But hold on a minute. The PS5 Pro doesn’t even come with a disc drive or a vertical stand – you’ll need to buy those separately. Want to keep your shiny new console standing tall? That’ll be another $30 . Fancy playing actual physical discs? Tack on $80 for that privilege . Suddenly, that $699.99 price tag starts climbing.

What’s New in the PS5 Pro?

According to Sony, the PS5 Pro is all about “not choosing between graphics and performance” – because, apparently, you had to before. With a souped-up GPU, better ray tracing, and some fancy AI-driven upscaling, the Pro promises to make everything look smoother, sharper, and more detailed. But does that justify an upgrade? I’ll let you be the judge of that, I am but a humble writer… who can’t afford one.

PS5 Pro Enhanced Games

If you’ve decided to fork over the cash, you can look forward to enhanced versions of games like Alan Wake 2 , Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and Spider-Man 2, among others. But beyond some extra graphical polish, is there anything here that screams “must-have”?
