Sony PlayStation 5 Pro Console vs Sony PS5 Digital Edition Console

The PS5 Pro is the stronger console: a faster GPU with advanced ray tracing and PSSR upscaling, 2TB of storage, and a disc drive that attaches separately. The Digital Edition is the original PS5 design with 825GB to 1TB of storage and no disc drive at all. Reviewers and owners praise the Pro's image quality on 4K TVs and its steadier frame rates, but many say the jump over the base PS5 is modest for the outlay. Buy the Pro if you have a good 4K display and want the best PlayStation performance; buy the Digital Edition if you mostly play downloaded games and want the essentials.

• Choose the PlayStation 5 Pro if you have a 4K TV with good HDR and want the sharpest image, the most stable frame rates and room for a large game library.
• Choose the PS5 Digital Edition if you buy games digitally, play on a 1080p or modest 4K set, and want the core PS5 experience without paying for hardware you won't use.
