PS5 Pro Criticism Rises as Players Complain About High Price and Poor Technical Support

Expert Verified By

'The PS5 Pro Is Just Bad Value'

Story Highlight
  • PS5 Pro players are criticising the console for providing bad value for their money.
  • The console costs around $800, and still doesn’t get the best versions of most games.
  • Players demand that Sony fix the issues so they get the value out of their spending.

The current console generation is often criticized as the worst value for gamers. It makes sense, too, considering we have seen so many price hikes taking console prices to a new high and pushing them out of the general public’s reach. 

This is especially true for the PS5 Pro, which now costs about $800. So, since Sony inflated the prices, the criticisms of the PS5 Pro have risen as players complain about high prices and poor technical support

Why it matters: When you pay so much for a console, you expect a flawless experience, but the current-gen Pro has some glaring problems like Sony’s in-house PSSR upscaling, which makes most games look and perform worse. 

Players have consistently complained about spending so much on a console without getting their money’s worth. Some games truly show the Pro’s potential, but in case of most third-party releases, it has been a letdown. 

We have seen that the console is well-capable of amazing stuff with games like Death Stranding 2, however, with most latest releases like Silent Hill f and Metal Gear Solid, it has been a massive disappointment

Fans are criticising the PS5 Pro for its high price and bad value 

Yes, the blame goes to developers for lousy optimization as well, but for a machine that is dedicated to just gaming, this shouldn’t be an issue, and Sony must work with studios to make sure that PS5 Pro players get the best version. 

Borderlands 4, as bad as it is on PC, runs even worse on the PS5 Pro, which is yet another instance of players not getting the experience they paid for. Nonetheless, Sony should work closely with studios and make sure these issues are resolved for the future.
