Sony PlayStation 5 Pro Console vs PlayStation 5 Slim Fortnite Bundle

The PS5 Pro is the stronger console: a faster GPU with advanced ray tracing and PSSR upscaling, 2TB of storage, and no disc drive in the box. The Slim is the better value for most people: it plays the same PS5 library, includes a disc drive and a DualSense, and comes with Fortnite extras. Buy the Pro if you have a 4K 120Hz TV and want the sharpest image and highest frame rates. Buy the Slim if you play physically or mostly play Fortnite and free-to-play games.

  • Choose the PS5 Pro if you want the best PS5 image quality on a high-end 4K TV and 2TB of built-in storage.
  • Choose the PS5 Slim Fortnite Bundle if you want a disc drive, a packed-in controller and Fortnite content without paying for Pro-level hardware.

What reviewers say

Sony PlayStation 5 Pro Console

  • 4.7 / 5144 ratings

Owners generally rate the PS5 Pro highly for image quality and storage, but many say the upgrade only pays off on a good 4K display. Cost is the most common complaint.

What people mention
  • Image qualityPraisedOwners say enhanced games look visibly sharper and more stable than on the base PS5.
  • StoragePraisedThe 2TB SSD is widely welcomed, since base PS5 owners often add a drive.
  • NoisePraisedOwners report the console stays quiet during long sessions.
  • SizeMixedSome find it large and awkward to fit in a media cabinet.

PlayStation 5 Slim Fortnite Bundle

  • 4.5 / 54,889 ratings

Owners rate the PS5 Slim highly for its smaller size, quiet operation in digital games, and the value of the bundled Fortnite content. Some complain about the disc drive noise and the lack of a stand, but most find it a solid upgrade.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners appreciate the smaller footprint compared to the original PS5.
  • Disc drive noiseCriticisedSome find the disc drive louder than expected when reading discs.
  • Bundle contentPraisedFortnite players like the exclusive cosmetics and V-Bucks.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a 4K 120Hz TV?
The PS5 Pro. Its larger GPU and PSSR upscaling hold higher frame rates and sharper detail in Pro-patched games. The Slim still runs 4K at up to 120Hz, but with fewer visual upgrades.
Do I need the Pro if I mostly play Fortnite?
No. Fortnite runs well on the Slim, and the bundle adds items and V-Bucks. The Pro helps most in demanding single-player games with Pro patches.
Which has more storage?
The Pro, with a 2TB SSD against the Slim's 1TB. Both accept an M.2 SSD expansion drive if you need more room.
Can the Pro play disc games?
Only with the add-on disc drive, which is sold separately. The Slim bundle includes a disc tray, so physical games work right away.
Is the Pro worth stepping up to?
If you have a good 4K TV and want the best image quality and frame rates, yes. If you play physically or want a smaller console with a controller included, the Slim covers the same library.
Which is smaller?
The Slim, which is about 30% smaller than the original PS5. The Pro is the larger and heavier of the two.

The 1TB SSD is an improvement, but large games still fill it quickly.
