PS5 Pro Black Friday deal on Amazon: €699 with FC 26

The PS5 Pro has caught your eye? Good news: Sony’s most powerful console is seeing a never-before discount for Black Friday on Amazon. Stock is limited, so you will need to be quick if you want to secure one.

Black Friday PS5 Pro offer on Amazon

The PS5 Pro is the top-tier version of Sony’s famous console. Its €799 launch price raised eyebrows, but Black Friday makes it far easier to justify. Amazon is currently knocking €100 off, bringing it down to €699, and throwing in FC 26 (digital version) as a free bonus.

If you are after something more capable than the basic PS5 Standard, this is a strong option. Do note that this is the Digital Edition, meaning there is no Blu-Ray disc drive included. That said, nothing stops you from buying the drive separately later if you decide you want it. In short, this is the first time we have seen a discount like this-and it took Black Friday for it to happen.

Nobody can say when an opportunity like this will come around again, so it makes sense to take it while it is still available. Amazon will also deliver your PS5 Pro in just a few days-quick enough to have it ready to go under the Christmas tree. Delivery is free, and the two-year Sony warranty is included in the box.

And if you are giving it as a Christmas present and it does not land with the recipient, you have until 31 January to send it back for a refund. That saves you from having to offload it cheaply on Leboncoin-or, worse, having it sit around unused.

Why the PS5 Pro is worth the price

For the first time since launch, the PlayStation 5 Pro drops below €700 on Amazon for Black Friday. But beyond the €100 reduction (and the free FC 26), the real question remains: what is actually inside this chassis that looks like a simple “update”? The answer is a specification sheet that no longer has much in common with the original model.

Graphics, Ray Tracing and raw power

The graphics architecture is where the big shift happens. Sony has moved from 36 compute units on the standard PS5 to 60 compute units on the Pro. In pure output, that is a jump from 10.23 Tflops to 33.5 Tflops. It is not a minor tweak; it is a step-change that enables advanced Ray Tracing (2 to 4 times faster) that previously could not be handled without dragging performance down.

PSSR upscaling and smoother 60 FPS

Where the classic PS5 often had to rely on soft-looking dynamic resolution to keep 60 FPS, the Pro introduces PSSR. This dedicated AI chip analyses each pixel to upscale the image with high accuracy. On a 4K screen, the crispness is in a different league, even in fine detail (foliage, fencing, hair), while also freeing up resources to keep motion smoother.

Memory, CPU Boost mode, and accessories

Although the RAM capacity stays at 16 GB, its speed has been increased. Bandwidth rises to 576 GB/s (versus 448 GB/s), helping to remove micro-stutters in dense open worlds. The Zen 2 processor also gains a “Boost” mode up to 3.85 GHz, which helps keep everything stable even when the on-screen action gets intense.

On the hardware side, this PS5 Pro “Digital Edition” is modular. As mentioned earlier, you can clip on the Blu-Ray disc drive whenever you like (sold separately). Naturally, it works with all PS5 Standard accessories, including the DualSense controller with its immersive haptic feedback. It is also compatible with the PS VR2 headset, which benefits significantly from the extra power to deliver sharper VR games (no more blur effect in Horizon Call of the Mountain).

In short, if you already own a PS5 and want a meaningful leap forward, the PS5 Pro makes sense. And if you are entering the PlayStation world for the first time, €699 is also a far more comfortable entry point than its launch price.
