With the launch of the PS5 Pro now just one day away, Sony has lifted the embargo on hardware reviews of its new and upgraded console. Below you'll find a selection of verdicts from reputable and trusted outlets, all sharing their thoughts on the PS5 Pro.

The general verdict is positive, with reviewers praising the console's new features like PSSR and how the performance and quality modes of the past feel blended together for the best of both worlds. While the high pricetag is a kicker for a lot of verdicts, there's general agreement that tech enthusiasts will get their money's worth out of the PS5 Pro.

As for our PS5 Pro review here on Push Square, we're set to receive a unit on release day. As such, please look forward to our verdict arriving at some point early next week.

The PS5 Pro is a superb console and now the best PlayStation 5 machine available. The advancements are glorious and bring a new level of immersion and beauty to games, while also boosting performance levels to offer fluid and smooth frame rates — at the same time — offering a clear advancement over the base PS5, and will be perfect for those enthusiasts yearning for more from the camps of fidelity and performance. The increase to 2TB of storage and the inclusion of Wi-Fi 7 are very welcome and make tangible operational advancements too.

However, the headline graphical upgrades aren’t truly groundbreaking and if you’re not a PlayStation fanatic or graphics obsessive then you can likely skip the Pro. Plus, the exclusion of a disc drive and stand, despite its position as an enthusiast console, is disappointing. But if you have an eye for detail, want to be at the bleeding edge of console tech, and want to get the most out of this PlayStation generation, then the PS5 Pro is the console to get.

The visual quality that the Pro-enhanced performance modes have thus far look fantastic, and it’s all the more enticing because hitting 60fps gives a smooth gameplay experience that’s tough to come back from.
