PS5 Pro Disc Drive is back in stock – but you’ll need to hurry before they sell out | Gaming | Entertainment

Available for £99.99, the PS Pro Disc Drive attachment easily fits to your console with a just a few quick steps.

Making sure you’ve unplugged everything, simply remove the faceplate and attach the disc drive by lining up the two clips.

The Disc Drive comes with its own cover, which you attach to the console in place of the original faceplate. 

Once it’s attached, you can play DVDs, Blu-Rays and PS4/PS5 games on the PlayStation 5 Pro.

The PS5 Disc Drive doesn’t appear to be in stock anywhere other than the PlayStation Direct website at the time of writing, so you may have to hurry and make the purchase before they sell out.

It’s worth noting that PS5 Disc Drives are limited to one per customer, which should hopefully discourage scalpers.

A big upgrade over the original PS5, the PS5 Pro makes a variety of improvements to visuals and performance.

The PS5 Pro console comes with Sony’s excellent DualSense controller, as well as a copy of Astro’s Playroom built-in to the device.

While the improvements to visuals and performance are the headline features, it’s worth remembering that the PS5 Pro also comes with a 2TB solid-state drive, which is twice the storage of the original PS5 at launch. 

With games like Call of Duty potentially taking up a few hundred gigabytes of storage space, the bigger SSD is arguably worth the price alone. 

Of course, it’s the improved specs that really makes the PS5 Pro worth purchasing, especially if you’re sick of choosing between graphics and performance.

Compared to the original PlayStation 5, the PS5 Pro contains a bigger GPU, features Advanced Ray-Tracing and utilises AI-driven upscaling.

The GPU will provide rendering that’s up to 45% faster thanks to 67% more Compute Units and 28% faster memory. This should lead to a better balance between visuals and performance.
