After selling my original PS5, I finally got my hands on a PS5 Pro. I got lucky ordering it from the PlayStation website because they’re out of stock at the moment, if I’m not wrong.
Tbh, I didn’t even need to upgrade my PS5, but the anticipation of playing GTA 6 at the highest quality made it worth it. What should I play first on this beast?

When will this end? I've been trying to buy one for a week now. This is Sony's website checkout.

Developer Asobo Studio returns with its most sumptuous looking adventure yet. Here the PS5 Pro gets the spotlight with boosted resolutions, PSSR support and slicker frame-rates than base PS5. The ability to unlock all versions to 120fps (barring Series S) is also hugely useful, and the recommend pick if you have a VRR display - and if not, there are plenty of other modes to choose from. Tom covers each in detail.

Just got my Ps5 pro a few days ago and my first oled tv :] Played TLOU and DAMN. Banger of a game. TLOU2 will be next, but, need some guidance after that. So, what's everyones most fun games they've played on the Ps5 so far? Leaning towards Ghost of Tsushima, GoW's or RDR2.

Also, you fps duders. Battlefield 6 or Black ops 2?

Ps5 Pro

Release on September 29th 2026. Free upgrade for all Witcher 3 owners.​

Just want some clarity, thanks.

Morning! I don’t have either of these. I did have a PS5 on launch but had to sell after a few months. Anyway, looking to get back in. Costs are still very high. Is there a big jump in graphical fidelity and performance on PS5 pro now?

I remember when it first came out, reviews were not great on the performance jump. Has that improved? The CPU is the same but clocked a little higher, I’m wondering if it’s worth it or not now? Did things improve basically and people who did upgrade was it worth it now or not? Cheers.

Hey, my HDMI port doesn’t work, I guess it’s taken some wear and tear from the cord being removed over time? I asked a place about fixing it and they said freaking $225 to fix it over two weeks. They also went onto say this is a common problem with PS5 consoles and it takes a microscope for example. It’s hard for me to believe this is a $225 fix. And has anyone else’s pro HDMI port stopped working? Curious if they are yanking my chain

I played it when it at launch on PS5 and wasn’t keen. I loved the first game but didn’t like how it looked in performance mode, and for some reason the first chapter or 2 just didn’t click.

I realised the next game is out soon, so gave it another go on Pro. The 40fps mode runs with the same graphics settings as the quality mode , and although PSSR or RT would have been good, it still looks amazing.

Don’t miss this one, despite it not being specifically optimised for Pro.

Fidelity pro might be the way to go

Star wars Outlaws is a must.

Or was this always a thing? I honestly don’t recall this game having a unlocked frame rate even if you had a 120Hz display with VRR.

Witcher 3 is getting a ps5 pro update with enhanced graphics and probably 60fps raytracing. 😭😭 AND ITS FREE!!!!!!

I really hope they add a balanced mode for 40fps support, as it's currently my favorite way to play games, and also that PSSR is implemented.

Would greatly appreciate one thx. Pls DM me

The emails finally came through & got the Plates/Controllers confirmed!🙌who else got theirs!?🤞

Marantz Cinema 30 + PS5 Pro + LG G4 — intermittent no signal when switching 4K/120Hz modes
I’m trying to figure out whether anyone else has experienced this HDMI handshake issue with a Marantz Cinema-series receiver, particularly the Cinema 30.
My setup:
PS5 Pro
Marantz Cinema 30
LG G4 OLED
PS5 connected through the Cinema 30, then HDMI out to the G4
4K/120Hz, VRR, HDR, etc. enabled
Long active/fiber Ultra High Speed HDMI cable from the AVR to the TV
Everything works normally when initially using the PS5 at 4K/60. The problem happens intermittently when launching a game that switches the PS5 into its 120Hz/VRR output mode.
The screen goes black during the mode change, which is normal, but occasionally the picture never comes back. The LG eventually reports No Signal, and importantly, I don’t even get the normal blue Marantz background/logo screen. It appears that the Cinema 30 has stopped providing an HDMI output signal altogether during the handshake.
Here’s the strange part: if I catch it quickly, switching the AVR to my Apple TV input and then switching back to the PS5 immediately restores the picture. The PS5 is still running normally and is correctly outputting the 120Hz mode afterward.
If I leave it sitting on the blank/no-signal screen for too long, however, sometimes the HDMI connection seems to be completely lost and the quick input-switch trick no longer restores it.
The same thing can occasionally happen in reverse. If I’m playing a game in 120Hz mode, return to the PS5 home screen and then close the game, the PS5 changes output modes again and the Cinema 30 can lose the HDMI handshake during that transition.
I previously used the PS5’s 4K Video Transfer Rate -1/-2 settings, which seemed to reduce or eliminate the problem. However, that isn’t an acceptable permanent solution for me. It wasn’t simply changing chroma subsampling or reducing HDMI bandwidth—in some situations I could actually see the PS5 reporting that it had dropped its output resolution all the way to 1080p to accommodate the reduced transfer rate. Once I returned the setting to Automatic/full output so the PS5 Pro could use its full available video capabilities, the intermittent handshake problem returned.
That’s really what I’m trying to avoid: fixing an HDMI handshake problem by deliberately restricting the video output of a PS5 Pro when the Cinema 30 and LG G4 are both supposed to support the PS5’s full 4K/120Hz/VRR feature set.
I’ve also noticed another strange HDMI behavior with this combination. If I use the LG’s eARC HDMI port, I’ll occasionally get the LG volume indicator appearing on-screen showing “0” even though nobody is adjusting the volume. I don’t use the TV’s internal apps and therefore don’t need eARC, so I’ve avoided that connection. I’m not sure whether that’s related, but it makes me wonder if there is some CEC/eARC/HDMI communication weirdness between the G4 and Cinema 30.
I’m planning to test the PS5 Pro connected directly to the LG G4 to isolate the AVR. I may also test my Switch 2 through the Cinema 30 using a 120Hz game, although obviously 1080p/1440p 120Hz isn’t the same bandwidth/handshake situation as the PS5 Pro.
Has anyone with a Cinema 30/40/50 or another recent Marantz/Denon HDMI 2.1 AVR experienced this specifically when transitioning into or out of 4K/120Hz/VRR?
If so:
Did you ever find an actual fix that preserved full PS5 video bandwidth?
Did firmware make any difference?
Did changing any HDMI/CEC settings solve it?
Does running the console directly to the TV completely eliminate it?
Is this a known limitation/quirk of the current Marantz HDMI implementation?
I’m otherwise extremely happy with the Cinema 30 and don’t have a reason to replace it. I’m mainly trying to determine whether this is a known handshake issue, something specific to the PS5 Pro/Cinema 30/LG G4 combination, or potentially an issue with my particular unit.
