It’s been about two weeks since Sony finally unveiled the PS5 Pro, and all the processing power improvements that came with it. In that short time, the console is now available for pre-order, as are bundles for the Anniversary Editions, assuming Sony makes more of the latter.
PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Pre-Order Time and Tips
Unfortunately for fans of the PSOne aesthetic, all of Sony’s anniversary products are currently sold out. That includes the PS5 Pro Anniversary Edition bundle, the PS5 Digital Edition Slim Anniversary console bundle, the DualSense Edge Anniversary Edition, and the PlayStation Portal Anniversary Edition. All of these products sport a dark gray look with colorful buttons, in the style of the original PlayStation console. And all of these products have already been claimed by eager Sony fans.
To be clear, these are all the exact same products as their counterparts: the PS5 Slim Anniversary Edition is no different than the standard model, while the Anniversary Edition DualSense Edge controller functions the same as the regular one. The console bundle does come with some nice accessories, like a charging cable that makes the controller's plug look like it's come from the PSOne. However, it plays the same games as the standard PlayStation 5, so if you don't care for the aesthetic changes, that's about the only thing that's really new here.
While you wait for Sony to potentially make more of these products available, you can still pre-order the new PS5 Pro. Sony hasn't released any official specs yet, but during its announcement video the company said that the new console will have an upgraded GPU that can run more games at 4K 60 fps, with more ray tracing effects. The Pro will also use something called PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), which uses AI to upscale the visuals in your games. Existing titles optimized for the console include Alan Wake 2, Assassin's Creed: Shadows, Demon's Souls, Dragon's Dogma 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Gran Turismo 7, Hogwarts Legacy, Horizon Forbidden West, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, The Crew Motorfest, The First Descendant, and The Last of Us Part II Remastered.
