The PS4 Pro: Sony's Powerful 4K Gaming Console

Posted by Matthew Carrington

16/04/2020

The PS4 Pro features twice the power of previous PlayStation models, making it the fastest and most stable console Sony have ever made. Battling it out with Microsoft’s Xbox One X, the PS4 Pro is a fantastic gaming machine that combines a super-fast processor with stunning 4K visuals and 8GB RAM for an incredible gaming experience. Released in 2016, it wasn't a major update to Sony's PS4 in terms of hardware, the Playstation 4 Pro is a must-have for gamers wanting to play the latest PS4 games. This PS4 Pro buyer's guide will tell you everything you need to know about the Sony console, examining the features and specs, and of course helping you to find the best PS4 Pro deals.

PS4 Pro Review

The critics' reception of the PS4 Pro was pretty unanimous. Reviews praised the 4K ability, extra power, and labelled it a must for those with 4K TVs, but lamented the lack of inbuilt 4K Blu-Ray player. There might not also be much point upgrading from the PS4, especially if you don't have a 4K HDR TV, as the extra benefits aren't necessarily worth the extra cost, especially when the PS5 is an option. In addition to this, many pointed to that fact that the Xbox One X out performs the PS4 Pro in many areas. That being said, at the time it was realised, the PS4 Pro is the best console Sony had ever made.

The Main PS4 Pro Features

When it was realised in 2016, the PS4 pro was the most powerful console Playstation had ever made. So with that in mind, let's look at the main features of the gaming system.

4K Enabled
The PS4 Pro is the first Sony console to support 4K gaming and entertainment. Gamers can now play blockbuster games, such as Death Stranding and Red Dead Redemption 2, in stunning 4K detail on a 4K TV or monitor. The PS4 Pro also allows you to stream 4K entertainment from online services like NetFlix, Prime Video, or YouTube, but be aware that there is no in-built Blu-Ray player.
Faster Frame Rates
The PlayStation 4 Pro boasts 60fps (frames per second) on supported games. Compared to the standard PS4's 30fps, gameplay on the PS4 Pro is smooth thanks to the extra power from the console 8GB of GDDR5 RAM.
Double the Power of the PS4
The PS4 Pro stores double the power of the standard PlayStation. This means there is greater image clarity, gameplay is smoother, and there are shorter load times for PS4 Pro enhanced games. However, it doesn't have as much power as its rival, the Xbox One X, which features 12GB of GDDR5 RAM compared to the PS4 Pro's 8GB GDDR5 RAM. We'll look at a full comparison later.
HDR
Combined with an HDR TV, PS4 games exhibit a wide range of colours that are close to the spectrum that the human eye can see. With the PS4 Pro's HDR feature games are delivered in vibrant colours and lifelike detail.
Storage
The PS4 Pro 1TB contains enough storage to download all your favourite games. However, if you do like playing multiple games at the same time then, you might want to consider purchasing external storage to compliment the already impressive 1TB space.

PS4 Pro vs Xbox One X

For many console gamers, the question is simple. PlayStation or Xbox. The answer is never straight forward. Let's look at the main points of comparison between the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One X.

Specs – The Xbox One X has the slight upper hand, with 12GB RAM, and a faster CPU/GPU combo compared to the PS4 Pro.
4K – Both are able to run games 60fps at 4K, but the One X has an inbuilt 4K Blu-Ray Player, making it more practical.
Design - Design is a matter of personal taste, but the Xbox is slightly smaller.
Exclusive Games – Some of the best for PS4 are: Death Stranding, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Marvel's Spider-Man, and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
VR – The PS4 Pro is better equipped for VR Gaming thanks to the PSVR compared to Microsoft's console.
Price – Price for both are similar but the PS4 Pro sometimes is available for slightly cheaper than the Xbox.

Where and When to Buy Your PS4 Pro Deals

There are many ways to buy a PS4 Pro, with different vendors offering a range of bundles and price points. As usual with gaming systems, it pays to shop around to see which retailers are offering current discounts as these prices can rapidly change.

One option is to visit a bricks and mortar store to see the PS4 Pro in action (and maybe even compare it there and then to the PS4). High street shops that you might try include GAME, Argos and Tesco, all of which have listed PS4 Pro bundles on hotukdeals.

Then there are online sellers. Some of the best PS4 Pro bundles are to be found at online retailers like Zavvi, Simply Games, or Amazon, while eBay is worth checking out as well.

The other major place to buy a PS4 Pro bundle is on the Sony PlayStation website itself. Head to the PS4 Pro section where you can find out more about the specs, what games have released updates and information about accessories.

You can save money on PS4 and PS4 Pro bundles by choosing the right time to shop, not just the right vendor. Black Friday and Cyber Monday always see Sony and retailers dropping the prices of gaming systems, while the post-Christmas sales are another good time to shop.

With the PS4 Pro having been recently launched, the price of PS4 bundles may be falling in response. If the new console takes off, expect to see cheaper deals for the original system at the hotukdeals listings and take advantage of them if you can.
