My mother would be shocked at my actions this weekend. I ripped a brand-new PS5 Pro from the box, hooked it up, and sat three inches away from the screen for about eight hours straight. This is Sony’s big mid-cycle refresh, promising 67% more compute cores, 28% faster RAM, and 45% faster rendering - a party line of percentages that have had PS5 owners’ eyebrows raised for weeks.
It has three goals; hit smooth 4K 60fps gameplay, improve ray tracing with more details, and upscale games for better clarity. If those goals align with your own, this is the only PlayStation on the market for you. If you don’t already know that they do, your money is better spent elsewhere.
