Our take on the Sony PlayStation 5 Pro Gaming Console
The PlayStation 5 Pro is Sony's mid-generation upgrade to the PS5, built for people who want steadier frame rates and sharper images on a 4K TV. It adds a larger GPU, upgraded ray tracing and AI-driven upscaling (PSSR), and doubles the SSD to 2TB. It plays the same disc-free digital library as the standard PS5 and runs existing games, often with a Pro-enhanced mode. Against the base PS5 it is a clear step up in image quality and smoothness, but the gains are modest on a 1080p screen and it costs noticeably more.
- 2TB SSD holds far more games than the 825GB base model
- PSSR upscaling sharpens image quality in supported titles
- Stronger ray tracing in Pro-enhanced games
- Runs most PS5 games with fewer frame-rate drops
- Plays the full PS5 digital library and PS4 back catalog

Questions and answers
- Is the PS5 Pro worth it over the base PS5?
- If you play on a 4K TV and want steadier frame rates and sharper images, yes. On a 1080p screen the difference is small and the base PS5 is the better value.
- Does the PS5 Pro play discs?
- No. It is a digital-only console; a detachable disc drive is sold separately for physical games and Blu-ray.
- How much storage does it have?
- It has a 2TB SSD, double the base PS5's 825GB, and the M.2 slot can take an extra drive.
- Will my existing PS5 games run on it?
- Yes. It plays the PS5 and PS4 libraries, and many games get a Pro-enhanced mode.
- Do I need a special TV to see the difference?
- A 4K set with 120Hz and VRR shows the most benefit. Older or 1080p TVs see much less.
- What comes in the box?
- The console, one DualSense controller, an HDMI cable and a power cable. A vertical stand is not always included.
