Sony is set to reveal its upgraded PlayStation 4 console – codenamed “Neo” – on 7 September, according to a report from French gaming website Gameblog.
Additionally, various sources at Vice have confirmed that the new console will be unveiled in September.
According to leaked specifications of the next-generation device, the PlayStation Neo will be at least twice as powerful as the current PlayStation 4, and will be able to easily reach 60FPS at 1080p in modern games.
All PlayStation 4 games will be compatible with the new device and vice versa, with the PlayStation Neo becoming a sort of PlayStation 4.5, despite featuring hardware far more powerful than the original console.
Speaking to the Financial Times, Sony stated that the Neo is intended to “sit alongside and complement the original PlayStation 4”.
