Sony PlayStation 5 Console vs Sony PlayStation 5 Pro Console

Buy the PS5 Pro if you want the strongest PS5 hardware and the most built-in storage, with a 2TB drive and the upgraded GPU that Sony built for higher and steadier frame rates. Buy the standard PS5 if you mainly want the full PS5 library at the lowest entry point and are fine adding your own NVMe drive later. Both play the same games and use the same DualSense controller, so the gap is performance and storage, not compatibility. Owners praise the DualSense haptics on both; the Pro draws more power and runs larger, while the standard model is the quieter value pick.

• Choose the standard PS5 if you want the full PS5 experience, a disc drive for physical games and Blu-ray, and you can add your own NVMe SSD for more storage.
• Choose the PS5 Pro if you want the most powerful PS5, 2TB of built-in storage, and better frame rates in demanding games without buying an add-on drive.
