Our Take
A refurbished version of Sony's top-tier current-generation console, the PS5 Pro Digital Edition offers enhanced GPU performance over the standard PS5 without a disc drive. The 2TB internal SSD gives ample storage headroom. Aimed at enthusiasts who want the best PlayStation experience and are comfortable buying certified-renewed hardware to offset the premium price.
Key Features
Enhanced GPU with roughly 45% more compute units than the standard PS5, targeting improved frame rates and ray tracing
2TB internal NVMe SSD, doubling the standard PS5's storage capacity
No disc drive — digital downloads and PlayStation Store purchases only
Supports 4K upscaling via PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), Sony's AI-based image reconstruction
Wi-Fi 7 support for faster, lower-latency wireless connectivity
Compatible with the full PS5 software library and backwards-compatible with the vast majority of PS4 titles
Our Verdict
Best suited to committed PlayStation players who want the highest performance available on the platform and are happy going fully digital. Those who value physical media, want full warranty protection, or are occasional gamers will find the standard PS5 — new or renewed — a more sensible and cost-effective choice.
