But this time around, it feels like the PS5 Pro is even more unnecessary than the PS4 Pro was, and it’s going to be an odd release and a tough ask for an upgrade this time around.

At minimum, it seems like the PS5 Pro would be a $500 ask, if not more, which may be off-putting.

And if Xbox does not get an upgrade, and the PC version isn’t out for at least a year, that will be the PS5 Pro. »
