Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve owned the PS5 Pro for about 6 months. So far it’s working great. I also have an Xbox Series X. The graphics seem to be about the same but for my surround sound set up the PS5 sounds a little better. One of my favorite things is that you can access Apple Music and listen to your playlists while playing a game.

I 100% notice a difference. Yeah it's kinda pricey but it's what I wanted. I am also a video/screen nerd. The PS5 pro paired with my OLED LG 42in C2 for gaming is really awesome. I do feel like I am getting graphical capabilities from a mid level gaming PC on this console. It really depends on how you view this upgrade and if you have always only been on console. Console is all I've known and the PS5 pro has met my expectations. The only thing I WILL SAY is that it really depends on the TV/Monitor that you are using. If you have a generic 4k led tv capped at 60hz you are for sure missing out. OLED is king my friends. 4K/VRR/120 FPS/Extremely Fast Response Time/Infinite contrast and true blacks. Makes a big difference

It does what Sony said it would do. The price is pretty reasonable for what you get - an actual 4k/60 capable machine. However, if you're willing and able to spend more for this console over the regular PS5, you're probably also willing and able to spend twice as much on a PC with a bit better performance along with all the extra flexibility and utility (and yes, the occasional technical difficulties/annoyances that you're probably capable of dealing with). With that in mind, I really think the Pro only makes sense for the die-hard PlayStation fans and serious gamers out there whose entire game libraries and group of friends are committed to the platform, and don't care about having options beyond what Sony offers. More casual users won't even notice or care about the upgrades from the base PS5. Outside of that, with more "platform exclusives" now coming to PC after a year or two, cross-play becoming more common, and the modernization of Steam and Windows for supporting console-style gaming, there are far less barriers keeping you trapped on the platform than there were in previous generations. For me, having a history on both platforms, I've come to feel that the progress made combined with the wealth of options offered by PCs outweigh the history I have with PlayStation. I've decided that my old base PS5 will be good enough for gaming with my PS5 friends, and I'm planning on returning this Pro and moving back to PC for the future.

I suppose it’s just in time for all these new games that are coming. I can’t get enough of my Pro. Fast, beautiful graphics and the best is yet to come.

Honestly Sony does this thing where they take an already good product and somehow make it even better and sleeker than it was already, if you are a gamer then you already know the deal, take the pro over the regular p5 any day, if you aren’t then you should know that yes the price point honestly is kind of crazy, if you’re okay with that then you’re getting a PlayStation 5 with upgraded hardware over the base model, you have to buy the disk drive if you still use physical discs separately but if none of this bothers you then go for it!

Excellent graphics compared to the PS3 or PS4. Speed is wicked fast.

I purchased a PS5 from Best Buy just before Christmas, and the entire experience was outstanding. The PS5 itself is incredible with lightning fast load times, stunning graphics, and an overall next level gaming experience that truly lives up to the hype. On top of that, the service at Best Buy was excellent. The staff was knowledgeable, efficient, and made the purchase process smooth and stress free during a busy holiday season. Great product, great service, and a purchase I am very happy with.

works great, death stranding2 run smooth on it. no noisy, graphic is great. like the new controller

I love it. I had the original PS5 and this upgrade was well worth it. The upgrade in graphics and storage. Definitely worth it.

As you know Sonys latest hardware the PS5 pro! $699.99 and no disc drive that will be another $79.99 and to securely stand it up you guessed it another $29.99. If you play on a large screen TV and sit a normal distance away you are barely going to be able to tell what the Pro enhancements were. Better suited for smaller TVs and closer range of sitting to really get the benefits. I will be returning this and just buying a slim save money for the inevitable PS6!

It runs faster and quieter than the PS5. It also has better image quality.

Worth the extra 200 for the storage alone i have already played with this for a few months and it has been a beast at runing anything i want on it

Going from a PlayStation 4 pro to a PlayStation 5 Pro was a night and day difference in graphical fidelity, performance and color depth! Playing my old purchased games in my PlayStation library and seeing the performance difference is unreal!!! Love everything about it so far.

Absolutely love my PS5 Pro! The faster performance, stunning graphics, and smooth gameplay make a huge difference. Load times are almost nonexistent, and Wi-Fi 7 ensures seamless online play. Worth every penny—highly recommend!

PS5 is now the de facto place to play modern console games. PS5 Pro should be a lot better than it is, but it's still good. For the extra cost you get: a lot of ambiguity in your games about what performance and visual modes you're getting, and sometimes actually worse image quality. If you really think you can tell PSSR from FSR and upscaled 1600p vs upscaled 1400p, then great. At the end of the day, you'll honestly forget which model is sitting under your TV.

Really amazing visual and performance boost even for games not optimized like old PS4 games with stable frame rates. The only shame is that the console doesn't support a higher frame rate even it has the power to do so as it's capped at 120Hz because of industry standards/limitations in the TV market space.

I bought this because i sold my Ps5 for a good amount and it was a no brainer to get the Pro. I do notice an improvement in graphics and faster UI menu navigation even while playing games. My PS5 was a bit sluggish on the menus, this Pro is not like that. I hope to see developers utilize the PS5 Pro more. One negative for me is that the inputs like HDMI, and USB seem to wiggle and are a bit loose. I noticed this when plugging in the connections and it was a bit concerning and made me question the longevity of the system. The very lacking packaging and without a vertical stand made me frown. Something seems off with how this PS5 Pro was presented by Sony, no Edge controller, just the OG ps5 one, no proprietary UI enhancements, just the regular ps5 menus, no PS5 Pro icon near your avatar, just the PS5 one. Nothing really screams out "look at me, i'm the PS5 Pro" and it kinda makes me feel like "why is this being sold?". Sony is really missing the opportunity to sell, attract, and retain their player base with the lacking effort here. Im not trying to sound picky but the fact is that even simple products like Gillette razors are marketed, advertised, and packaged eloquently, with awesome visual representations. The higher tier razors get better looks, better accessories, and better packaging. Those products are boasted and praised by the company and it doesn't just show in social media advertising , it shows by whats actually supplied and integrated into the products themselves so that the consumer feels like they're really using something great. Sony, you're not new to the consumer market, don't fall short on connecting with your customer base by not showcasing the benefits of this PS5 Pro, which is the top of the line console to date. Customers want to feel like they are valued and also that the product they purchased has value. Its not just about the technology, processor, plastic, in the box that matters, its also the unique and distinctive aspects that make your products stand out from the rest.! Don't get me wrong, i enjoy the PS5 Pro, its not a bad product, but i am going to call out what is blatantly obvious. Do better because you are better Sony!

Works great and is fast. Only bad thing I've noticed is that ever since I switched over to the pro, Borderlands 4 has been crashing almost everyday. I've reinstalled the game and cleared the cache but it continues to crash.

Play station user for years, overall way better than the normal PS5 by far. Storage capacity big time changer.

Love it better graphics better storage and good console to use
