I’m not buying a PS5 Pro in 2025 – instead I’m picking up a very long HDMI cable and a new GPU for my gaming PC.

While the first thing you will want to get for your new PS5 is likely to be games – it is, after all, a games console, not a heavyweight for pressing down books that have become warped sitting next to the radiator.

Learning how to set up a PS5 Pro will have you enjoying Sony's most powerful console in no time at all. For starters, this is a slightly different console when compared to the base edition, and you'll want to take extra care to ensure you're getting the most out of the new bells and whistles.
