Performance Improvements on Pro Version

PS5 Pro itself will improve the performance of games previously released on PS4 and the team at Sony learned a lot from the previous generation Pro console about how many players bought the Pro version, including those who were new to PlayStation and had the Pro version rather than the regular version.

We’ve built Pro on previous generation consoles. We learned a lot from there. When we sold PS4 Pro, apart from PS4, 20% of players actually bought PS4 Pro.
