According to recent job offers, Sony would be in the process of hiring engineers for the PlayStation 5 Pro, the new next-gen console model, which according to some rumors could arrive in 2024. The rumors regarding a new model were also fueled by a sentence about the “development of multiple generations of PlayStation consoles“.
Following the closure of the site that produced customizable faceplates for PS5, Sony seems to be working on a new console model, much more powerful and performing, which could also support 8K resolution. This possibility is given precisely by the job search, as underlined by the official description:
This is a unique, high-level position at the heart of PlayStation’s GPU technology. Among your colleagues at ATG will be the engineers who develop the rendering and ray tracing libraries, the GPU tools, shader compiler and the architects of multiple generations of PlayStation consoles.
This last sentence it seems to confirm that the company is working on a more powerful version of its console, although for many users the phrase itself may have been misinterpreted. In fact, if viewed from a different point of view, it could almost be understood that the person in question would find himself working with shader compiler and architecture managers who have worked on past generations of PlayStation consoles.

It seems then that Sony’s announcement of a new PlayStation 5 Pro console is not on the horizon, although the company is currently looking for new staff to hire. The announcement is still available at this link, underlining how it is really from the company and not just a rumor.
However it could be a job offer determined to improve the PlayStation 5 console, rather than creating a new version that is more powerful than the one already on the market. Regarding the future of the gaming industry itself, Jim Ryan himself expressed his thoughts, reported in a recent interview.
