PS5 Pro Announced With Release Date and Price

As a long-time gaming enthusiast who’s been through the evolution of consoles since the 8-bit days, I must say, the reveal of the PlayStation 5 Pro has me absolutely thrilled! The prospect of playing games at unparalleled frame rates without sacrificing visual fidelity is nothing short of a dream come true.


Nearly a year and a half since its initial mention, Sony has unveiled the long-awaited PlayStation 5 Pro. Similar to the enhancement seen in the PlayStation 4 series, this upgraded version of the PS5 promises improved performance, enabling smoother gameplay without compromising on quality or detail. Previously shrouded in speculation throughout 2024, we now have a clearer picture of when the console will hit shelves and its estimated cost.

During the “PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation” today, Sony’s chief architect of the PS5, Mark Cerny, unveiled the PlayStation 5 Pro for the first time. The design of the hardware shares a similar shape to the console silhouette that Sony revealed last week, featuring three lines running through its central part. Inside, the PS5 Pro boasts a more potent GPU, advanced ray tracing, and a novel super-sampling technology that promises to make games look more stunning than ever before.

Regarding its debut, the upgraded PS5 version, known as PS5 Pro, is slated for release on November 7, 2024, priced at $699.99. Notably, Sony will exclusively sell the PS5 Pro without a disc drive, making it a digital-only device. However, fear not, as standalone disc drives compatible with the original slim version of the PS5 will work with the PS5 Pro, allowing those who prefer a disc drive to purchase one separately. You can find these drives on Amazon and Walmart.

The release date for the PS5 Pro is November, but pre-orders for this console will start later in September. On the 26th of this month, you’ll be able to purchase it through Sony’s PlayStation Direct website as well as other retailers worldwide. Notably, the PS5 Pro package includes a 2TB SSD, which is twice the storage capacity offered by the standard version of the PS5.

What are your thoughts on the PS5 Pro, considering what Sony has revealed thus far? Is the high $700 price tag for the console a concern or are you still planning to purchase it despite this cost? Don’t forget to share your opinions with me on social media @MooreMan12.
