Grab a $100 discount on the enhanced PlayStation 5 Pro, available only for today!
Sony’s lineup of PlayStation 5 consoles saw a price hike in August due to increased tariffs, but now through the holiday season, you can snag a $100 discount on several models. This is a fantastic opportunity if you were eyeing the PS5 Pro, Sony’s most powerful console to date. Typically priced at $749.99, it’s currently available for around $689.99 at major retailers. According to Sony’s PlayStation Direct, this sale wraps up on December 25th at 3 AM ET, although discounts on the standard models may still be available.
The PS5 Pro delivers top-notch performance, allowing many games to run at their best resolutions while maintaining superior visual effects compared to the standard PS5, especially in areas like ray tracing and shadow quality. Some titles not only look better but also perform faster on the Pro. However, keep in mind that the PS5 Pro does not include a disc drive, limiting you to digital games, though you can purchase an optional drive for $80 if you decide to add one later.
Equipped with a more powerful GPU than any other PS5 model, the Pro also boasts double the internal storage of the current slim versions (2TB compared to 1TB). A standout feature of the Pro is PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), which leverages AI to upscale graphics in supported games for enhanced visuals. The performance gap between the Pro and the base PS5 is noticeable in various titles, though there hasn’t been a game yet that makes upgrading an absolute must. If a lower price is what you needed to make the leap, now is an excellent time to consider the upgrade.
