Exciting announcement
Sony has unveiled the PS5 Pro, which will be released on November 7 for $700. This new console offers great performance compared to the current PS5 and PS5 Slim models, allowing players to enjoy 4K gaming at 60 frames per second (fps). This means that you will experience amazing graphics and smooth gameplay that combine the best features for realism and performance.
PS5 Pro key features
- Powerful performance
PS5 Pro has a larger GPU that increases rendering speed by up to 45%. It supports advanced technologies such as AI-based scaling and ray tracing, to make games look better.
- More storage space
With a 2TB SSD, the PS5 Pro offers double the storage space of the PS5 Slim models. This is important, as storage upgrades on previous PS5 consoles are expensive - typically $100 for just an additional 1TB.
- New design elements
The PS5 Pro has had a minor design update, highlighted by wider "racing stripes" on the side panels. The device comes with a standard DualSense 5 controller. Keep in mind that other operators charge between $75 and $80, which represents a recent price increase.

The Importance of the Disc Drive
Since the PS5 Pro is a digital-only console, playing physical games will require the $80 Disc Drive attachment, which is also compatible with the PS5 Pro. Many retailers sold out quickly after the announcement, so it's wise to secure your attachment soon!
The PS5 Pro is shaping up to be an impressive upgrade for gamers looking for enhanced graphics and performance. With its launch just around the corner, be sure to mark your calendars for the preorder dates to secure your console and accessories.
