PlayStation 5 Pro announced, will cost $699 / £699 / €799



It's time to see what surprise PlayStation has in store for the future, with its PS5 Technical Presentation broadcast. Will we see a PS5 Pro? Or will it be something unexpected? Find out now, because the 9-minute livestream is kicking off now. We'll be summarizing the event as it airs, to stay tuned.

Cerny kicks off by going back to the PlayStation 5's launch, detailing the hardware in the system, and how it was an improvement from the PlayStation 4. Graphics, sound, haptics.

Developers have been wanting more, though. Having to choose between fidelity and performance mode has been an issue. Performance mode has been 75% more popular.

He casually drops PS5 Pro's announcement.

A larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, AI-driven upscaling, and more.

This improves the framerate performance for current PS5 games, with higher quality graphics.

He claims it's double the power of PS5.

We get to see a showcase of better graphics and smoother framerates in first-party PS5 games.

Ray-tracing has seen a large upgrade. Better reflections, shadows, and background details.

November 7 launch, for $699.99.

Confirmed separately on the PlayStation Blog was the fact that the system will NOT be launching with a disc drive, which you'll be able to buy separately for $79.99.

And the EUR region gets the short end of the stick with the pricing...

Literally no way this will sell... It's like Apple's screen holder or stylus, all hyper-expensive for what they are.

But your picture is a joke.
A bad joke, almost as bad as the PS5 Pro.

It's for people that saw The Office, which you obviously did not.

But admittedly the PS5 comparison pics were not great, but people said they couldn't tell the difference when they first showed them on the actual video.

Forget it.

If you look at the replies, people are laughing at how the two images look the same. Should have used that image. Google downsamples other websites images. It was just for a dumb joke not that important.

The pictures are flat out compressed garbage regardless. Look at the grass on the left side of the image. it's completely smeared in the Pro version. LMAO! And I mean... because a person can see things like frame rate increases in a still image. And because the image was cherry picked. Why not post FF VII Rebirth comparison pics? The entire flawed comparison picture above is just flat out stupid.

Honestly who cares, it's still $700 + tax and plus another $80 if you want to play your discs. That's the most expensive console to come out in history, and it's not even a new console.

Ok maybe if you don't own a PS5 at all and you want to pay extra to get the best version, I can understand. But anyone who already owns a PS5, well, it's your money. And when people start throwing around the "you're poor" argument you better make close to 6 figures to start throwing those accusations around and you sure better not be supported by your parents, otherwise you're poor too or just have more free money/different situation than someone else. (I'm not really directing this last part at you, but anyone).

I easily have the spare money to buy 5 PS5 Pros, 10 even, but it's just not that important for some slightly better graphics on the same exact games.

Maybe if gamers weren't so obsessed with graphics, games wouldn't cost hundreds of millions to make AAA games and there wouldn't be so many remasters so many remakes, and companies wouldn't cater as much to casual gamers because they could take more risks. Many developers that made 3-5 games per generation in the past are struggling to make one now. Alan Wake 2 sold 1.3 million and hasn't broken even on their budget yet. There is something wrong with that.

You care, or you wouldn't have posted the shit-tastic "comparison" to try proving your point. ;) But thanks for confirming that my comments were accurate and then completely moving your goal posts.

Regarding the financial aspects you mentioned. I'm disabled and have only SSI disability income. I can afford a PS5 Pro if I want one. If a person wants one and can't afford it, they are poor.

You are being supported by the Government, you have absolutely no reason to be calling out anyone's money situation. Ever. You're a dick.

I can easily buy 10 PS5 Pros, but will never buy one.

Graphic whores have already made the industry way worse than it used to be, and if they make PS5 Pro a huge success we'll probably have a digital only PS6 where Sony can fully control the cost of games at all times. Thanks a lot.

I'm out from this thread we're on a site where just about everybody pirates games taking my dumb joke too serious about the image in it because they're defensive of a console they don't need and even worse there's someone being supported by the Government calling other people poor. Posted the same pic on another gaming forum got 4 upvotes, here people arguing with me.

Calling me a dick because I am disabled and receive disability income, yet could still purchase as PS5 Pro if I wanted.... is literally being a dick. Trolling ass hypocrite. Got called out for stupidity and now you continue to move your goal posts. lmao. Cope.
