Some video game industry analysts believe that Sony is testing the waters with its $699 PS5 Pro before launching the PlayStation 6.

Back in March, Nixxes’ PC conversion of Horizon Forbidden West provided a gorgeous and silky smooth experience for those lucky enough to own one of the best gaming laptops. The porting specialists then followed that up in May with the best PS5 port I’ve ever seen in Ghost of Tsushima.

This isn't the first Sony has used the intoxicating power of nostalgia to tempt its customers to part with their hard-earned cash; a decade ago it released a 20th-anniversary variant of the PS4, again resplendent in PS1 clothing.
