Buying call

Buy the PS5 Pro if you play on a 4K or 120Hz TV and want the best PlayStation visuals: reviewers saw smoother 4K gameplay, better ray tracing and sharper images from PSSR upscaling in enhanced games, plus 2TB of storage and faster Wi-Fi. Skip it if you play on a 1080p screen or want physical games, because the gains are subtle on many titles, and it ships without a disc drive or vertical stand. It costs far more than a standard PS5 that runs the same games.
