PlayStation 5 Pro $699 at Walmart

The most powerful PlayStation console has fallen to its lowest price yet during Sony's 2025 Days of Play sale. That's not saying much — it's still $50 more than a 1TB Xbox Series X post-tariffs. But this is a rare deal to see outside of Cyber Weekend, when PlayStations typically fall to their year-round lows, and a welcome respite from its "brutal" MSRP.

Amazon has the PS5 Pro marked down to $649 (normally $699.99), beating its current sale price via PlayStation Direct by a sneaky 99 cents. The deal should be live through June 11 at 11:59 p.m. local time, when Days of Play is scheduled to end.

Released in November 2024, or four years after the $499.99 standard PS5, the PS5 Pro is a beast of a console for deep-pocketed gamers who want their favorite titles to look and run as good as possible. (It's definitely more a "because I can"-type splurge than a necessary next-gen upgrade.) Here's how it's different from its predecessor:

• Its GPU is faster, so gameplay is smoother

• It supports PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (aka AI-driven upscaling), so games look sharper at higher frame rates

• It has better ray tracing technology, so lighting and reflections look more realistic

• It supports WiFi 7, the latest wireless tech

• It has 2TB of storage (double that of the regular PS5)

• It does nothave a built-in disc drive — that's sold separately for $79.99

It's also worth noting that only 55 games have been "enhanced" to take full advantage of the PS5 Pro's upgrades.
