The PlayStation 5 Pro (PS5 Pro) is set to launch on November 7, 2024.

The PS5 Pro will be priced at £699.99/$699.99. Pre-orders for the console have been open, with widespread availability at participating retailers and directly from PlayStation.

The PS5 Pro boasts an enhanced GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI-optimized upscaling among its improvements. It includes a 2TB SSD, comes with a DualSense wireless controller, and has Astro’s Playroom pre-installed. Notably, it’s designed as a disc-less console, with an option to purchase a separate disc drive.

The design maintains the visual language of the PS5 family but with internal enhancements for performance. It’s compatible with existing PS5 accessories like PlayStation VR2, PlayStation Portal, and others.

Several games are confirmed to receive updates for PS5 Pro’s enhanced features, including titles like “Alan Wake 2,” “Assassin’s Creed: Shadows,” and “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2,” among others.

Sony positions the PS5 Pro not just as an upgrade for existing PlayStation users but also appealing to new users, emphasizing its power and performance enhancements over the standard PS5.

There’s significant buzz around the PS5 Pro, with an unboxing video leaked by a German retailer, showcasing the console before its official launch, indicating high anticipation and stock readiness among retailers.

From posts on platforms like X, there’s a mix of excitement for the performance leap the PS5 Pro promises, concerns about its price point, and discussions on how it stacks against high-end gaming PCs and other consoles like the Xbox Series X.

This launch represents Sony’s strategy to keep the PlayStation at the forefront of console gaming technology with a mid-generation refresh, focusing on performance improvements that could potentially redefine gaming experiences with better graphics and faster loading times due to enhanced hardware capabilities.
