Hands-On with PlayStation 5 Pro!

- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- We go hands-on with the new PlayStation 5 Pro, checking out the differences in supported games between their standard and Performance Pro modes. What does the extra GPU clock speed and PSSR upscaling actually mean for gameplay? And even if the promises of no-compromise performance is delivered, why does the PS5 Pro still feel like a weird product?

Thanks for watching!
Buying a stand is like purchasing seatbelts for your new car...
@@doric_historic pretty dumb analogy try again
Buying a new car should not require you to also purchase the seatbelts...
@@doric_historic try again
It comes with a stand for horizontal placement, just not for vertical.
I have still to find a PS5 in the vertical position outside of a game show floor where they are specifically advertising the console.
7:25 The standard PS4 supports HDR.
Sony is testing the waters for PS6. If we buy the Pro for this outrageous price they will start the 6 at a minimum of $700 to $900 for the basic model then more with add ons. Since they have no competition and we are addicts they will continue to gouge us with prices and give free ones to celebrities or influencers like this channel (which I love btw) but it’s a sloppy slope
You realize ps5 was sold at loss right ?
Did you asked Sony if they had any new games? Or just more PS4 remastered games.
We hear you, and here's God of War 2018 Remastered!!
They should do a Playstation Challenge, kind of like the Pepsi Challenge back in the 80s. Let people play without telling them which console version they are using to see if they can tell which one it is. I bet they can't.
idk man have you tried games on graphics mode ? horizon forbidden west i noticed it most where i couldn’t play it on graphics mode and the performance mode was a SIGNIFICANT down grade…. on graphics mode i swear i was getting 20 fps average 30 most and like 10 worst 😂
note: i am gaming on a 55 inch tv which i sit a meter/3ft away from so i notice graphics especially….
This is the best DVD player.
Sony is an infuriating company, too big and bound by clueless committees to care about or understand people who enthusiastically buy their stuff. Those same buyers look over this fact, and keep encouraging them.
Unfortunate the only people who will get value from this are the scalpers.
The regular pro is widely still available
There’s plenty of ps5 pros still on PlayStation direct
It’s not 2020 anymore. They’re going to be very available.
Yea sorry, playstation bootlickers. I should have been more clear I was referring to the 1000$ special edition that "sold out instantly by hard-core fans" part.
@@LethologicaGaminglol
They will keep doing this until people stop buying what has become an inferior product since you can buy a comparable PC at their price points now that graphics cards have come back to earth in prices. They sell these for middle class kids who's parents will buy them what they want.
Good luck finding a pc that does 4k 60fps for 700 😂 much less one that uses less power and costs less $ for electricity
PC's are still more expensive and I don't want one. A gaming PC doesn't fit in my living room entertainment unit, I don't want it having a little LED disco, and more importantly it doesn't have a single one of the games I am currently playing on my PS5.
This year Sony added Go Faster Stripes!
It's bound to make it faster...
So it's finally time to buy a PS 4 Pro.
Concord failed so sony added 200$ more on the price tag😂
100 dollars more tbh. The pro ssd is 1 gb more and the hardware is more advance then base model.
Sony put 200 million into concord. Concord before Sony bought it already invested 200 million. This doesn't effect anything.
So true.gotta recoup that 400 million 😂😂
@@prodigalbrock sure
@@prodigalbrockthat $400m number going around is not true btw
Setting aside the ludicrous price of the PS5 pro and the fact SONY won't even give you a vertical stand after forking out 700 bucks, it is clear how gaming companies don't want players to own the games they buy after all the recent attempts at moving the industry to digital-only releases of games and, now, consoles.
If you don't own the games you buy, you won't be able to play them if the servers shut down or if they are pulled from the online store; if your account gets closed, stolen or banned, you lose access to all your library of games; if a friend owns a game you want to play, you won't be able to simply borrow their disk, forcing you to either buy it digitally or not play it at all.
Right now I can grab my PS2 and play any game I want by simply inserting the disk. Say I bought the digital version of Insomniac's Spiderman, how can I possibly play it, say, 20 years from now if they pulled it from the store and there is no way to download it?
You can OWN a disk, but a digital download? You're at the corporation's mercy.
I don't get why everyone is up in arms about the stand.There hasn't been a single playstation console that has come with the stand for free. the PS2, ps3 ,ps4 ps4 pro and ps5 all had stands sold separately.
@@jfrosty121exactly and I’ve had my original PS5 stood up without a stand since launch without issues, the only thing I can say is it should’ve been $650 with the disc drive included
Ps5 was sold at a loss…your disc can be broken, stolen, scratched, your disk drive can break. This is a luxury console Sony isn’t forcing you to buy it to play any games 🤡
This. Thank you. Do most people who own consoles buy the updated version too? That's ridiculous. Build it, and people will come and complain 😑
@@jfrosty121 they shouldn't even sell a stand, the liquid metal pools away from the cpu making the cooling so much worse.
Not worth it, money grab from Sony.
A few more sharp pixels in the background is hardly noticable when actually playing a game; especially not from a real 'couch distance' instead of upfront, nor meaningful without a CPU update to address CPU-bound game-limitations most recent games suffer from. Definitely not worth $200 + $180 + $30 extra compared to a regular PS5 imho. All it does, is make the older console look like a better deal ... They brag about 'fidelity mode', yet 60fps or even better - as really common on the PC for years now - high FPS rates are not even announced for their big AAA game-titles. And that for almost $400 more if you want to keep playing your physical games/media !!!
Damn, I would have loved the controller in my collection , especially considering I have the PS1 styled PS4 controller. I think we can all agree on one thing: Scalpers can go fu ck themselves! ❤
It's not worth the extra $$
To you
To you
That retro colors lookin nice but I'm not buying one
To you
It will be for GTA6
No thank you. Not worth it.
Too expensive. Next vid...
Shout out to the channel 'videogamedunkey' who did a humorous comparison of the regular ps5 and this.
to put it bluntly; the difference is like skim vs 1% milk.
can they not just make a simple black box that lies flat and has a built-in disc drive?
Nothing like wasting money on a brand new console with basically no improvements, no ability to play physical media and no games that will have to be soon replaced by PS6.
If you want to waste so much money on consoles, just get a PC already. On the long run it's way cheaper than having to constantly bye new consoles. With pc you just replace a single part or two whenever you want.
Speaking of wasting money, what about everyone that spends $1k+ every single year on the latest and greatest cell phone? That, is wasting money.
Wait till gta 6 comes out ,how much are these pc gods going need to pay to make that run lol
@@JTube571 It's not "everyone". But indeed among young people, it is very widespread or people who want to look good like a handbag or a jacket. Fortunately, as we grow up, we understand better what is really worth spending money on.
Society is not used to criticizing the real quality of products, more to their design and power propaganda (like cars). Some phones meet other requirements, such as durability. In 10 years, I have only changed my phone once with always an unbreakable one. (I am a repairman in France) From Runbo X5 to Doogee S88Pro. The previous one had become obsolete, apart from that, it is still perfect after 5 years literally sitting on it. Not to mention the autonomy, which are jokes among the big brands, all this to make phones, thin, but totally absurd and fragile.
But it's cultural over all.
here comes the PC fans telling everyone what they should do with their money.
Constantly buy a new console every 8-12 years LOL. It lasts longer then both a computer and a phone
the price is a JOKE. £700 in the UK????? HAHAHAHHA That's over $930!!!!!
And in Canada it's nearly over 1100$
Nope
Ugh
Not worth the $700 price tag especially when they REMOVE a disc drive... its a pro system so add to it not SUBTRACT from it. Also probably why it's still up on PS Direct for preorder.
Why is everyone whining about a disc drive? All games are downloaded these days. And it’s not like a disc drive would add $200 in value lol
@@chrisking6695 Gee let’s see with physical media you own it, it’s in your hands. Let alone being a movie buff I actually use the drive to watch Blu-ray’s and 4K discs because I want to watch my movies in the highest quality over streaming. And again I own my movies when I buy them in physical format.
And when you buy say an iPhone Pro model for more money does apple remove features over the regular cheaper model? No. I’ve been with Sony since the PS one days and this kind of crap makes me loose trust in them being a long time loyal gamer and costumer.
They’re trying to push what they can get away with and it’s just not cool.
@chrisking6695 disc drives are over $150... Why would you pay the exact same amount of money for a digital product as a physical one? It makes no sense. You can't refund, trade in or lend your digital games. Stop being complicit in trying to get rid if the physical medium when it only benefits corporations and not consumers.
@@chrisking6695 Physical media is still superior in terms of value.
@chrisking6695 because they're taking your Liberty away from you being able to profit by selling your used games. Its pure greed on Sony's part by removing the disc drive... you cant purchase used games
I’d still recommend to sit on PS4 Pro
The PS4 Pro always sounded like it was trying to take off. If you don't want a PS5 Pro, the based PS5 is a much more pleasant experience than the PS4 Pro.
700$.....
Better off just spending an extra 600 and getting a PC which has more to offer and unlimited customization
$1380 with disc drive In Australia 😂
@Hongobogologomo Exactly, I don't even have a PS5. Why bother when I just got a brand new pc.
@Huda88754 Here in Canada Land, it's definitely going to be closer to that price, too. It's probably gonna be over $1000 for the basic model.
@@potterinhe11 Some of us play games that are not available on PC. Like Gran Turismo.
Grey plastic = Profit
Biggest sham in awhile.
I don't know, they sold the base model at a loss on release, it seems fair for them to sell the pro at a premium.
Sorry, you guys misspelled """""""8K"""""""". The hardware is not capable of rendering games at 8K without upscaling. The only "Pro" thing about it is the grift. It is an $800 pile.
So Norm... Where did you get that Super7 shirt? I can't seem to find it.
Shill Content.
This product is a scam. Don't buy it!
For people playing on 1080P, Ofcourse it's not gonna be worth it - However myself included that got a 77¨ LG2 4K OLED, and notice stuttering quite often, and every game I have, I have to play on performancemode for it not to become a stutterfest. The price is a lot yes, but if you can sell your old PS5, it's not thaat bad. Would be nice to use the TV to its true performance without adjusting the PS5 graphic-settings
Exactly. I just bought a 4k hdr monitor this week, and it seems like my playstation is really struggling to keep up with the regular frames I would have at 1080p. If you play on 1080p, I completely agree it may not be worth the upgrade since the 1080p 60/120hz run mostly fine.
Buying for gta 6 button here 👇🏻
So as pointless as the last 3 Pro upgrades…. Or are all the talentless freaks in the comments just gonna pretend that you never had to buy the pro version now or then? And if you have any talent at all when it comes to shopping you can find at or even sub $400 Ps5. This price only effect efftivly the mindless consumers that blow all their money, know they blow all their money and still want to blow all their money.
Ask your boss at the gas station for a raise
1:18 lol...even base model of PS5 "supported" 8K, until it didn't.
The turist run in 8k
The reason I believe the price of the PS5 Pro is $700 is due to it having a 2tb hard drive. This would technically be on par to the series x being $500 when it released and the 1tb expansion card for the Xbox series X being $200. I think the PS5 Pro could have been somewhere in the $550 range but the extra capacity for the hard drive is what raises the price to $700.
Everyone who bought a 30th anniversary PS5 Pro like this comment.
& If you’re not gonna scalp it, leave a comment.
This should have debuted at the original ps5 price. Then the original priced lower. Breaking not only the tradition but the promise of opening the platform to a larger audience that sells more copies of games for simply a CPU upgrade is a huge miscalculated decision by Sony by a seemingly very inexperienced and badly trained marketing and engineering team who are certainly more for-profit corporate heads at any cist to consumer than actual fans and consumers of games themselves.
@@jayce8001 ps5 was sold at a loss 🤡
@@rahb2096 Most consoles are and are supposed to make it back in software sales. Those get a price reduction anyway. Low software sales are likely a factor in Sony not lowering the price of the base model.
Even if the PS5 Pro supports (upscaled) 8K resolution, it won't matter unless you have an 8K TV/monitor which is not likely considering how cost ineffective they are at the moment. What they need to do is have locked 60 fps with 4K (native or upscaled).
I never was able to get a PS5 so the PS5 Pro is what I'll be getting.
What I want to know is if the PS5 Pro still has the single expandable storage slot or if it has 2.
I do feel like the PS5 Pro is mainly for enthusiasts and for those that never got the PS5. If you have the PS5 or PS5 Slim, the PS5 Pro might not be the best choice.
If companies want to shift to all digital, they need to have a better refund/trade in system for consoles. There's also the issue of games requiring more and more storage and the price per GB on NVMe drives are still expensive.
On the PS6, I would guess we're gonna see 1 SKU that is digital only with the option to buy a disc drive. I also think we might see PlayStation selling upgrade modules instead of doing a full blown PS6 Pro. So maybe it'd be modular components for an APU and RAM that is easy to install. I hope they they go away from soldered on storage.
It’s…..gray
Just remember ps5 slim digital is 440. It also does 4k, it has 60 fps and even 120 fps on cod. The ps5 gives u a 30 fps mode and the pro doesnt have 30fps it is now 4k 60 fps on old games. Not a big upgrade at all. If u have a ps5 rn. Put on fidelity and stand still then switch back. U wont find a difference worth 800 bucks
Yay 750 bucks for more remastered games we've already played! Can stop with the dogshit product placement now.
I am sick of the forced negative slant just to be in line with popular media. It's a worthy upgrade for people who want to spend the extra. I think the tech is great and does what it needs. For the disc drive tho they need to get every inch of pushback they can get. Physical media needs to stay.
I'm still playing in my PS4 and my Vita !!!!! The PS5 I will buy when my PS4 ever dies . I've called it Methusuala.
This is just so odd to me - i switched to PC gaming years ago and basically left consoles behind. this was mainly for the versatility of options, and because i enjoyed the hobby of building them. I always felt if I was to move away from pc back to consoles, it would be for the simplicity of not needing to worry about graphics settings and fps and whatnot - so your telling me we're turning consoles into cheapo pc knockoffs now.
PS4 Pro and switching PS4 playing Doom 2016 at the time, really helped with game play.
They could’ve at least upgraded to zen 3 or 4. To keep the same cpu is just insulting on top of the no disc drive and stand.
Developers are rethinking exclusivity because the base model wasn’t selling well enough and then Sony pulls this.
At least it’ll be funny when scalpers buy up these and can’t move them.
Bought PS1-4 when they came out PS5 I could find no reason for purchasing. I want 1 but hardly any games for it. My son bought one it sits unused.
Sony claims a lot, but even high end PCs worth many times with more power can't do the level of performance they are claiming.
Not worth it, not remotely.
PlayStation is recycling the same ps4 to ps5. When the ps5 came out zero new games zero quality of the high definition
Beautiful! too bad Sony chose just to hand them to scalpers could have implemented a lottery system was looking forward to one.
I just bought a 4k monitor this week. Moving up from a 1080p 24" and i can definitely feel my playatation is struggling to run the same framerate in the games i like to play.
So the benefit of upgrading is you might get 60fps while including ray tracing! So if you’re happy with performance mode on PS5 already there is little point upgrading.
Thing is, the AMD CPU and GPU in use aren't expensive, there's some money in the unified memory in use, but really, in the volumes they are purchasing these components these systems are massively overpriced.
Have two day 1 PS5. 1 of 2 unit isn't in use or open at all, plus Monster Hunter Rise Switch not use either so traded both in to cut down the cost of PS5 Pro (not the 30th Anniversary Edition) at local Gamestop. Hey, if I have too many to date console and not in use and able to trade-in for good value to cut cost down for a new one, I said why not.
Thats just a way to get more money from the consumer, why all the sudden stop selling the only digital with the one with the disc drive smh
700 dollars is the american price. I had to spend just that much for a slim model. The pro is about 1050 USd over here
seeing the playstation logo colored in the thumbnail made me think "wow what an appealing design! reminds me of ps1!" alas, it is monochrome as can be.
Yay! That means the Gen 1 with built in disc drives will be cheaper. If I get a PS5 that’s the one
Its dumb theres no 4k bluray drive for the “BEST” at homethetre
I love my ps5, it has a bluray player built in, so it’s my entertainment hub. A) gotta have physical media B) there’s not many games for it, so i’ll pass on this pro
Ps6 will have a detachable ssd at this rate and no optional disc drive - hopefully Sony learns a lesson from ps5 pro having poor sales
I was able to buy the PS5 Pro & 30th Anniversary PS Portal
So where is the footage? You jut talked about the Pro for 11 mins and almost didnt show us much of it. You prob had a lot of footage please upload that for us to see the comparison shots.
I play COD on my PS5 on a 120” projector😂as if I’d notice a few more bits
The main reason it sold out at those types of prices would be due to scalpers, not general consumers. This has to be kept in mind
What's even worse, is that on-top of the PS5 Pro being it's absurd price, Sony is selling the disc drive as a detachable adapter for a premium (An additional 80 dollars, and they're already sold out and going on eBay for 2-250)
They might be on eBay but Sony has plenty of them so they keep flooding stores with them, thats one for the scalpers to lose. It did make it easier for Sony the digital version is the default SKU now.
Not a native 8k.
It's not necessary
Yeah, totally time to set up multiple display panels to appreciate the not obvious pro and feel good with the purchase
All that “upgrade” and you lose the disc drive and still no optical out???
The ps5 pro …. an excuse for bad programming. Great.
The 30 anniversary edition was sold out in seconds to scalper. Thanks sony.
Sony owns Blu Ray. What were they thinking?!
Always enjoy seeing Norm in a Tested video. I miss "This is Only a Test."
Next : God of War Ragnarok Remastered, Spiderman 2 remastered
It's cool. It's not 700 bucks not including a disc drive or stand cool.
I jumped off the PS5 train after like a year of never even seeing one in a store near me.
Console games getting proper shafted just move to PC
My wallet is happy this was not a must upgrade.
200%
None of the Pro version in the past were a must have upgrade.
I'm not a fan of digital only like when it got forced on the PC space and many voiced we wanted blu-ray games for PC then where ignored. So if the PS6 doesn't come with a media drive im done with consoles this generation as I already have a machine that does what a PS6 could do then.
See ya you won’t be missed 😂
Nice iPhone 16 review.
Save the money and put it toward a gaming PC.
Wow!!! I know rendering is cool. But how much realistic do we need to get? I’m a gamer from the Attarii 2600. lol those were giant pixels in box shape! And we had fun! I remember after Nintendo we drooled at the graphics! Then Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis, then Nintendo 64 then Panasonic then Sony PlayStation & Xbox arrived! Every generation of graphics got better! I think we are pretty great! Where I think they need to focus on is making great games! More new and fun games! No remastering great classics but making new fun games that will become classics! Better games beats that it looks like I’m in a real car shining in the sun. If the game is no fun it gets put away no matter how realistic it looked or captured the beam of the sun on the grass! As for not supporting blu rays, eliminating disc has been their agenda for years! No more buying second hand used games or sharing games. It’s also happening with blu ray movies!
Graphics rendering has stalled a wee bit the last decade. I would love to see another jump like the old systems where ether next console makes the current ones look positively obsolete. As for eliminating the disc drive, while I don't doubt killing the second hand market is on the agenda, it seems to be more consumer preference. I have a collection of games on disc for the PS4 and PS5 but I would frankly prefer I had bought them digitally now since I got a 2.5 Gbps internet connection. Swapping from one digital game to another is easy. Swapping to a game with a physical disc means actually going to the shelf to find the disc and swap it. Sure it's only a few minutes, but that friction sometimes means I end up just playing what's in the drive. I would love for Sony to offer a way to register physical purchases to your account.
In the promo video, the difference between the games shown on the PS5 and the Pro version was so minimal that I think the price is too high. I'll stick with the "normal" PS5, and if I didn't have one yet, I'd buy one on the used market now. I've seen some for under $300. A good price
Digital foundry has already shown it’s a huge improvement but keep being a 🤡
Norman has been getting all the good stuff to do this week what with meta too
price is 849€ in finland and without disc ? 😅
I don't buy physical games anymore and generally buy games when on sale on PSN. But I still value a blu ray drive for films. It's disappointing that they didn't include a drive as base sku. It would have been nice if they could offer a bundle where you get the drive included for a discounted price.
Well it's £100 if you want a disc drive later and don't have a UHD player.
Consoles suck to buy at launch cause they have almost no games. So if you where waiting for the ps5 pro to upgrade from your ps4 then its been 8-12 years and it will be another 8 years before you upgrade again. Worth the price if u dont have a ps5 yet
Not only that but developers haven't even leveraged the hardware that we have now. They're just obsessed with ray traced reflections and relying on upscalers and frame gen to do their job. Console players are finally waking up to the fact that frame rate is more important and everything is already up resed.
It coulda been tht size from get-go $$$ grab
