The PS5 Pro has a secret update that Sony hasn’t told PlayStation fans about

It looks like the PS5 Pro has a secret update that Sony didn’t let PlayStation fans know about. The new PlayStation 5 Pro console will not be released to the public before November 7. However, by this time the console is already in the wild. Not only did Sony send the console to select media and influencers early, but some retailers also missed the date, allowing average consumers — unfettered by embargoes and non-distribution agreements — to get their hands on the new premium machine for $700. and discover new details about him.

For this purpose further Reddit the PS5 Pro has been found to have an update that PlayStation didn’t advertise, probably because it’s all technical jargon to the average consumer, but it’s a significant upgrade for hardcore enthusiasts, especially those concerned about the console’s long-term future.

In particular, the PS5 Pro has been found to have what appears to be a CMOS battery access slot. And it’s great for system preservation, as the CMOS battery of every PS5 Pro eventually dies, and now when it does, the battery can simply be replaced.

Without getting into technical details, the CMOS battery is an essential part of the console’s operation, powering the chip inside that stores things like hardware settings, date and time.

The shelf life of these CMOS batteries is not entirely clear, but they are a ticking time bomb. They will eventually go away and this will be a problem for many consoles, but not for the PS5 Pro if it’s easy to replace.

“F***** great. They really listened. Amazing shit,” wrote one PlayStation fan on Reddit about the news. “On time! Hopefully PlayStation 6 will follow suit,” added another comment.

This option hasn’t been around since the days of the Wii and Wii U, however, as more countries crack down — through legislation — on electronics that can’t be repaired, we may see this option in the future. However, this is not often the case now. From that point of view, it’s not an option for the standard PS5.
