The upcoming PlayStation 4.5 (or PS 4k) is referred to internally as NEO, and thanks to GiantBomb’s sources<\/a><\/strong> the specifications of the improved console are now available.<\/p>\n

The NEO will feature higher base performance than the current PlayStation 4, including higher clock speed, memory bandwidth and graphics processing.<\/p>\n

Although the improved console will be a more powerful version of the PlayStation 4, the hard drive specifications will remain the same.<\/p>\n

Sony has made efforts to keep its user base unified when the new console releases, requiring that every PlayStation 4 game from October 2016<\/strong> releases with a ‘base mode’ mode in addition to a ‘NEO mode’. This will allow users of the current console to enjoy new releases without needing to upgrade their device.<\/p>\n

The NEO will support 4k output across all media, but games are not required to run in 4k resolution.<\/p>\n

The PlayStation 4 and the NEO will use the same PlayStation Store and will both be connected to the PlayStation Network – allowing users to play games together no matter which version of the console they use.<\/p>\n

Although Sony has not mentioned the implications of the newer console for PlayStation VR, the more powerful console should be able to deliver a higher-quality virtual reality experience than the current PlayStation 4<\/p>\n

The NEO’s pricing is estimated at around $399.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below are the specifications of the NEO.<\/strong><\/p>\n
