PlayStation 5 Pro

I sold my PS5 and bought myself a PS5 Pro. I find it worth it cause I was really annoyed with the storage limitation. 2TB is perfect. The visual upgrades, while minor, is still noticeable on some games.

You’ll see how it compares to the original “Fat” PS5—and why it might be worth the extra cash if you’re serious about smoother frame rates, sharper visuals, and a lot more storage. I also talk about real-world performance boosts, quieter fans, and whether the PS5 Pro’s future-proofing justifies its higher price tag over the slimmer (and cheaper) PS5 models.

I would like to um talk about how the PlayStation 5 Pro um after the last few weeks um is kind of my pick for best best overall value in terms of what you get for what you pay uh versus, you know, basically the rest of the competition.

PS5 Pro, one year later. Still just as awesome.

Edge here goes to the Steam Machine for sheer engineering ambition, but the PS5 Pro wins on plug-and-play simplicity. This is where things get real, and where a lot of people are going to be surprised. The PS5 Pro runs on an AMD Zen 2 CPU with eight cores and 16 threads.

Choose PS5 Pro if you have a high-end TV, care about future-proofing, or play performance-heavy titles, and stick with PS5 if you’re a casual gamer, rely on discs, or just want the best value without extra spend.

But if you've been paying attention to Digital Foundry, you may have noticed that our impressions of the Pro are quite mixed. But we wanted to sit down and actually reflect on what that really looks like in terms of the day-to-day experience living with the PS5 Pro.

Imo it's not worth the extra money over the base PS5 which is fine for most people. I sit 7ft away from a 65" OLED and there is a noticeable difference but you'd really have to compare side by side to spot it.

Even more disappointing that PS5 Pro was really starting to pick up with the upgraded PSSR and showing some great early results - even with games that haven’t been officially patched yet.
