Well-known Insider, Tom Henderson disputes what is said from time to time that Sony is planning to release a PS5 Pro. According to him, there is no reason to do this, as the developers have not yet utilized the full power of the existing version. The same applies to a Slim version and at the same time he mentions that he has heard more about the PS6. He believes that what Sony is preparing is something like a second generation for the existing PS5, the production of which he believes will stop until the end of 2023. Finally, he claims that in April the production of the new model will begin – presumably the rumored one with a detachable optical disc- with sales starting in September.
As for if there’s going to be a Pro version this generation, I’m not entirely sure. It doesn’t feel like the regular version has been fully utilized yet and probably won’t be on mass until the end of the year. All I can say is that I’ve heard more about the PS6 than a PS5 Pro.

On all the PS5 Pro/Slim rumors – I don’t think it’s a pro or slim, My understanding is that it’s just “gen 2” of the regular PS5.
The normal PS5 will cease production at the end of this year and the new model will start in April and begin selling in September.
