# Pro-Grade Gaming Consoles This Sony PlayStation 5 Pro Concept by Latif Ghouali is Liquid Cooled By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2023-03-08 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-playstation-5-pro-concept References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2023/03/07/a-new-sony-playstation-5-pro-could-launch-as-early-as-april-2023-possibly-with-liquid-cooling/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-new-sony-playstation-5-pro-could-launch-as-early-as-april-2023-possibly-with-liquid-cooling)  This [Sony](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-6-concept) [PlayStation 5 Pro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-5-pro-concept) concept has been designed by Latin Ghouali as a piece of gaming hardware that imagines a next-generation experience for gamers. The console is designed as a pro version of the [PS5](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monoblock) that would build on the existing technology and enhance it as something of a mid-cycle update to keep it relevant for gamers. The console boasts a similar design aesthetic, but is equipped with illusory edge lighting for an otherworldly glow. The Sony PlayStation 5 Pro concept maintains a metallic exterior case and matching controller, and likely follows on rumors of a real second-generation console with liquid cooling, advanced graphics and more. The system takes a decidedly more angular form to keep it in line with other gaming hardware presently on the market. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 14% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pro-grade Gaming Consoles:** Opportunity for companies to develop mid-cycle upgrades with enhanced technology and striking design aesthetics. - **Liquid-cooled Gaming Consoles:** Innovative console designs featuring liquid cooling as a means to handle advanced graphics and high-performance gaming. - **Illuminated Gaming Consoles:** Opportunity to explore designs featuring edge lighting to give gaming consoles a distinctive, futuristic look. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gaming Hardware:** Companies can develop innovative gaming consoles with enhanced features and mid-cycle upgrades to keep them relevant. - **Computer Cooling Systems:** Companies can explore advancements in liquid cooling technology to keep gaming consoles cool and functioning optimally. - **Interior Lighting Design:** Opportunity to create futuristic and distinctively illuminated designs that enhance the aesthetics of gaming consoles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [VR-Focused Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-5-pro-concept.md) - [Contoured Gaming Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-5-console-concept.md) - [Angular Next-Gen Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-6-concept.md) - [AI-Driven Video Game Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-playstation-5-pro.md) - [Industrial Next-Gen Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-6-console-concept.md) - [Reservation-Based Gaming Retail Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-5-pros.md) - [Powerful Portable Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-5-handheld-gaming-console.md) - [Minimalist Next-Gen Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-playstation-6-concept.md) - [Software-Enhanced Game Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-5-pro-fsr-4.md)
