With these essential accessories, the final cost climbs to **£825/$810**—a hefty sum, especially for players with an existing library of PS5 games.
However, the **PS5 Pro** boasts impressive features, packed with more than twice the storage of its predecessor and the ability to switch between stunning graphics mode and fluid framerate performance mode.
If you’re one of those gamers who appreciate top-notch graphics and high framerates, you may find that the extra cost could be justified. But before diving in, let’s take a closer look at the scant number of games currently benefiting from these enhancements.
As it stands, only twelve games are confirmed to receive **PS5 Pro enhancements**, with another on the way shortly after the console’s release. While some of these titles are fan favorites, the list isn’t extensive enough to offset the price hike over the original PS5, which launched at **£350/$310** less than the Pro.
Still, if you’re a die-hard **PlayStation** fan dreaming of smoother gameplay and breathtaking graphics, the **PS5 Pro** might just deliver what you’ve been waiting for. To help you decide if this console is worth your pre-order, here’s an overview of the confirmed games set to receive these enhancements.
