The PS5 Pro was announced this morning in a technical presentation hosted by Mark Cerny. The presentation was short and sweet, clocking in at under ten minutes, and covered details such as how the improved hardware will lead to tangible improvements in past and present games.
The launch details were also confirmed, so here’s what we know so far, including when you can get your money down on one.
WHEN IS THE PS5 PRO RELEASE DATE?
Sony announced this morning that the PS5 Pro will launch on November 7th, 2024, less than two months away.
HOW MUCH WILL THE PS5 PRO COST?
The PS5 Pro will cost $1,199 AUD in Australia and release on November 7th with pre-orders beginning on September 26th. This doesn’t include a disc drive, so we’ve done the price for both together as well (it can be purchased for $159 separately).
- PS5 Pro 2TB (Digital) – $1,199.95 AUD
- PS5 Pro 2TB with Disc Drive purchased separately- $1,360 AUD
WHEN IS THE PS5 PRO AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER?
Sony has announced that the pre-orders for the PS5 Pro will be available on September 26th at 10:00am AEST at participating retailers. An exact time hasn’t been revealed, but generally PlayStation pre-order events happen in the morning (normally 10am).
So far, EB Games is the only retailer to confirm that it will be taking pre-orders, but we’d be surprised if you couldn’t grab one from the likes of JB Hi-Fi, Amazon, Target, Big W, Kogan, Harvey Norman and everyone else you could get a PS5 from.
So a little over two weeks until you can pre-order. While you wait, it might be worth checking out the confirmed PS5 Pro enhanced games or the console itself. Don’t forget that the console itself doesn’t come with a disc drive, and has to be purchased separately.
