The PlayStation Neo is finally here and it's called PlayStation 4 Pro. Sony teased the brand new console just ahead of E3 2016, saying it would come with a faster processor, better graphics and 4K and HDR support.
The PlayStation 4 Pro can output in 4K and HDR thanks to an upgraded processor and graphics chip. This means 1080p games will play at a smooth 60 frames per second. The console will also come with a 1TB hard drive to install games and store media.
In addition to 4K games, the PlayStation 4 Pro will support 4K and HDR content from a variety of streaming services. There will be a new Netflix app for the PlayStation Pro 4 that will highlight 4K and HDR content. YouTube is also working on a PS4 Pro app to feature 4K content.
Strangely, Sony did not mention whether the PS4 Pro would support 4K Blu-ray discs during its hour-long keynote. According to a tweet from Stuff, the PS4 Pro apparently won't support the discs, which is odd since Sony owns the format.
Sony also didn't mention much about PlayStation VR, other than the PS4 Pro would enable more immersive graphics.
The PlayStation 4 Pro will be out November 10th for $399 (€399, £349) and will be going up against Microsoft's to-be-announced Project Scorpio.
