Sony is determined to upgrade the gaming landscape with a rumored new console.  News recently broke that the developers are eyeing to release the PlayStation 4.5, but information have been limited online.

While it's still not known whether the PS 4.5 will be a whole new console altogether or an upgrade of the current model, sources believe that this newest development has already received the green light.  Kotaku was the first to report on after the Game Developers Conference 2016.

Since the rumors started to circulate, several news sites and tech blogs made their own investigation about the new offering. Eurogamer, another popular gaming site, recently offered its two cents on Sony's latest move claiming that the PS 4.5 could have three different paths.

"The first is a more powerful console with two times the graphical processing power of the CPU that could be priced at $399," IBT noted. "The second is a minor processing upgrade with improvements to graphics to new and older games. Support for 4K with Netflix and other media and an improvement beyond 1080p for games. The third is a 'slim' option with 4K and high dynamic range (HDR) compatibility."

With the release of the PS 4.5, rumors are getting stronger that consoles are slowly adopting how PCs are constantly upgrading their system.  "Instead of a full replacement after several years, there will be a hardware update after two or three years to keep up with other technological advances," IBT continued.

Apart from the PS 4.5, PlayStation fans are also focused on the latest PS4 title "Uncharted 4," slated for a May release, and the PlayStation VR slated for October.  With these newest developments with Sony, gamers can rest assured that consoles are constantly upgraded to meet user's gaming expectations.
