Customer Ratings & Reviews

Absolutely blown away by the PS5 Pro! The upgraded performance with 8K resolution support and faster frame rates makes gameplay smoother and more immersive than ever. The new design is sleek and modern, and the expanded storage is a huge win for gamers who love digital download. If you’re looking for a next-level gaming experience, the PS5 Pro is worth every penny!

I game on PC and PS5 and let me tell you the PS5 Pro doesnt dissapoint! It pushes all those games that struggle with fram rate, to a smooth 60fps through and through. To add to the upgrade, it uses AI tech called PSSR to give you a pixel count equal to or even better than 4k. PC will always have the upper hand but to get the same quality im getting with the Pro, i would need to spend $1600+ on a PC equivalent. Nice mid cycle for those new and for those who have upgraded their TVs and Monitors recently.

Honestly after playing my bfs PS5 I decided to finally upgrade myself to the PS5 Pro after holding on to my PS3/PS4 and it does not disappoint. The graphics and load times are definitely better to me, but the regular PS5 is still fine as well. My tv only supports the 1440p/60 fsp/hrz so I can only imagine what the 120 fsp looks like. I think the price is reasonable for the Pro (lowkey not after taxes though because it adds like $50 unless you live in a tax free state). I remember paying like $500 back in the day for the first PS3 so for $200 more dollars to get what the Pro gives, I don’t feel too bad. I do however understand why not having a disc drive or stand included is irritating for the customer, but again for me it is still worth it. Overall, If you have the extra money, I say get the Pro. If you really don’t care that much or have a regular tv that can’t support the high features of the Pro, then stick with the regular. I play games like COD, The Last of Us and Tekken for reference.

So I decided to back up my original PS5 then trade it in to Best Buy for a PS5 Pro. Great trade-in experience! The PS5 Pro does not disappoint. Comes with 2TB of Console storage, thats more than 3x the storage in the PS5. I have an LG C2 which supports 4K 120fps. Played some games and I do see a marginal improvement. Horizon, Call of Duty to name a few. There are select games that are PS5 Pro enhanced, that can balance fidelity and performance up to 120fps. The only con is that there are limited amount of games available that are PS5 Pro enhanced, but there will be more in the near future. $700 is pretty steep, so the choice is up to you. If you are satisfied with your PS5 original or slim and love how the games look, then youll be fine. If you want more out of your games and you are big on tech like me, check out the PS5 Pro!!

Definitely see the upgrade in hardware makes ti loading and processing speeds and quality for gaming. Very happy and will continue to use over PC for most of my gaming.

If you’re getting a ps5 this is the only one to get. It has more storage more power and boy does it look good on a 55 inch LG oled. Games are buttery smooth and look amazing.

After waiting so long to purchase a PS5, I had to go ahead and pick up the PS5 Pro. Everything about the Pro is fantastic. From loading times to performance, I’d say the Pro is pretty much worth it if you don’t already have a PS5 like I did myself. Only criticism I got for the console is that it should have come with a vertical stand AND disc drive. There’s no reason why it shouldn’t have been included.

The PlayStation 5 Pro is not just an incremental update; it is a paradigm shift that redefines console gaming and delivers a truly premium experience. For anyone who views games as an expressive art form—a sentiment I hold deeply—this console is the definitive canvas. Performance and Visuals: Power in the Surreal The centerpiece of the Pro is its astonishing jump in graphical fidelity. Playing titles optimized for the Pro is transformative. The implementation of hardware-accelerated ray tracing is flawless, rendering lighting, reflections, and shadows with an uncanny, almost hyper-real precision. Games running in native 4K at a consistent 60 FPS, or the new optional 8K mode for cinematic titles, look simply breathtaking. The new PlayStation Spectral Upscaling (PSSU) technology is the secret weapon here. It delivers sharpness and detail that genuinely rival native resolution, eliminating the distracting artifacts often seen in lesser upscalers. In fast-paced action games, the increased consistency in frame rates ensures a silky-smooth, responsive experience that drastically reduces input lag. Design and User Experience The industrial design retains the bold, futuristic aesthetic of the original PS5 but refines it. The Pro model is noticeably quieter and boasts a more efficient cooling system—a critical improvement for prolonged gaming sessions. The DualSense Pro Controller features customizable paddles and enhanced haptic actuators, adding new layers of immersion that feel tailored and precise. Verdict: Essential Upgrade The PS5 Pro successfully manages to future-proof the console ecosystem. It elevates existing titles to new heights and provides developers with the substantial horsepower needed to create the next generation of truly immersive, visually complex worlds. If you demand the absolute best performance, view gaming as a pursuit of the highest graphical and artistic fidelity, and want a machine built for the next half-decade, the PlayStation 5 Pro is an essential, high-value investment.

It's quiet, has sufficient disk space, and it's better to play Fortnite with a mouse and keyboard.

Good console for someone who’d want PC level fidelity on the PS platform, the resolution and performance bump on games optimized for pro is extremely noticeable and it is nice to finally play games at 60fps without graphical compromise anymore like upscaling from 720p. PSSR is very close to DLSS although it still needs a little bit more time but for being a new upscaling technology it’s impressively already almost at DLSS level. The games that ran at 120hz on base PS5 now look better with the extra gpu power. PS5 pro is a preview of what PS6 will be like. Console is extremely attractive and light weighing in at 6 pounds, a big advantage over the OG model I have.

Definitely a step up from the regular PS5. Load times are a bit faster, graphics look and flow a lot smoother, frames hold and present every detail. Not even mentioning the storage space. Some may say they barely notice (also probably depends on the TV & HMDI cable) but I’ve definitely felt the difference after playing on it for over 2 months now. Hopped on my digital edition and felt a surreal difference in speed/resolution. If you have a PS5 to trade in, the pro is worth the purchase.

Overall I am amazed. Coming from a ps5. I can honestly tell a difference in almost every game in every aspect. Some games more than others. Definitely in the finer details if you care for that. Only downside I have had so far. (To be fair had it on the ps5 too) where the LAN cable will randomly say it’s disconnected when it isn’t. Sometimes it won’t ever do it and others it’ll do it so much you’ll want a PC. Not just a ps5 pro issue to be fair though. I just hoped it would have been fixed by now with a pro model. (Definitely a software issue. Not hardware issue).

The PS5 Pro takes gaming to a whole new level. The upgraded performance is instantly noticeable — smoother frame rates, faster load times, and stunning 4K visuals that truly immerse you in the game. Whether you’re into fast-paced shooters or cinematic adventures, this console delivers power and beauty with ease. Definitely a must-have for serious gamers!

Is Sony's PlayStation 5 Pro really worth the $700 plus tax price tag, they're asking for it all comes down to the individual what you're looking for. And if you want the best of the best or just a PlayStation 5 Slim I picked up my PlayStation 5 Pro yesterday. I started playing The Last of Us remastered and I got to say with the PlayStation 4 Graphics enhancement. You see a noticeable difference, but it's not night and day. I tried Horizon forbidden West which has a PlayStation 5 Pro patch and the difference was breathtaking as a gamer on the original PlayStation 5. You can really tell the difference between the pro and the regular PS5 and again, it's not a night and day difference. Probably and it would be the only negative I can say about the PlayStation 5 Pro is the fact that at the $700 price point is being offered. There isn't really that many PlayStation 5 titles and I'm talking about across the board in every model that could take advantage of pssr. But Mark Cerny did say they are committed to making the PlayStation 5 Pro a gaming beast and they will release more games to sum up my review. Do I recommend the PlayStation 5 Pro over the slim? I definitely do recommend it. I returned a PlayStation 5 Slim with overheating issues the PlayStation 5 pro has been amazing and I can't wait what the company offers for it in the future and how simple it's going to be for developers to make more games for us hardcore Gamers to enjoy.

I have an oled tv with a 120hz refresh rate and i have to say, going from base ps5 on a 4k 60hz monitor to this is a very noticeable leap however i can not recommend the pro if you dont have a display that can let the console flex. The 2 terabytes of storage are also great and while the pro enhanced versions of games can at times be a little off, id say overall the experiences have been sharper and smoother than ever. First party games like spider man, last of us or god of war look exceptional but even some games with unofficial support whether they be ps4 or ps5 games all just seem to run a bit better and even more so if the game has vrr options. If the rumor of the ps6 being delayed ends up true then i think that makes the ps5 pro a bit more enticing for anyone who wants to play games on console with the highest fidelity possible and i imagine this will be even more true when gta6 comes out. After one year id say i enjoy the ps5 pro more than i did the ps4 pro back when it released. I only wish it came with a pro controller instead of the basic stock duelsense.

Merging quality and performance is amazing, but the added ray tracing, and pssr are the sure winners with this upgrade. Adding AI brings already beautiful games to life especially with the depth of field. Not a fan of disc drive and stand being sold separately but great for those who doesn’t own physical copies.

PS5 Pro Review: A Powerful Leap with Sharper Ray Tracing Performance The PS5 Pro builds on the solid foundation of the original PlayStation 5, delivering a noticeable performance boost that benefits both casual players and tech-savvy gamers. One of its standout upgrades is the enhanced ray tracing capability, which brings richer, more dynamic lighting and reflections to supported games. Titles that previously struggled with performance in ray-traced modes now run smoother, with more stable frame rates and higher resolution visuals. Load times remain lightning-fast thanks to the custom SSD, and the overall UI experience is just as snappy. While it doesn’t reinvent the console experience, the PS5 Pro is a meaningful upgrade for those who crave better graphics fidelity and future-proofed hardware. It’s especially worthwhile for players with 4K displays looking to get the most out of next-gen visuals.

I love the PS5 Pro. Playing games @ 120fps 4k is AMAZING! This IS gaming. I really enjoy the better graphics through the improved CPU/GPU performance. I was also surprised and enjoy the fact that they gave the operating system a dedicated 2GB of RAM so the the other RAM can be allocated specifically for gaming. I didn't care for the fact that the system did NOT come with a disk reader however it's the best console I own. I also moded the case bringing more cool air into the system as well as a cooler on the back with 3 fans and a stand that exerts air from the bottom as well. Also, included a USB hub on the front for more connections and a NACON controller which I swear by and LOVE. Great machine. After months of having it, I can say the extra money for the PRO edition IS worth the extra money. Thank you Best Buy for making it all possible!

I haven’t been to Best Buy in quite some time but man was I pleased! I forgot how awesome it is being in there with all the cool tech. I really enjoyed my experience and the staff I interacted with were also friendly and efficient with what I needed. Happy to share my experience! As for the product itself, it has been performing exactly as it should! It’s been fun playing on a console after I’ve been so used to PC gaming these last 5+ years. The product is wonderful and the controller is super cool too. I may need to buy more controllers based on if some friends that I see want to play multi player games. Overall, the product has been lovely. Happy with my decision!

This system is awesome, hands down! A nice step-up over the original ps5. Enchanced games perform much better using Playstation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), and the 2TB storage upgrade over the base Ps5 is one of the main reasons I upgraded to this system. SSD storage is not cheap these days. If you have a TV (display) that's 120hz or higher, 2.1 HDMI, VRR and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) then this system is for anyone looking to get better gaming performance on Playstation. Im definitely enjoying mine!
