The PS5 Pro will be available with more than 50 enhanced Games at launch, Sony announced

The PlayStation 5 Pro is just about to hit shelves, with an official release date set for November 7. For anyone debating the idea of investing $700 in this mid-cycle console update, Sony has released a list of over 50 games that will feature enhanced versions when the new console launches this week. The lineup includes recent hits like Baldur’s Gate 3, The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and God of War Ragnarök. Additionally, newer titles such as NBA 2K25 and Dragon Age: The Veilguard are set to benefit from the PS5 Pro’s upgraded capabilities. Overall, it’s a solid lineup to kick off the new system’s life.

This latest version of Sony’s console promises various graphical upgrades, including enhanced ray tracing, smoother frame rates, and the newly introduced PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution for superior upscaling. However, a few notable titles haven’t made it onto the list of launch-ready enhanced games. Gran Turismo 7, although an updated version was previously announced, is still missing from this initial lineup, possibly due to development delays. Other popular titles like Final Fantasy XVI, which has experienced frame rate issues on the PS5, are also absent. Returnal and Elden Ring likewise are not among the launch-enhanced games. These games may still receive upgrades in the future, depending on how successful the PS5 Pro is at market launch.

Beyond just visual upgrades, the PS5 Pro brings several key performance improvements. It has faster memory, Wi-Fi 7 support, and a substantial internal storage increase with a 2TB SSD. Early reviews from Digital Foundry’s unboxing also noted an additional 2GB of DDR5 RAM and a user-replaceable battery, adding to its convenience and usability. While these upgrades offer considerable enhancements, the question of whether these features justify the $700 price tag may still be up for debate among gamers looking to upgrade.
