Just like the evolution from PS4 to PS4 Pro, this time from PS5 to PS5 Pro inevitably brings more powerful screen display capabilities. The most impressive thing is that TFLOPS has been enhanced by about 67%.

The biggest difference between PS5 Pro and the enhanced models so far is that “the disc drive is unplugged”, so the whole thing becomes lighter and thinner. At the same time, it subverts the past stereotype of “digital version = lightweight version” and also reflects the digital version. Sales have become the mainstream advantage, which also checks and balances the selling price of new machines.

(If all are added, in terms of Taiwan selling price, PS5 Pro + optical disc drive = NT$24,280+NT$3,680 = NT$27,960）

Wireless network standards, etc. Achieve better graphics and a faster and smoother gaming experience.

In the video part, in addition to the smoothness of the picture, environmental details such as grassland and town buildings can be seen with the naked eye with better and clearer lines and color expression. Videos recorded in different modes are also provided below for reference.

In addition, Hello Games, the developer of “No Man’s Sky”, released a video of the game that claims to be 8K quality, which can be used to confirm the overall performance.

It is currently known that 2025 is also the year for the explosion of masterpieces, including “Grand Theft Auto 6”, “Death Stranding 2: On the Shore”, “Fable”, “Monster Hunter Wilds”… have all announced their release schedules . Before the next battlefield arrives, Sony digs out a PS5 Pro card to deal with it. The PS5 Pro is indeed within the expected range. Through actual hardware enhancement, it can bring players the next level of advanced experience.

The layout of PS5 Pro seems reasonable, but the issue Sony faces next is not only whether to strengthen the product, but the business strategy of the entire brand. Therefore, before PS5 Pro can actually affect market share, Sony seems to have to come up with a sensible strategy to gain more opportunities in the middle and later stages of PS5’s life cycle.
