It looks like the PS5 Pro will get a little bit more of an upgrade than expected, as some newly leaked official specs have confirmed several new details about the new console, including adding more RAM. 

The info comes from Brazilian content creator Brunno Fast (via vitorpsarts) where a picture of the manual where the PS5 specs are listed has been shared.

Mind you, this isn’t the full breakdown of everything packed inside the PS5 Pro, but it does list most of the main components, such as CPU, GPU, and system memory. Which, speaking of memory, it looks like the PS5 Pro will have an additional 2GB of RAM, which comes in the form of DDR5. This is in addition to the 16GB DDR6 of memory that the base PS5 already ships with. That may not seem like much, and despite not knowing exactly how that memory is allocated, it may be safe to assume that the additional DDR5 RAM, though assumedly slower than the DDR6 the PS5 has, likely is fast enough to run the PS5’s operating system. If that’s the case, then that means that developers will now have an additional 2GB of DDR6 RAM to use in their titles on the PS5 that they can allocate between the CPU and GPU given its unified memory.  

More VRAM could mean better visuals on the GPU side of things, whereas more RAM could mean better performance when allocating memory to the CPU. Though with the additional 8K support, PSSR upscaling, and early RDNA 4 ray-tracing tech, chances are the extra DDR6 memory will be used to run such features. 

The PS5 Pro launches this week on November 7.
