PS5 Pro pre-orders – Argos, Amazon, GAME pre-order dates, times, prices and tips | Gaming | Entertainment

The PS5 Pro will be available to pre-order from a wider selection of retailers, beginning on October 10. UK retailers such as Argos, GAME, Currys, Amazon and Very will take orders for the console, which launches on November 7 at a cost of £699.99.

Unfortunately, there’s currently no exact word on what time pre-orders will go live, which means pre-orders could begin as early as midnight BST.

However, if it’s similar to the PlayStation Direct pre-order schedule, then PS5 Pro pre-orders will go live at 10am BST.

Daily Express will keep this article updated with the latest updates and announcements regarding PS5 Pro availability and on sale times in the UK. In the meantime, check out the links below to search for the PS5 Pro (links will continue to be updated once the console goes on sale).

To give yourself the best possible chance of nabbing a console from the retailer of your choice, it’s worth having multiple devices open and bank details ready.

Likewise, if you have an account with any of the retailers, it’s probably best to sign in before pre-orders go live.

The standard PS5 Pro comes with a 2TB SSD, as well as one DualSense controller and a copy of Astro’s Playroom built-in to the system.

The PS5 Pro is a disc-less console, which means you’ll have to purchase a disc drive separately, but only if you have a lot of games on disc, or use it to watch DVD/Blu-rays.

The console aims to improve on the original PS5 in three main ways. Specifically with a bigger GPU, Advanced Ray-Tracing and AI-driven upscaling.

The GPU will provide rendering that’s up to 45% faster thanks to 67% more Compute Units and 28% faster memory. This should lead to a better balance between visuals and performance.

Advanced Ray Tracing will provide « more dynamic reflection and refraction of light », which allows rays to be cast at double and sometimes even triple the speeds of the current PS5.

Then there’s the AI Driven Upscaling, which is said to use « machine learning-based technology to provide super sharp image clarity by adding an extraordinary amount of detail ».

Elsewhere, PS5 Pro Game Boost will give older PS4 and PS5 games an upgrade in the visual and performance department.

Games that will receive a boost include Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Demon’s Souls, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2 and Hogwarts Legacy.
