Despite the PlayStation 5 not even being three years old, rumors have begun circulating about a potential PS5 Pro or PS5 Slim model. Insider Tom Henderson discussed this, noting that the new PS5 model will have a detachable hard drive rather than a full-fledged upgrade, calling it “gen 2” of the current console.
However, this doesn’t mean a PS5 Pro won’t happen. Henderson noted in some more tweets that he’s “not entirely sure” if a Pro version would release in this generation. “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.” What’s more surprising is that he’s heard “more about the PS6 than a PS5 Pro.”
As for whether the new PS5 model will look like the current one, he says that he “thinks so. I don’t think there are any radical changes there, to be honest.” Of course, this isn’t hard confirmation, so keep that in mind.
Sony has yet to confirm the new model’s existence. Henderson previously reported that it would enter production in April and start selling in September. The current PS5 will reportedly stop production at the end of this year. As always, stay tuned for more details and updates.
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.

I was going to make a video, but I have a horrible headache. But yeah, that's what I've heard.
As for if the new PS5 looks like the old one; I think so. I don't think there are any radical changes there tbh.
