Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Ps5 pro is sleek and smaller than the original ps5 even with an attached disk drive. Hooked to a tv that can handle 120hz , VRR and more you get the most benefit for your games from ps4 to ps5 and pro enhanced. if you do not have an upgraded tv that can handle the benefits of the PS5 pro then stick with the standard ps5 or ps5 slim. upgraded memory , visuals, frame rates and ray tracing is what you get from the pro for some games. makes some ps4 games run better as well

The PlayStation 5 Pro is everything I hoped for and more. The graphics are insanely sharp—ray tracing, 4K, buttery-smooth frame rates—it’s like playing inside a blockbuster movie. Load times are almost nonexistent thanks to the ultra-fast SSD, and the new white design looks sleek and futuristic in my setup. The dual cooling system runs quietly even during intense sessions. Whether I’m diving into story-driven games or competitive online matches, this console delivers top-tier performance without compromise. If you want the best of next-gen gaming, the PS5 Pro is the way to go!

The transfer process from Ps5 to the Pro was streamlined. I enjoy the fidelity the hardware gives currently available software. It’s nice to be able to enjoy ray tracing and while also enjoying stable frame rates. Keep in mind you will want to ensure your display uses the same output standards that the pro uses so you can maximize your enjoyment.

It’s clear Sony is laying the foundation for whatever the principles and philosophy of PlayStation 6 will be with the PS5 Pro. PSSR, their up-scaling, AI-machine learning proprietary design, allows the system to enhance games and do much of the heavy lifting without needing developers to implement things in a way that costs time and money. The additional TB of storage capacity over the regular PS5 is a nice addition that I think is overlooked as well. The system is shockingly small and rather quiet for a machine that is so powerful and capable of extraordinary output. I could be playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer for hours and the PS5 Pro would remain as quiet as it was when I turned it on for the day. The design of the system is sleek and fits nicely with any console entertainment setup you might have.

Purchase this ps5 for my son after playing for 30 minutes console keeps turning of by it self. I think this unit came in defective.

Having owned a PS5 since its launch, I am very pleased with the PS5 Pro. With many games I own, the Pro boosts them to a better performing version compared to base PS5. In addition, several games have Pro Enhanced patches that substantially improve the framerate, the resolution, or add features like real-time lighting. If you only have a digital game library, the Pro has 1 TB more of SSD storage compared to the base PS5. Typically, 1 TB of expansion storage costs about $100-$110 so that is one reason the system sells for $699.99. By comparison, a slim PS5 digital costs $449.99 but has 1TB of storage. If you need a disc drive to play games you own on PS5 or want to use your PS5 as a Blu-ray DVD player (does not play music CDs), you will have to buy a $79.99 external drive (raising the price to $779.98). Overall, it is a bit of a steep asking price for a console, but it absolutely is a much bigger upgrade compared to the one observed with PS4 Pro. Thus far, games like Horizon Forbidden West, Assassins Creed Shadows, Space Marine 2, Gran Turismo 7, Jedi Survivor, and Star Wars:Outlaws have seen significant improvements on Pro. In addition, games like Call of Duty Black Ops 6, Doom The Dark Ages, and Forza Horizon 5 see some minor improvements in resolution and performance. Games like Doom Eternal and Armored Core 6 see some nice boosts in resolution and performance without a patch. I highly recommend looking at the website resetera.com for a full list of Enhanced and Boosted games

If you already have a PS5 you cant have the PS5Pro on the same accont. I bought for my husband and he cant play

I want to give this 5 stars because it's a noticeable upgrade from the Base model, however I have to be petty and complain about the lack of a disc drive OR a stand. It just seems ridiculous to require additional purchases for me to keep playing what I already own (physical games). And there's a stand IN the photos... all the marketing for the PS5 shows them placed vertically and yet... no stand. Other than those grievances... the console is great, it's fast, it's big, it's everything you want the modern console to be. Stop raising the price and deliberately not including parts. It's a Big Mac combo without fries and coke...

Optimal Display: Many reviewers note that a quality display makes a significant difference. Consider upgrading to an OLED TV or a high-refresh-rate gaming monitor to take full advantage of the PS5's graphical capabilities and high frame rates. Audio Upgrade: Enhance immersion with a quality headset like the official PULSE Elite wireless headset or a robust sound system. 3D audio is a core PS5 feature, and the right audio equipment brings it to life. Expanded Storage: The internal storage can fill up quickly. An internal NVMe SSD expansion is a neat solution for storing and playing PS5 games directly, while an external SSD can be used for PS4 titles.

The PS5 Pro is everything I hoped for and more. From the moment I powered it on, the performance difference was clear games load insanely fast, visuals are incredibly sharp, and frame rates are buttery smooth. The enhanced graphics make supported games look stunning, with richer details, improved lighting, and ultra-smooth gameplay. The console runs quietly even during long gaming sessions, and the DualSense controller truly elevates immersion with its adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. Whether you’re into competitive gaming or cinematic single-player experiences, the PS5 Pro handles everything flawlessly. If you want the best possible console gaming experience right now, the PS5 Pro is 100% worth it. Highly recommended!

I like the PS5 Pro. The games look better and run smoother, and the loading is really fast. It’s quiet, and the bigger storage is nice. The price is high, but overall it feels like a good upgrade for me.

I am returned from xbox! I've had every Playstation since original, but I strayed for series x. Game pass had me. But PS plus is vastly improved and is now half the price of gamepass. On top of that, the pro's graphics are gorgeous, the user interface is more versatile, and 2tb of storage is included. Playstation won me back with this one.

I upgraded from the standard PS5 and the difference is clear. Games look sharper, run smoother (many at 4K/60 or 120fps), and load just as fast. The console runs quiet, and the extra storage (1TB) is a big plus. If you have a 4K/120Hz display, this is the best PlayStation experience yet. Pricey, but worth it for serious gamers.

As a dedicated gamer, I recently upgraded to the PlayStation 5 Pro, and after several weeks of extensive use, I wanted to share my personal experience with this console. Performance and Graphics The PS5 Pro's enhanced GPU delivers a noticeable boost in both graphics and frame rates. Games like Horizon Forbidden West and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 showcase stunning visuals with smoother gameplay, thanks to advanced ray tracing and AI-driven upscaling technologies. The increased frame rates make for a more immersive and responsive gaming experience. Storage and Design The 2 TB internal SSD is a significant upgrade, providing ample space for my game library and reducing the need for external storage solutions. However, I was disappointed to find that the console lacks a built-in optical disc drive, requiring a separate purchase if you have a collection of physical games. Additionally, the vertical stand is sold separately, which feels like an oversight given the console's premium price point. Price Considerations At $699.99, the PS5 Pro is a considerable investment. While the performance enhancements are impressive, the price may be difficult to justify for the average gamer, especially without a high-end display to fully utilize the console's capabilities. For those without a 4K 120Hz TV or monitor, the benefits might not be as apparent.

The PlayStation 5 Pro is a powerful upgrade to the already impressive PS5, offering noticeable improvements for those seeking the best possible console gaming experience. While it might not be a revolutionary leap, it delivers enhanced visuals, smoother performance, and a few quality-of-life upgrades that cater to hardcore gamers and enthusiasts. Pros: Enhanced Visuals: The PS5 Pro shines with a high-end 4K TV with a 120Hz refresh rate. Thanks to the upgraded GPU, games look stunning with improved image clarity, more detailed textures, and smoother frame rates. Improved Performance: Say goodbye to compromises between fidelity and performance. The PS5 Pro allows for higher frame rates while maintaining impressive visual quality, even in demanding games. Larger SSD: The increased storage capacity (2TB) is a welcome addition, allowing you to install more games without worrying about storage space. Slimmer Design: While not a significant factor for everyone, the slightly slimmer and lighter design is a nice touch. Cons: Price: The PS5 Pro carries a premium price tag, making it a significant investment for gamers. Not Essential for Everyone: If you're happy with your current PS5 experience or need a high-end 4K TV to take advantage of the visual enhancements, the upgrade might not be necessary. Graphical Improvements Can Be Subtle: While noticeable in some games, the visual improvements aren't always dramatic. Key Features: Upgraded GPU: Delivers smoother frame rates and enhanced visual fidelity. 2TB SSD: Provides ample storage for your growing game library. Improved Cooling System: Ensures optimal performance during extended gaming sessions. Backward Compatibility: Play your entire PS4 and PS5 game collection. Who is it for? The PS5 Pro is aimed at gamers who demand the best console gaming experience. If you have a 4K TV with a high refresh rate and VRR support and are willing to pay a premium, the PS5 Pro will deliver a noticeable improvement over the base PS5. Final Verdict: The PS5 Pro is a solid upgrade that refines the PS5 formula, offering a smoother, more visually impressive gaming experience. While it's not a must-have for everyone, it's a worthwhile investment for enthusiasts and those seeking the best possible console visuals and performance.

Earl, I am extremely excited and grateful that I made this purchase! I owned a Xbox one X that finally gave out after a long period of time. BUT NOW I'VE ENTERED A WHOLE NEW GAMING UNIVERSE! I am in shock every time I start my PlayStation 5 Pro. I'm impressed with the speed, graphics, controller effects, apps for streaming, and the endless games. I will definitely come to BestBuy AGAIN for the accessories soon!

Works great. Runs a bit faster than standard ps5. Increased storage and sleak design. Lot less bulky for sure

The PS5 Pro is a fantastic console. The graphics are incredibly crisp, gameplay is smooth, and the system runs quietly and stays cool. With a generous 2TB of storage, you’ll have plenty of space for all your games. It is on the expensive side, and while it doesn’t include a disk drive by default, Sony allows you to purchase and add one separately. Personally, I prefer the look of the base PS5, but adding a disk drive improves its appearance. Overall, the PS5 Pro is an absolute powerhouse and a top-tier gaming experience.

Going from a PS4 Pro to a PS5 Pro wasn't something I thought I needed but I went for it anyway and have been blown away by the different. Better in every way! Faster, quieter, better graphics and amazing fps. So glad I got it!

Loving the storage and peak performance for a console it’s really clean and smooth and fun to owned for its design. It’s a bit pricey but worthy of an investment.
