Christmas Eve is here, and if you still haven’t managed to find a gift for the holiday season, today is your last chance to save on a PlayStation 5 Pro. PlayStation’s holiday sale started a few weeks back, and this discount on the PS5 Pro will end tomorrow on Christmas Day. If you’ve been holding out, don’t miss your chance to save $100 off Sony’s most premium console.
PlayStation 5 Pro for $649
Without question, the PlayStation 5 Pro is the most powerful console on the market. This console is packed with extra horsepower to make games run better than PlayStation 5, and for many games, the difference is very noticeable. Utilizing PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), games like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Resident Evil Village, Returnal, and Alan Wake 2 are all day-and-night differences compared to PS5.
Most games will see increased frame rates and resolutions, but PS5 Pro also brings in support for Advanced Ray-Tracing. This can be seen in games that have ray-traced lighting, with the Pro offering more support than was possible with PS5. If you already own a PS5, the Pro might not be a very attractive purchase at $649. However, if you’re entering the console space and choosing between the Xbox Series X or PS5 Pro, the price difference between the two today is negligible.
While it’s possible that PS5 Pro might go on sale in the Spring, I wouldn’t count on a better discount showing up for quite a while. If you have even the slightest bit of interest in picking one up, today is the best time to do so. Outside of this holiday sale, we have only seen a $100 discount for a few days in June 2025.
