"But despite all that, I was still excited to get a PS5 Pro. I have a big ol' 4K TV and I care about framerates and all the minutiae that impacts how a game looks. And over the last year, I've enjoyed some great games on my PS5 Pro. Battlefield 6, for example, looks and runs wonderfully on Sony's beefier machine. Likewise, Death Stranding 2 looks incredibly sharp on PS5 Pro while still running flawlessly."
"Yet, many other games I play on my PS5 Pro either don't look or feel noticeably better, or feature no improvements at all. It doesn't help that the PlayStation Store still lacks detailed information about what PS5 Pro enhancements are included in a given game. Sometimes I have to go digging around online to find a blog or Reddit post to determine what, if anything, has changed because I'm playing a game on PS5 Pro."
"I can confirm that after a year of use, the PS5 Pro hasn't given me any troubles. It runs quietly, still feels snappy to use, and hasn't broken in some other way. In comparison, my base PS5's USB-C port stopped working after just a few weeks. So at the very least, the PS5 Pro seems well-built and sturdy, which is nice, I guess. But is all of that worth $750?"
The PlayStation 5 Pro launched at a premium price and promised improved performance, visuals, and DLSS-like upscaling. Some games, such as Battlefield 6 and Death Stranding 2, run and look significantly better on the Pro, delivering higher framerates and sharper visuals. Many other titles show little or no perceptible enhancement. The PlayStation Store does not provide reliable, detailed information about which games include PS5 Pro-specific upgrades, forcing users to search external sources. The console has proven reliable, running quietly and remaining responsive after a year. Given the $750 price and uneven benefits across games, the purchase is difficult to justify for many buyers.
