So got mine, and have voted Neutral for the time being, but I'm sure things will change once Death Stranding 2 & GTA VI Come out. Tested a fair few games and It's a bit underwhelming if I'm being honest. PSVR2 sees the biggest improvement imo, so happy with that at least. I already have a PC that can beat the pro, so maybe I'm a tad biased though. The PS4 upscaling filter is horrible too. Ah well, I bought myself the Timesplitters trilogy, that will keep me going until June I guess. £699 to play PS2 games

Which PS5 games did you try?

Honest opinion it’s ok for a console. My kids love it and they see the difference so I’m happy

I don't have many because I'm mainly on PC thesedays, but have tried Astro Bot, RE4, Darksiders 2, Spiderman Remastered, and GT7. RE4 is the best out of all of them imo, GT7 has some weird shimmer to the image which I can only put down to PSSR maybe? I think I've been spoilt by DLSS4 tbh

Yeah, coming from higher end PC to PS5 Pro isn't going to have the impact as with those who are upgrading from base PS5. Personally, I wouldn't own a PS5 at all at this point if it were not for Pro. Third party games have looked like crap and there just hasn't been enough first party games for my liking. I've played Dragon's Dogma 2 and Space Marine 2 on PS5, Pro and PC. DLSS is still the best upscaler around and that isn't going to change, but PSSR did a damn good job on Pro with those games. Will play AC Shadows next week on Pro so we will see how that goes. I'm looking forward to see how Death Stranding 2 looks as well.

It's miles better than base PS5, don't get me wrong. I decided to get one now whilst the resale value for the old PS5 was still pretty decent. Tempted to get PS Plus for a few months to replay Demon's Souls. I cant justify buying a disc drive for the 2 games I bought the console for.

It's most gathering dust right now and I bought it before the PC port of Rebirth was announced. The only reason I haven't sold it is because I'm still not sure whether VII Part 3 is going to be exclusive or not and I want to play that game D1, so I'll hang onto it just in case as I know I'll get a really good experience from the Pro (over the base PS5) as well when that game is released.

There's also a couple of exclusives I would be interested in checking out as well in the meantime.

Okay okay, GT7 without pssr, with raytracing and at 120hz really shows off what the pro can do. Magnificent stuff.

When part 3 comes out maybe the PS6 will launch or near it´s launch. If i were you i would sell the PS5 Pro and wait play VII Part 3 on PS6.

Remember we can't check if you really own one in this poll so the numbers are likely skewed against the PS5 pro. Actual owners are unlikely to say they are satisfied if they are not meaning we can't cheat the other way. Meaning that the PS5 pro is loved by those who purchase it without much of a caveat. Considering the cost of the device these are incredible reviews. Show me other products with similar approval ratings.

It has a 4.3 out of 5 rating on amazon, fwiw (851 votes).

I've probably used it for a total of one hour just to see the Stellar Blade Nier DLC. I saw a marked improvement but I mostly play on PC so... it's collecting dust until Death Stranding 2.
