Customer Ratings & Reviews

Just got my hands on the PlayStation 5 pro, and I have to say — the experience has been absolutely fantastic from the moment I unboxed it. Sony really outdid themselves with this one. First off, the design is sleek and futuristic. It looks like a piece of high-tech art sitting in my living room. Setup was simple and fast — within minutes I was diving into the next generation of gaming. The performance? Unreal. Games load incredibly fast thanks to the lightning-speed SSD. I’m talking seconds. No more waiting around — just straight into the action. The graphics are on another level: crisp 4K resolution, smooth frame rates, and ray tracing that makes every detail pop like never before. The DualSense controller deserves a special shoutout. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers are total game changers. You actually feel what’s happening in the game — whether it’s the tension of pulling back a bow or the rumble of driving over rough terrain. It’s immersive in a way I didn’t know I needed until I tried it. Plus, the exclusive games like Demon’s Souls, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Spider-Man: Miles Morales show off exactly what this system is capable of. Stunning visuals, smooth gameplay, and that next-gen wow factor. Overall, buying the PS5 was one of the best decisions I’ve made as a gamer. It’s powerful, fast, and built to impress. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading, do it — this system doesn’t just meet expectations, it smashes them. 10/10. No regrets.

This console is nothing short of a monster, but don’t let that fool you. If you just upgraded from the ps4 to the ps5, or you don’t play often enough to justify the price for the “possible quality benefits” then it’s most likely not for you to be honest! HOWEVER, if you love playing games in your free time, you enjoy super quick loading speeds with beautiful 4k 60-120fps games consistently, then yeah this is your best bet. You know that performance mode that often causes too much lag to use? No longer! And also console storage? Almost a problem of the past, with the starting 2 Tb of storage I haven’t had to worry once yet, upgrading from the 500Gb ps5. Here’s what it feels like to want, and get, this console: At first it’s the indecision to switch from the ps5 to the ps5 pro, next it’s the pretty penny that’s gone from your pocket to get the current most GORGEOUS upgrade in a console gaming system, AND a new 4k OLED TV to match the console’s potential. And with that I feel that the ps5 pro is the best console I’ve ever shelled out any money for however it’s easy to understand how many could see otherwise!

PS5 pro is super quiet, takes up less space than the OG PS5, has 2 TB of storage built in, and you can tell the difference in the graphics/performance. However, I’m not sure it’s worth the $200+ price difference. Not only does it not have a disc drive or vertical stand, but I don’t think most people would care about the performance difference. It would have been worth it if it came with the pulse/pro controller. Long story short - I like it, but it’s not worth it. You’ll get a better value with the regular PS5.

I upgraded to the Pro after having the original PS5 for a few years and I’m really glad I did. I love the design. It's cleaner and fits my setup better than the OG. The performance upgrade is noticeable. Games run smoother, load faster, and everything just feels better. Definitely happy with the upgrade. PSSR2 is going to make it that much better!!

First of all know what you are buying. I see no point of people saying they are surprised there is no stand or disc drive. So you casually spend $700 without researching your purchase? If you’re ok with those missing or buying them separately then the real question is this worth the extra money? I think that depends on several factors. Obviously the nicer your TV is the better value this will be. Keep in mind for the extra money your getting more then just a better GPU. You’re getting 2TB of storage (1.89TB available) which is more than double the standard PS5. Wifi has been upgraded to Wifi 7. They added 2GB more ram as well. Is it night and day better? No not really. But is a PS5 pro enchanced game noticable? I would say yes it is. Horizon remastered pro on an OLED is absolutely gorgeous and thats after playing the original PS5 version and its sequel. If you have the means ans you want the best visual quality on a growing list of games on console this is a worthy choice.

The PlayStation 5 delivers fast performance, stunning graphics, and almost no loading times thanks to its custom SSD. Games look and feel more immersive, especially with the DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. The system is large but stylish, and its interface is clean and easy to use. While storage space fills up quickly and some exclusives are still limited, the PS5 offers one of the best gaming experiences available today.

Note: I play on LG G1 OLED with panel capable of 120hz and VRR.* The PS5 pro is everything that Sony built it up to be. Increased fidelity in higher frame rate modes with a little extra (PSSR) to boot. So far the games that I have tested (Horizon Forbidden West, Dragons Dogma 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Cyberpunk 2077, and Black Ops 6) all perfom better than they did on the regular PS5 and those games in the list that are optimized by the developers for PS5 Pro feels like I’m playing them for the first time again, the upgrade is that impressive. Dragons Dogma 2 which had the pro patch on release day of the PS5 Pro looks so good in performance mode and I am getting a stable 60 FPS median in Balanced mode with ray tracing effects on. Before on the PS5 original, i was getting 30FPS with ray tracing on. To make things sweeter, PSSR brings out another level of detail in far ranging graphics this was noticable in Dragons Dogma 2 and Horizon Forbidden West more than the others. That all being said, a couple of the games i tested, Black Ops 6 and Cyberpunk 2077, which do not have PS5 Pro patches (cyberpunk might not ever have it) play just a bit better but if you werent OCD about graphics like I tend to be you probably wouldnt inow which console you were playing on if the images were side by side. This was very dissappointing as I believed the upgraded hardware itself could take these games to a new level of fidelity but it does not. At the time of writing this black ops 6 still gas not released its pro patch and my hope is that the unsightly graniness in 120hz mode might be solved by PSSR. I think we will see the true test of its capabilities in games further doen the road which will be produced to cater to the upgrade of the PS5 pro and not just patches for older titles, which is very exciting. All in all, the ps5 pro is worth the expense if you want the best graphics, which I did. I think it is worth noting again like i did in the beginning of this review that having a good TV set to really bring out the detail is important too. Especially one that unlocks the features of this console, VRR, 120hz so its potential can be realized. If you do not have a set that can atleast produce those outputs I would pass on the PS5 Pro.

I upgraded my PS5 to a PS5 pro at the end of March before prices went up. Graphics are noticeable between base PS5 and PS5 pro, and ps4 games also look better on PS5 pro with pssr resolution. I’m playing it on my LG C4 OLED TV. Unlike ps4 pro ps5 pro has better ray tracing more games support 4k in 120hz, graphics looks better than Xbox series x and base ps5 but I wish ps5’s have Dolby Vision on select games. I got the disc drive on an add on because I still have all my physical games on ps5. Games I tested were gears of war reloaded and sonic racing crossworlds which is both ps5 pro enhanced that colors popped out and watch dogs 2 which is on ps4.

I recently purchased the PlayStation 5 Pro, and I’m extremely impressed. The performance is incredible — games load instantly, the graphics are sharp and smooth, and the overall experience feels next-level. The console runs quietly, the 4K quality is amazing, and the new controller features make gameplay even more immersive. Definitely worth every dollar. Highly recommended!

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.

The PS5 Pro is a step up from the PS5 with 2TB of storage and Quality Mode with 60 FPS. Games like Ghost Of Yotei and Assassin Creed Shadow shine on this console when set to Quality Pro mode. The only drawback is the lack of a disc drive that has to be purchased separately. Great console overall even after the slight price hike.

The PlayStation 5 is an impressive leap forward in gaming, delivering an experience that feels both cutting-edge and immersive. One of its standout strengths is the lifelike visuals—games look incredibly detailed, with rich environments, smooth animations, and lighting effects that make worlds feel truly alive. Whether exploring vast landscapes or diving into fast-paced action, the graphics consistently enhance immersion. The PS5’s game library is another major highlight. The system strikes a great balance between platformers and adventure games, offering something for every type of player. From creative, playful platforming experiences to expansive, story-driven adventures, the variety keeps gameplay fresh and engaging. Beyond performance and games, the console itself is a statement piece. Its sleek, futuristic design sets it apart from previous generations and looks right at home in a modern setup. Overall, the PlayStation 5 combines powerful visuals, a diverse and exciting game lineup, and a bold design, making it a standout console that truly feels like the future of gaming.

I upgraded from the regular PS5, and the difference is noticeable. Games load faster, graphics look sharper, and the 120Hz support makes everything feel incredibly smooth. Ray tracing improvements really stand out in supported titles. If you have a 4K TV that supports 120Hz, you’ll definitely appreciate the upgrade. The design is basically the same, but the performance boost is worth it for serious gamers. Pros: Fast, smooth, great visuals. Cons: Not a must-have for casual players.

I’ve owned every generation of Playstation, and I’ve never upgraded to a slim or Pro model. This time was the exception. While the base PS5 has served me well since day 1, the PS5 Pro has genuinely felt like an upgrade in every way possible. Performance, ray tracing and high fidelity? I was sold. The extra terabyte of storage is a nice help as well. If you’re considering, i would highly suggest as it’s served well for Resident Evil Requiem, and i think 007 First Light, GTA 6 and Wolverine will run amazing as well

I’ll be real — I wasn’t even planning on buying the PS5 Pro. I already had a launch PS5 and told myself the upgrade wasn’t worth it. Then I walked into Best Buy just to look, stood in front of the display for like 20 minutes, and left with one under my arm. That was about four months ago and I have zero regrets. I’ve been gaming since the PS2 days so when I say this thing genuinely suprised me, I mean it. I went in skeptical. The PS4 Pro honestly felt like a cash grab so I wasn’t expecting much. First thing I booted up was Spider-Man 2 — a game I’d already beaten on my base PS5. First time swinging through Manhattan at night in the rain on the Pro I actually stopped moving just to look at the reflections on the street below me. My girlfriend walked in and said “is that real?” She doesn’t even play games. That said everything. The big thing with the Pro is it basically kills the fidelity vs performance tradeoff. On the base PS5 you were always choosing one or the other. On this machine quality modes run like performance modes used to. I picked up FF7 Rebirth specifically because I heard it was rough on the base console in quality mode — on the Pro it’s been smooth the entire playthrough. For a game that visually dense thats impressive.. The Best Buy experience was smooth too. Staff actually knew what they were talking about, had both versions in stock, no pressure. I went disc version because I still buy physical and I’m not trying to have my whole library tied to a digital account. Was in and out in under 20 minutes. DualSense is still slept on. The adaptive triggers in Returnal genuinely change how you play, not just how it feels. Astro Bot does things with the controller that feel like a magic trick. Battery life is still mid though — charge it daily or keep a cable close, just how it is. Load times are still insane. Spider-Man 2 goes from the home screen to in-game in about two seconds. Coming from a base PS4 before this gen that still doesn’t feel normal. If your on a base PS5 and play graphically heavy games, the upgrade is real. Coming from a PS4 this is one of the biggest leaps you’ll feel. Best Buy had it in stock same day and four months later it’s the most used thing in my setup. Genuinely the version of the PS5 that delivers on what the original was promising.

The PS5 Pro redefines what “next-gen” truly means, pushing performance past expectations with blistering speeds and jaw-dropping visuals. Its upgraded GPU delivers ray tracing at a fidelity that makes even the most familiar worlds feel new, while AI-powered upscaling ensures every frame is a masterpiece. Load times? Practically nonexistent—this machine doesn’t just play games; it launches you into them. The redesigned cooling system keeps things whisper-quiet, proving power doesn’t have to come with compromise. Sony didn’t just refine the PS5; they perfected it, setting a new benchmark for console gaming. If the PS5 was the future, the PS5 Pro is living in it.

I bought myself this for a year of hard work as a celebration.The graphics look amazing and the console is so quiet compared to the ps4.I was going to get a ps5 this past summer but heard of a ps5 pro series coming out & im happy that I waited for this machine instead as the performance is outstanding.My only complaint is they werent made with a disc drive That will have to be bought separately.I had to definitely buy one because I mostly only collect physical media.I cant be one of those digital only people as i like to display and have a case&manual for my $$ and you own it forever.(no worrying about losing it 5 years later over licensing issues lol)

I absolutely love my PlayStation 5—this console has completely transformed my gaming experience. The speed, the graphics, the immersive gameplay… everything feels next-level. From the moment I turned it on, I knew I made the right choice. It’s not just a system, it’s an experience I look forward to every time I sit down to play. And I can’t say enough about Best Buy. Ordering through their app is incredibly convenient, and their delivery is always fast, smooth, and reliable. My PS5 arrived quickly and perfectly packaged, making the entire process stress-free. On top of that, the deals I get with Best Buy are truly unbeatable—great prices, special offers, and rewards that actually make a difference. Best Buy continues to be my go-to for electronics because they make everything easy, affordable, and enjoyable. From an amazing console to outstanding service, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have the base ps5 and yes i had FOMO 3 days before the price hike...so what? ZERO regrets. The PRO is a beast of a machine and i absolutely love it. Cyberpunk, tsushima, no man's sky, AC shadows, the list goes on...they all look fantastic. Paired with my asus swift oled its (chef's kiss). Graphics and performance are awesome. Storage isnt a problem as i already had a 2tb ssd on my base. Yes, buying the drive and stand separately was an extra cost to an already pricey item but i think its worth it.

Love the new skeek look and plays great. Games run smoother with enhanced graphics, great performance, storage capacity and frame rate is amazing! Cant wait for more game updates to take advantage of the PS5 pro! Definitely recommend this PS5 PRO
