higher-quality games that output dynamic 4K quality graphics, or smoother and more stable frame rates. As with all PlayStation 4 systems, PS4 Pro is also compatible with HDR imaging technology.

The introduction of PS4 Pro, which sits alongside the standard PS4, aims to provide consumers with more choice. Users can play every PS4 game on both PS4 Pro and the standard PS4, which was recently released in a slimmer and lighter model for CAD $379 (MSRP). PlayStation VR is compatible with both systems. PS4 Pro and the standard PS4 will also share the same user interface and have access to the same online community.

For gamers who own an HDTV that does not support either 4K or HDR, PS4 Pro still promises a number of benefits, such as higher or more stable framerates, and enhanced graphics and environments in PS4 Pro enhanced titles.
