As excitement builds for the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro, fans can finally start marking their calendars for the preorder windows! Priced at $699.99, the coveted PS5 Pro will be available for preorder in the U.S. beginning at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT through Sony's PlayStation Direct storefront. Make sure to have your PlayStation Network login ready if you want to secure one!

In addition to the PS5 Pro, several exciting products will simultaneously launch for preorder. This includes the limited-edition 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro bundle priced at $999.99, the PS5 Digital Edition slim at $499.99, PlayStation Portal at $219.99, as well as DualSense ($79.99) and DualSense Edge controllers ($219.99).

If you miss out on the initial preorder, don’t worry! Other major retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and Amazon will begin their preorders on October 10th. It's anticipated that with the renewed interest, the PS5 Pro preorders may sell out quickly, similar to the frenzy seen during the pandemic's onset.

What Makes the PS5 Pro Special?

The PS5 Pro promises enhanced graphics and performance that can dramatically improve gaming experiences. While it may not come with a disc drive (which can be purchased separately), it offers groundbreaking features: a new GPU, AI upscaling technology, and improved ray tracing capabilities that promise seamless 4K resolution gaming at 60 frames per second in select titles. Hardcore gamers, particularly fans of exclusives like "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth," might find this upgrade irresistible as the console seeks to maximize performance.
