Customer Ratings & Reviews

Upgraded from the PS5 and with a number of patches out already there is noticeable improvement. The ML model for PLSS should be improving with continued iterations, so hopefully even some games held back by the limitations of the nacent software upgrades will be better with time. Spiderman with performance pro, both the 1 remaster and 2, looks great. Alan Wake 2 shows significant improvement even if full implimentation is not complete. If youre already in the market for a PS5 this is a great choice. May not be worth the upgrade if you already own one, so consider your overall setup before handing over the extra $200. Disc drives are currently somewhat elusive so if your primary collection is physical this may not be for you until disc drives are more readily available. 2tb of storage goes pretty far, though.

What can i say about Sony’s PlayStation? You’re probably looking at it because you’ve heard about its power and prowess as a creative hardware juggernaut. I can attest that it delivers 100% what you need in a gaming console. From the dualsense controller to the quick loading time, you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve been using the PS5 Pro for a few weeks now, and honestly, it’s been such a game-changer. The graphics are insane—everything looks so smooth and detailed, especially in 4K. Plus, the load times are super fast. I’m talking a few seconds, and you’re already playing. The controller is probably my favorite part. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers really make you feel like you’re part of the game. It’s such a cool experience, especially in games designed to use those features. The console itself looks sleek, but heads up—it’s pretty big, so make sure you have room for it. It’s super quiet, though, even when you’re playing for hours, which I love. I also like that it’s backward compatible with a lot of PS4 games, so I didn’t have to give up my old favorites. Overall, it’s pricey, but I think it’s worth it. If you’re into gaming, this thing will blow you away

best console onthe market great graphics and resolution a lil pricy but worth the value some u getting more storage and better video quality

Its definitely not for everybody but if you want to get the best performance possible out of ps5 games its a must buy. The higher frame rates at higher resolution are definitely noticeable compared to the base ps5. The addition of PSSR upscaling is really a game changer allowing games to run higher frame rates at 4k quality resolution.

Good machine that looks 10x better than the original PS5. Games run smoother and a lot of games are upscaled to higher resolution.

Coming from a Xbox Series X My girlfriend bought me the PlayStation Pro for Christmas Not wanting to disappoint her I started to get a feel for it. Here are my remarks after playing on it for almost a month (keep in mind that I have an LG 4K Oled 120hz TV) I’m a very FPS (First Person Shooter) gamer I play games such as Battlefield 6, Call of Duty, and The Finals to say the least. I’ve noticed that I’m getting more consistent high-framerates on the PlayStation Pro than the Xbox Series X (mind you I have the galaxy 2Tb edition too) The PlayStation also has some PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) basically is AI powered to make imagines look better, very similar to AMD’s FSR Well that is expected to receive a major update soon (January - March) I myself am really excited to see what they have to make gaming more immersive….speaking about immersive, the PlayStation controller itself is a whole other can of worms. For instance, in Battlefield 6 you can feel your character’s footsteps! Walking, running, sliding and even vaulting over obstacles. And of course shooting, each gun has their own signature feedback. I personally thought this feature was strictly for PlayStation games but it seems like game developers are taking advantage of the controller’s potential. Final thoughts. I really found myself reaching for the PlayStation more than my Xbox…yeah I know the Xbox has a lot of games (all of my library is on there) But regardless the game son the PlayStation is so much better, can’t express how much of a literal game changer it is….pun intended. I would really recommend it!

Love this! Looks so sleek and its smaller than the regular which honestly i like. Consoles have gotten too big. Runs really well too

The PS5 Pro is an excellent console that can play all the latest and greatest games with no issues. I don’t like fiddling around with settings on PC so getting this was worth it to just sit down and play games with no issues. Also the included 2TBs of space is more than enough storage to have a good variety of games to play whenever I want.

I haven't found any drawbacks yet -- still agree with most that the disc drive should have been included on this console -- 99% of my library is on physical media so this was the biggest negative for me -- I have to have it so now I have a roaring loud behemoth on the side of my console compared to my original PS5 which could spin discs whisper silent -- most of the time you wouldnt even know when it was. The only thing that made the purchase worth it was trading in one of my old consoles to lower the price on top of the holiday sale. Thanks for that at least Best Buy

The ps5 pro is a beast, I have not had any issues running any games on this. Adding a SSD is a must in my opinion, once adding 4TB I now have 6 TB total

PS5 pro optimized games are amazing. Works great for racing games with high FPS. Good for casual fun games and serious simulations alike! Ray tracing is amazing. No lags at all.

It's worth it. You may not think upgrading from the PS5 to the pro is worth it, but it's worth it. Almost all major titles run better, even if there is no noticeable visual improvement, almost every game runs better frame rate wise!

It's really impressive, comparing with the original PS5. Better graphics and loading times, and so much more storage.

There's a lot of hate surrounding this device. Most of it is unfounded. The price point is high, and the tangible stuff you get doesn't seem like its worth it. No disc drive, no upright stand, the horizontal feet are kind of cheap looking. Sony also missed the chance to have something major drop built for the PS5 Pro that would showcase its power. There that's the negatives out of the way. The games I've played have had varying amounts of improvements. The one thing I have to say about the games with enhancements. Think of a hamburger. If you add salt and pepper.. you enhanced it. But its still not a steak. If you keep that in mind you'll be a happier person. Each game is very different in the amount of improvements. FC25 the lighting, gameplay and subtle details to players is a very noticeable improvement, Spider-Man Remastered... looks and plays amazing! Its more in line with the PC in the ray tracing and frame rate (in line not better than max settings don't at me) Call of Duty stable 120 frame rate, butter smooth.. there are others not so noticeable Dragon Age frame rate is definitely better but visuals are about the same. First Descendant the same. Stellar Blade VAST improvements. I could go on but you get the idea. Milage for each game will vary. That bein said, as more games come out built with the PS5 Pro in mind we should see a big uptick in improvements. Should you buy? IMO if you have an old PlayStation 5 or are in the market to get one, this would be the one to choose. If you have a slim or the Sony anniversary edition, I wouldn't make a special purchase right now, maybe wait for a sale. Of course its your money do what you like, just go into it with the right expectations and you'll be happier. I don't regret it and I'm enjoying it.

Great console i absolutely love it. Very powerful and amazing graphics. Love the 2tb hard drive.

This console is not for everyone. But for those who have the money, a premium tv set, and want the best of the best that’s currently available - then this console is the one to get. I already had a PS5 but I always get the Pro consoles for the living room. If ray tracing and better frame rates is something you notice and you don’t want to compromise how you play, then I recommend the console. You do have to get the disc drive separately but that’s going to be the new norm. The extra 1.2 gigs of console storage, the addition of PSSR, having the CPU overclocked, and having WiFi 7 is worth the price difference for me but the regular PS5 is just fine for the everyday gamer.

Using the PS5 Pro has been a noticeably improved experience compared to the regular PS5 I owned. One of the first things I appreciated was the larger storage capacity. Having more built-in storage means I don’t have to constantly delete games to make room for new ones, which is a huge quality-of-life upgrade. I can keep multiple large titles installed at the same time without worrying about space. The graphics performance is another standout feature. Games look sharper, more detailed, and smoother overall. Lighting, textures, and frame rates feel more consistent, especially in graphically demanding games. The visual upgrade makes gameplay more immersive and noticeably enhances both single-player and multiplayer experiences. I also really like the faster loading times. Games boot up quickly and switching between menus feels seamless. This makes a big difference in how fluid the gaming experience feels and keeps me focused on playing rather than waiting. Lastly, the profile system is clean and easy to use. Managing my account, tracking trophies, and switching between users feels intuitive. Everything is well organized, and it’s easy to personalize my profile and access game data. Overall, my experience with the PS5 Pro has been very positive. The improved storage, graphics, speed, and user profile features all combine to create a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience. It feels like a premium console that delivers meaningful upgrades where they matter most.

Best Buy had a nice trade-in offer going on so I decided to treat myself and make the upgrade from the original PS5 to the PS5 Pro! The additional storage is a huge convenience and I feel better knowing my console gaming experience is future-proofed with improved computing power. The difference in how the Pro runs vs the original console is maybe not noticeable enough to warrant the price difference, but maybe it would be if I was playing on a higher res/framerate monitor. I guess that will be my next buy :) Very happy with my purchase overall!

So far I am loving the power of this PS5 Pro! Enhanced graphics and faster load times are amazing!
