The lead-up to this moment has been filled with excitement, with many leaks hinting at significant upgrades over the base PS5 model. Now, with everything officially on the table, here’s a deep dive into the PlayStation 5 Pro, including all the details from today’s reveal.
What is the PS5 Pro Release Date?
The PlayStation 5 Pro is set to launch in late November 7, 2024, as officially revealed during the PlayStation Technical Presentation earlier today. Preorders will begin on September 26, 2024.
While rumors had pointed to a late 2024 release, it’s now confirmed that fans won’t have to wait too much longer to get their hands on the PS5 Pro.
What is the PS5 Pro Price Tag?
As for the PS5 Pro price, it was officially announced that it will retail (MSRP) at $699.99 USD, £699.99 GBP, €799.99 EUR, and ¥119,980 JPY (including tax). There were earlier reports speculating that the PlayStation 5 Pro price might land somewhere between $499 and $599.
Sony seems to be positioning the PS5 Pro as a high-end upgrade for gamers looking to experience next-level graphics and performance, but the price may still be a key factor in its success.
What Are the PS5 Pro Specs? CPU, GPU, Storage, RAM, and More
Cerny didn’t hold back when discussing the PS5 Pro specs. Sony has designed the PS5 Pro with high-performance gaming in mind, focusing on delivering superior graphics and smoother gameplay.
One of the biggest upgrades comes from its new upgraded GPU, which features 67% more Compute Units compared to the standard PS5, along with memory that’s 28% faster. This means the PS5 Pro can render games up to 45% faster, making for a much smoother and visually impressive experience.
As for the storage, the new PS5 Pro comes with a 2TB SSD. In addition, the PS5 Pro pushes ray tracing to new heights with its Advanced Ray Tracing. Another standout feature is the introduction of AI-driven upscaling with PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution.
PS5 Pro Design
We now have the first official look at what the new PS5 Pro looks like. Confirming the previously leaked design by insider billbil-kun, the PlayStation 5 Pro will have three diagonal lines going through the middle of each side plate, giving it a sleeker, more futuristic appearance.
The image showcases a design that’s a clear evolution from the original PS5, with slightly refined curves and a more streamlined profile. The console retains its striking white and black color scheme but adds a blue LED strip that gives off a premium, high-tech feel.

Does the PS5 Pro Come with a Disk Drive?
No, the new PS5 Pro does not come with a pre-installed disk drive. However, Sony has provided an option for players who prefer physical media. You can manually install a disk drive, which is sold separately.
In an official statement, Sony confirmed, “PS5 Pro is available as a disc-less console, with the option to purchase the currently available Disc Drive for PS5 separately.” This move keeps the design sleek and caters to both digital-only and physical game fans, giving players flexibility depending on their needs.
