Sony has, as expected, PlayStation 5 Pro announced. The new version of the PS5 is a lot more powerful than the base model, but that also comes with a hefty price tag. The PS5 Pro costs 800 euros.
The Pro console is only available in a digital version. It is possible to connect an external disk drive. This currently costs 120 euros. You also have to buy a vertical stand separately for 30 euros.
Included in the package are an internal SSD of 2TB, a DualSense controller and Astro’s Playroom. In addition, the improved GPU is the big eye-catcher.
According to Sony, the GPU has up to 67% more compute units and 28% faster memory, making it a lot more powerful. That in turn should lead to 45% faster rendering of images.
The improved GPU also enables better ray tracing, up to two or three times the speed of the regular PS5. Finally, the new console also supports AI-powered upscaling.

Those benefits won’t just be felt in new games. PS5 Pro Game Boost will also be supported in over 8,500 PS4 games, with PS5 games like Demon’s Souls, Alan Wake 2, and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart getting an update to take full advantage of the new hardware.
The new console will be available from November 7th. Interested parties can place a pre-order from September 26th. Are you willing to pay 800 euros or more for an improved PS5?
