PS5 and Xbox Series X should not receive upgraded versions. The situation is explained by Albert Penello

The arrival of PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X caused quite a stir among players, but on the new generation producers are not to follow this path. Albert Penello is convinced that the power of PS5 and Xbox Series X will last for a long time.


At the end of the year, PS5 and Xbox Series X will debut on the market, but some players are afraid that in 2-3 years we will hear about the PS5 Pro and Xbox Series XL. For many fans of electronic gameplay, improved versions of PS4 and XOne were troublesome, but now we do not have to face this “problem”.

Albert Penello (former executive director of Microsoft) commented on the ResetEra forum about possible improvements for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. In his opinion, this situation “may simply be less needed.” Penello emphasized in his speech that on the current generation we were witnessing the transition from 1080p to 4K thanks to PS4 Pro and XOneX, but In the next 3-4 years, we can’t expect the industry to be ready to jump to the 8K standard. As you know, 4K TVs are still not found in every home, so developers may simply not see the point in developing games in this resolution.

In addition, PS5 Pro and XSeriesXL would have to offer around 20-24 teraflops of computing power, and it is impossible for such equipment to be released in the middle of the next generation. Devices with this potential would simply be too expensive.

A former Microsoft employee sees one more important thing: Game developers can focus on achieving greater fluidity (over 60 fps) and HDR refinement on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, but the consoles shown can already achieve this. All you need is time for the developers to get the right power from next genes.

However, it’s worth remembering that according to Epic Games – the new generation will bring us film quality of the binding. Players however they can’t count on seeing the full potential of both consoles right away.
