PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary release date: when is the new PlayStation 5 available?
You'll have to wait a little longer for the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary release date compared to the standard PS5 Pro
🚨 The PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary release date isn’t the same as the standard Pro
📆 Both are available to pre-order on September 26
👉 However, the PS5 Pro releases on November 7, and the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary edition releases on November 21
🤷♂️ That’s just before Black Friday, but it means you’ll have to wait longer for the exclusive PS5 Pro
The PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary release date isn’t as straightforward as expected. Despite preorders going live on the same day as the regular PS5 Pro on September 26, you’ll have to wait a little longer for the PlayStation 5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition to arrive.
Again, it’s important to note that the pre-order date for the PlayStation 5 Pro 30th Anniversary bundle is also September 26, but don’t expect it to ship on November 7 like the standard PS5 Pro.
When is the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary release date?
The PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary release date is November 21, which is a good few weeks later than the standard Pro, and it means you’ll have to wait to enjoy the power of Sony’s new console if you opt for the fancier (and significantly more expensive) version.
The PS5 Pro Anniversary Edition price is likely to be at least $959.99 and possibly over $1,000, which is a big increase on the already expensive $699.99 PlayStation Pro.
However, with only 12,300 being made, collectors and nostalgic PlayStation fans will want to own a piece of history. If that sounds like you, check out our PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Collection pre-order tips to give yourself the best chance of securing Sony’s exclusive console.
