THE PS5 Pro is currently the talk of the town, as everyone is discussing whether it’s worth the high asking price.
If you’re not in the know, it’s £700/$700 without items that used to be available out of the box, namely the disc drive and stand.

When you include the price of these pretty necessary accessories, you’re looking at £825/$810 to play the PS5 games you probably already own.
However, the PS5 Pro offers more than twice the storage of the original console, and the fidelity of graphics mode with the framerate of performance mode.
For those who care about how their games look and think the PS5 just isn’t cutting it anymore, then it might be worth the high price tag.
That is until you realise that so far there are only twelve games that will receive PS5 Pro enhanced editions, though one more will be ready shortly after the console is released.
Looking at the list, they are some of the most popular games available on the PS5, but it’s not a particularly long list when you are considering the price increase.
It’s a massive £350/$310 more than the original PS5 was at launch, which is enough to get you a Nintendo Switch or Xbox Series S and a few games to go with it.
However, if PlayStation is your console of choice and you always wanted to play your favourite games with a smooth framerate and the best graphics, then the PS5 Pro could be for you.
If you want to be better informed before you decide whether to pre-order or not, here’s all the games that have been confirmed for enhancements on the PS5 Pro.
