So what do we know so far?
Although we do not yet have a launch date and are still very much in the dark with regards to the details, we do know this:
- 3D artists will have the ability to import 3D models and paint them. They will also be able to preview their 3D designs in Augmented Reality, meaning they will see their models with realistic lighting and shadows.
- There will be menu changes, allowing for greater accessibility from within the app. Tools will be easier to find, use, and adjust, such as the color palette tool which will be visible in both Compact and Card form.
- Audio feedback will be enabled, meaning designers will hear the moves they make with VoiceOver integration.
- Apple also announced its newest iPad Pro releases (in both 12.9" and 11") and the accompanying M1 chip. The M1 chip will come with an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU, which will make for a 50% faster CPU performance and 40% faster graphics performance. Essentially, the M1 chip will boost Procreate's performance by 4x.
Although that is all we are able to tell you now, we will keep you updated the more we learn! We cannot wait to explore Procreate 5.2 and see what our community creates with it.

Hi ! Is there any launch date planned for Procreate 5.2? I haven’t seen any. Applied for the Beta version and I cross fingers to be able to test it asap. Also I want to attend the upcoming streaming event about the 5.2 version, but it seems I haven’t received any link to connect yet (?!). Cheers!
Hey David,
Thanks for getting in touch and it’s great to hear that you are excited about Procreate 5.2. Whilst we do not know the official date for this update, we have been in contact with some of our most popular designers who are preparing their files for this new update as we speak. Hopefully Procreate will let us know the suggested release date in the near future :).
I hope they get brush organization going better, I guess some would want 3D painting, but I’m more interested in basic help, good for Procreate!
Hey Jane,
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback on this Procreate Update. We hope that you find these new upgrades useful and hopefully they can implement some of your requested changes in the future :).
