Description
The PS5 Pro is a mid-generation upgrade to the PlayStation 5. Sony gave it a GPU with 67% more compute units and memory that runs 28% faster, which together allow up to 45% faster rendering. Ray tracing runs at two to three times the speed of the standard console, and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution uses AI upscaling to sharpen the image. It ships with a 2TB SSD and Wi-Fi 7, but without a disc drive.

Who the PS5 Pro is for
The Pro is for players who own a 4K TV, care about smoother frame rates and want ray tracing without sacrificing performance. Many PS4 titles also benefit from Game Boost. Players with a 1080p TV, or those who mainly buy physical games and do not want to add a separate disc drive, will get better value from the standard PS5.
What to check before buying a new PS5 Pro on eBay
- Look for a factory-sealed box; consoles are tied to PlayStation accounts and opened units may have been registered.
- Confirm whether the listing includes the optional disc drive; most Pro bundles do not.
- Prefer a North American model for easier warranty support in the US and Canada.
- Check the seller’s handling time and insured shipping, given the console’s weight and value.
- Read our guide on the best time to buy electronics on eBay if you can wait for a deal.
PS5 Pro FAQ
Does the PS5 Pro have a disc drive?
No. It is disc-less out of the box. The PS5 disc drive, sold separately, attaches to add Ultra HD Blu-ray support.
Will my PS5 games work on the PS5 Pro?
Yes. It plays PS5 games and backward-compatible PS4 games, and titles with Pro patches get enhanced visuals.
Does it need a special TV?
No, but its improvements are designed for 4K TVs. VRR and 120Hz modes need a TV that supports them.
