If the codename sounds familiar, that is probably no coincidence. Sony previously used names from The Matrix, with the PlayStation 4 Pro codenamed Neo and PlayStation VR codenamed Morpheus.
Trinity had reportedly been in development since early 2022. Although rumours about a cancelled PlayStation 5 Pro project were entertaining to read, sources claimed Trinity was the only Pro model project actually in progress. Even though the available dates were still provisional, PS5 Pro demo events were reportedly already underway, with most studios expected to receive development kits by the end of November 2023.
Exact specifications were difficult to pin down, but sources claimed Trinity would feature 30 WGP and 18000mts memory.
As expected, the console's performance targets focused on improved and more consistent FPS at 4K resolution, a new performance mode for 8K resolution and accelerated ray tracing.
Whether a PlayStation 5 Pro would be welcome in the current market remained to be seen, but at the time of writing the PlayStation 5 Pro was reportedly in full development and targeting a November 2024 release date.
Trinity seemed likely to be PlayStation's final hardware for this generation. After reports covering the DualSense Edge Controller, Project Q and PlayStation's new wireless earbuds, the next major PlayStation hardware report would probably be about PlayStation 6, which was then said to be targeting a 2028 release.
