On sale for $649 (regularly $699.99), as part of Sony’s “Days of Play” deals event, the PlayStation 5 Pro (Digital Edition) gaming console is available right now on Amazon.
The PS5 Pro is designed for better performance with high refresh rate 4K TVs and gaming monitors with enhanced AI-upscaled Ultra HD video output of up to 120Hz. This means games will look and move smoother and more fluid without lag or giving up video quality.
The new gaming console also features advance ray tracing, which means in-game reflections, shadows and illuminations will look more realistic with stunning graphics. This adds to the game’s immersion, so it feels more true to life.

All PS5 games — including Astro Bot, Gran Turismo 7, Horizon Forbidden West, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, The Last of Us, Part II and more — are compatible with the PS5 Pro, which doubles storage capacity from 1TB to 2TB on-board. The gaming console also featured faster Wi-Fi connectivity for quicker downloads, cloud gaming play and data transfers.
The PS5 Pro comes with Sony’s PS DualSense Wireless Controller, which is the best gaming controller for detailed haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. However, if you’d like to add a 4K Ultra HD disc drive, it goes for an additional $79.99. Moreover, a vertical stand for the system goes for a $29.99 add-on.
While the PS5 Pro is made for playing video games, the new console is also an entertainment hub with all sorts of streaming services. It even includes access to Spotify, Apple Music and others for listening to thousands of recording artists — like Beyoncé, Chappell Roan, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Pom Pom Squad, Hippo Campus, Turnstile and more — when playing your favorite games.
In addition, all PS5 accessories — such as the PS Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds, PS Pulse Elite Wireless Gaming Headset, PS Portal, PSVR2 Headset and PS Access Controller — work with the PS5 Pro.
With “Days of Play 2025,” the Sony PlayStation 5 Pro is on sale for $649 (regularly $699.99) on Amazon. In the meantime, watch the console reveal trailer, below:
