Welcome PlayStation 5 Pro, the most visually impressive way to play games on PlayStation

Features including GPU upgrade, advanced ray tracing, and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution take players to new heights.

• Upgraded GPU: With PS5 Pro, we are upgrading to a GPU that has 67% more Compute Units than the current PS5 console and 28% faster memory. Overall, this enables up to 45% faster rendering for gameplay, making the experience much smoother.
• Advanced Ray Tracing: We’ve added even more powerful ray tracing that provides more dynamic reflection and refraction of light. This allows the rays to be cast at double, and at times triple, the speeds of the current PS5 console.
• AI-Driven Upscaling: We’re also introducing PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, an AI-driven upscaling that uses a machine learning-based technology to provide super sharp image clarity by adding an extraordinary amount of detail.

• Compatible with current PS5 accesories
• Digital only console. Disc-Drive accesory can be purchase separately.
• Launching on November 7, 2024. Pre-orders begin on September 26, 2024

PRICES

• $699 USD
• £699.99 GBP
• €799.99 EUR
• ¥119,980 JPY

$700 for a console without a disc drive is a fucking ripoff!

I wouldn't have been getting this even if it were reasonably priced, but damn, sony.

The pricing gets even worse.




In other words, everyone outside of Yankee Land is getting ripped off by conversion rates. It would literally be cheaper to just import this from the US.

Rebirth was really blurry.

Digital Foundry says that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has a night and day improvement to image quality over base PS5 in the all-important 60fps performance mode.

The UK and European prices are VAT inclusive though, whereas US prices are often without as it's different per state. Don't quote me on that though, the PS blog lists all the prices and adds (includes tax) behind all four prices listed: Welcome PlayStation 5 Pro, the most visually impressive way to play games on PlayStation
