How to Pre-Order PS5 Pro
It’s been about two weeks since Sony finally unveiled the PS5 Pro and all the processing power improvements that come with it. In this short period of time, the console is now available for pre-order, as are the Anniversary Edition bundles – provided Sony produces more of the latter.
Unfortunately for all fans of the PSOne aesthetic, all Sony Anniversary products are currently sold out. This includes the PS5 Pro Anniversary Edition Bundle , the PS5 Digital Edition Slim Anniversary Console Bundle , the DualSense Edge Anniversary Edition , and the PlayStation Portal Anniversary Edition . All of these products are dark gray in color with bright buttons in the style of the original PlayStation console. And all these products are already in demand by enthusiastic Sony fans.
To be clear, these are all the same products as their counterparts: the PS5 Slim Anniversary edition is no different from the standard model, and the DualSense Edge Anniversary Edition controller works the same as the regular one. However, the console does come with some fun accessories, like a charging cable that makes the controller connector look like it’s from a PSOne. But it supports the same games as the standard PlayStation 5, so unless you’re interested in aesthetic changes, that’s all that’s really new here.
While you wait for Sony to potentially release more of these products, you can still pre-order the new PS5 Pro . Sony hasn’t provided any official specifications yet, but during the announcement the company said the new console features an upgraded GPU that can run more games at 4K 60fps and with more ray tracing effects. The Pro also takes advantage of PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) technology, which uses artificial intelligence to enhance the image quality of your games. Existing games optimized for the console include Alan Wake 2 , Assassin’s Creed: Shadows , Demon’s Souls , Dragon’s Dogma 2 , Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth , Gran Turismo 7 , Hogwarts Legacy , Horizon Forbidden West , Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 , Ratchet & Clank. : Rift Apart , The Crew Motorfest , The First Descendant and The Last of Us Part II Remastered .
However, this will not come cheap. The PS5 Pro costs $699.99, which is $200 more than the PS5 Slim. The latter actually comes with a disc drive and stand, things you’ll need to buy for the Pro if you want to play physical media or, you know, stand the console up. The drive costs $79.99 and the stand costs $29.99 , so you’re looking at $809.97 for the whole deal. This is an expensive console.
If you want to play PS5 games at the highest resolutions, the Pro is the one for you. However, games look good on the standard PS5, and you can buy them without waiting for the PS5 Pro’s November 7 release date.
