After testing a handful of titles, I can say that the difference is appreciable if less stark than it was between the PS4 and PS4 Pro. Here’s why splurging for the upgrade may or may not make sense for you.

At 4 years old, it’s in much better shape than the PS4 was in when the PS4 Pro stepped in. Notably, 2024 games like Astro Bot and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered prove how good it still is at delivering graphical spectacles.

The PS5 Pro can boost the graphics and frame rates of PS5 games that have been enhanced for the console. However, the console can also give a modest visual boost to PS4 titles, as well.
