The highly anticipated PS5 Pro has officially been announced and is set to launch on November 7 for $700. This upgraded console promises enhanced performance, allowing gamers to experience PS5 titles—and some PS4 games—in stunning 4K resolution at 60fps. With the PS5 Pro, players can enjoy the visual fidelity of high-quality mode alongside the smooth gameplay associated with performance mode.
Unlike previous versions, the PS5 Pro is solely digital but will support a separate $80 disc drive attachment released last year. For those who prefer a vertical setup, an optional stand is available for $30. When factoring in these accessories, the total would reach approximately $820, plus local taxes.
Preorders for the PS5 Pro will begin on September 26 through select retailers, with major chains starting on October 10. The new console boasts a larger GPU, making it 45% faster in rendering. It also supports cutting-edge visual technologies like AI-driven upscaling and advanced ray tracing, alongside a generous 2TB SSD—double the storage of the PS5 Slim models.
The refined design includes wider side panels and comes with a standard DualSense 5 controller. Additional controllers are available for $75 to $80, reflecting a recent price increase. With its expansive storage capacity, the PS5 Pro is positioned to be a desirable addition for gamers looking to elevate their gaming experience.
