Important Caveat

The specific detail of "nearly 4 hours of PS5 Pro 4K/60fps footage on YouTube on July 6" does not appear in any documented leak covered by reliable gaming press. If such footage exists, it may have appeared later or refer to unofficial compilation/re-upload channels. The widely reported pre-launch leak remains the 30-minute Bilibili upload from late June.
