Why You Need A PS5 Pro (Even If You Think You Don't)

Launching as PlayStation's most capable console to date, the PS5 Pro looks to deliver in ways never seen before. With technical enhancements and upgrades packed into the new offering, as well as a sparkling 30th Anniversary Edition of the console, this drop has a lot to offer. Players can expect to see the new console launched worldwide on November 7, and its limited-edition color launched November 21.

The PS5 is already a beefy console, delivering players 4K gaming and up to 120fps with 120Hz output. But the PS5 Pro looks to challenge what the console already provides, upgrading the entire gaming experience tenfold. Before even getting to the upgraded graphics, the storage increase from a 1TB SSD to 2TB instantly lends the console to being a worthwhile pickup, giving players immediate access to larger games or a bigger library without any necessary improvements of their own.

Other substantial upgrades can be seen in the advanced ray tracing, adding that bit of further depth to lighting effects through the games players enjoy. Super sharp image clarity for 4K televisions also provides players with that added edge no matter what they choose to pick up, and competitive players will find high frame rate gameplay satisfying all their needs too. With so many improvements, the PS5 Pro has a lot about it to love.
