Sony has started taking preorders today for the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro, which will officially release on November 7. With a price tag of $700, this is an opportunity for gamers to secure their console ahead of the busy holiday season, although inventory is expected to be very limited.
Currently, players looking to preorder can access a virtual waiting room on the Sony website, where wait times exceed an hour. To complete the preorder through Sony, a free PSN account is required. Alternatively, gamers can also preorder the console from retailers like Best Buy.
The PS5 Pro boasts advanced AI capabilities, delivering enhanced 4K resolution for stunning game visuals. It supports 4K TVs and monitors at both 60Hz and 120Hz refresh rates, and incorporates advanced ray tracing technology for improved lighting and shadow effects, ensuring a more immersive gaming experience.
Equipped with 2TB of storage and improved wireless connectivity, the PS5 Pro is designed for modern gaming needs. The DualSense wireless controller enhances gameplay with features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Additionally, those with an 8K resolution TV or monitor will benefit from full compatibility through an HDMI 2.1 port.
While the PS5 Pro is backward compatible with all PS4 and PS5 titles, a selection of games specifically optimized for the new console is set to arrive, including popular titles such as “The Last of Us Part I,” “The Last of Us Part II,” “Demon’s Souls,” “Gran Turismo 7,” and “Horizon Forbidden West,” among others.
