Our Take
The PlayStation 5 Pro is Sony's mid-generation hardware refresh, targeting enthusiasts who want noticeably better performance without waiting for a full next-generation console. Sitting above the standard PS5 in both price and capability, its 2TB internal SSD makes it the higher-capacity model in the PS5 range, aimed at serious players with large game libraries.
Key Features
Enhanced GPU with roughly 45% more compute units than the standard PS5, delivering improved frame rates and resolution
PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling technology for sharper image quality at high resolutions
2TB internal NVMe SSD storage, doubling the usable space of the base PS5's effective capacity
Supports up to 8K output and 120fps gameplay at 4K on compatible titles
Wi-Fi 7 support for faster, lower-latency wireless connectivity
Fully backwards compatible with PS4 games and the existing PS5 library
Our Verdict
Buy the PS5 Pro if you're a new entrant to PS5 or a dedicated enthusiast who genuinely cares about the best possible visual performance and has the budget to match. If you already own a standard PS5 and game casually, the upgrade is difficult to justify on cost alone.
