The PS5 Pro has finally been announced for a November 7, 2024, release. It will be made available to the fans through major retailers and online. The base price is US$700 with an additional $79.99 if an external disk drive is added. Unlike the original PS5, only a digital-only version will be made available of this new model.
It puts the PS5 Pro in a different class than the base model by offering quite serious uplifts in graphical performance and more. For one, it offers a faster rendering GPU that promises to improve ray tracing at higher resolutions. Gamers will be able to play games at 8K Ultra HD, doubling the base PS5 resolution.
This will also support AI upscaling technology to bring clarity to in-game visuals. Games that don’t support native 8K resolutions will benefit from such enhancements, as well. This is going to be huge for PlayStation users.
Storage has also been upgraded, and the PS5 Pro comes with 2TB of space. This is a highly needed feature since this is a digital-only console. Players won’t have to be concerned when it comes down to downloading games about running out of space.
For online players, PS5 Pro will feature Wi-Fi 7 for blazing-fast speeds to ensure connections are reliable. That is quite a leap from the base model with Wi-Fi 6 and is perfect for seamless online gaming. Another new feature, Game Boost, will improve PS4 games running on the PS5 Pro.
PS5 Pro pre-orders open on September 26, 2024, and are expected to be in high demand. If you want one, we encourage you to make sure you place your order as early as possible.
