Enhanced PS5 Gaming Performance

The PS5 Pro is built around a custom AMD Ryzen Zen 2 8-core/16-thread CPU paired with an enhanced AMD Radeon RDNA-based graphics engine rated at 16.7 TFLOPS.

The upgraded graphics architecture gives developers more performance to work with, particularly when balancing high-resolution graphics, ray tracing and smoother frame rates. 

PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution – PSSR

One of the defining features of PS5 Pro is PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR).

PSSR uses AI-based image reconstruction to enhance image clarity while allowing games to run at higher performance levels. On supported titles, this can provide sharp 4K presentation without sacrificing as much frame-rate performance.

Sony has also introduced an upgraded generation of PSSR that improves image stability, fine detail and overall reconstruction quality in supported games. 

Advanced Ray Tracing

PS5 Pro provides enhanced hardware-accelerated ray tracing, allowing compatible games to produce more sophisticated reflections, shadows and lighting.

The exact improvement depends on how individual developers optimize their games for PS5 Pro.

4K Gaming at High Frame Rates

With compatible games and displays, the PS5 Pro can deliver 4K output at 60fps or up to 120fps, while supported titles can simultaneously use ray tracing and PSSR.

This makes the console particularly attractive for gamers using modern 4K 120Hz TVs and gaming monitors. 

2TB Custom SSD

The PS5 Pro comes standard with a 2TB custom SSD, providing significantly more built-in storage than earlier base PS5 configurations.

The high-speed SSD also enables the fast loading and asset streaming associated with the PlayStation 5 platform.

A portion of the 2TB capacity is reserved for system software and other console functions, so the full 2TB is not available for game installation. 

Expandable M.2 SSD Storage

If the built-in storage isn’t enough, the PS5 Pro includes an M.2 SSD expansion connector.

A compatible M.2 NVMe SSD can therefore be installed to provide additional space for games without relying exclusively on external USB storage.

PS5 Pro Game Boost

PS5 Pro Game Boost can improve performance in selected PS5 and backwards-compatible PS4 games.

Sony states that PS5 Pro can play more than 8,500 PS4 games, with Game Boost capable of delivering faster or smoother frame rates in selected titles. 

PS5 Pro Enhanced Games

Developers can release updates specifically designed to take advantage of the additional PS5 Pro performance.

Supported games carry the PS5 Pro Enhanced designation and may offer improvements such as:

• Higher image quality
• Higher or more stable frame rates
• Enhanced ray tracing
• PSSR image reconstruction
• Improved graphical settings

The exact enhancements vary from game to game.

16GB GDDR6 + 2GB DDR5 Memory

The PlayStation 5 Pro features:

• 16GB GDDR6 memory
• 2GB DDR5 memory

The additional system memory helps the console manage background operating-system functions while allowing its high-speed GDDR6 memory to focus more heavily on gaming workloads. 

Wi-Fi 7 Connectivity

The PS5 Pro supports Wi-Fi 7, providing access to increased wireless bandwidth, reduced latency and improved connection stability when paired with a compatible Wi-Fi 7 router.

It remains compatible with Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5 networks. Wired Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is also available. 

DualSense Wireless Controller

A DualSense Wireless Controller is included with the PS5 Pro.

DualSense features include:

• Haptic feedback
• Adaptive triggers
• Built-in microphone
• Motion sensors
• Integrated speaker
• Create button
• USB-C charging

Compatible games can use haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to provide more immersive physical feedback during gameplay.

Disc Drive Sold Separately

The standard PS5 Pro is supplied as a disc-less console.

Players who want to use compatible physical PS5 and PS4 discs can purchase the compatible Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive for PS5 separately and attach it to the console. 

This is important when comparing the PS5 Pro with standard PS5 Disc Edition packages.

Tempest 3D AudioTech

PS5 Pro supports the PlayStation 5 platform’s Tempest 3D AudioTech, providing more spatially detailed audio with compatible games and audio equipment.

This can make it easier to perceive the direction and position of sounds within supported game environments.
