The PS5 Pro, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s new mid-generation console, was officially announced. It will launch on November 7, 2024, at the surprising price of 799.99 euros (700 pounds). However, in some cases, that price is likely to increase!
Yes, because the PS5 Pro will first be released in the All Digital model only, so you’ll need to add an extra cost if you want to include the Blu-ray player (installable) and/or the vertical stand. Let’s break it down:
- PlayStation 5 Pro + Blu-ray player (price 120 euros) will cost 920 euros
- PlayStation 5 Pro + vertical stand (30 euros) will cost 830 euros
- PlayStation 5 Pro + Blu-ray player + vertical stand will force gamers to spend 950 euros
So, to get the complete package, gamers will be nearing the 1000 euro mark (850 pounds!), which is quite hefty for a mid-gen console.
Additionally, it’s important to note that the price will jump from 399.99 euros for the PlayStation 5 All-Digital to 799.99 euros for the PS5 Pro (without accessories). That’s a price hike of 400 euros. Whether it’s worth it will only be clear once we have the new hardware in our hands. For now, we can only say that the console’s cost is significantly high and will likely be out of reach for many.
