PlayStation 5 Pro and 30th Anniversary Collection: The Nostalgia

Sony doesn't waste time when it comes to keeping its community warm, and the latest news is the PlayStation 5 Prowhich is already on pre-sale in Brazil. And that's not all, the company also took the opportunity to launch a special 30th anniversary collection of the brand. A true “combo breaker” for collectors on duty, with that nostalgic touch for those who grew up with the first PlayStation back in the 90s. So let's see what the new line promises!

PlayStation 5 Pro: The Super Saiyan of Consoles

First, let's talk about the main star of this soap opera: PlayStation 5 Prowhich promises to raise the bar for tabletop consoles with more power, more capacity and jaw-dropping looks. With improved graphics and 60 FPS guaranteed (finally, without that “60 FPS sometimes” talk), the PS5 Pro wants to deliver an experience worthy of those who enjoy games with top-notch visual quality.

Now, if you're the type of person who loves seeing every detail of water reflections in 8K, this is the console for you. Sony isn't messing around when it comes to bringing 2TB storagetwice as much as the regular PS5. And if you thought the current PS5's Wi-Fi was good enough, get ready for Wi-Fi 7 — for territories that already have the technology, of course. Brazil, as always, may need to wait a little longer to use all of this to its full potential.

Running Games in 8K… Why is 4K a Thing of the Past?

THE PS5 Pro brings an update to the games too, with titles like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Gran Turismo 7 and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 already ready to take advantage of the new hardware. These games promise to run even more smoothly, taking advantage of the artificial intelligence of the console to improve gameplay and deliver more dynamism in light refractions and reflections. Imagine playing Hogwarts Legacy with everything on ultra, flying on a broomstick while watching every leaf on the trees sway in 8K. I don't know about you, but this makes me want to dive headfirst into this new generation!

Speaking of 8Kthe truth is that we know that most gamers don't even have a TV to run this resolution yet, right? But that doesn't stop Sony from being ahead of its time (and our wallets). With the PS5 Proyou'll already be prepared for the future. After all, there's nothing like being the first to show off one of these machines in your living room, even if your friends can't yet tell the difference between 4K and 8K.

30th Anniversary Edition: A Nostalgic Trip with the PlayStation 5 Slim

The Slim comes with accessories in the same nostalgic style, such as the DualSense and the DualSense Edgebesides the PlayStation Portalwhich will be a good option for those who enjoy playing remotely. It will be like playing in your childhood again, but with next-generation graphics — the best of both worlds.

And for collectors, it's worth remembering: they are just 12 thousand units all over the world! So if you’re thinking about buying one, you’d better hurry. After all, every gamer knows that the pain of seeing a limited edition item sell out before you can get yours is very real.

PlayStation Portal: Is the Hype Worth it?

Now, let's talk about PlayStation Portal. If you're not familiar, this is Sony's new remote player, a kind of hybrid between a controller and a screen, made for those who want to continue their PS5 adventures without being in front of the TV. It looks promising, but will it be able to surpass the experience of simply connecting a controller via Bluetooth to your phone and continuing to play via Remote Play?

The truth is that Portal has the advantage of being an exclusive product of the PlayStation ecosystem, and the experience promises to be optimized for those who want a smooth transition between console and portable mode. For those who play Final Fantasy XIV or enjoy a casual session of The Last of Us Part II on the living room sofa, this could be the ideal option to maintain immersion.

On the other hand, the question that begs the question: is it worth paying? R$ 1,599.90 for something that basically lets you keep playing away from the TV? If you've already spent R$7,000 on the PS5 Pro, the answer might be “why not?”. After all, when you're up to your eyeballs in investment, another accessory is just the cherry on the cake.

The Eternal Console War Continues

As Sony prepares for yet another battle in the console arena, the fan wars continue. The PS5 Pro arrives with full force, but we know that Microsoft will not remain silent either. With the Xbox Series X already going head to head, will Sony's mid-generation upgrade be enough to keep PlayStation in the lead?

With the Nintendo always going their own way (don't be surprised if their next console is a cross between a console and a coffee maker), the race really comes down to Sony and Microsoft. And for now, Sony seems to be playing to win. But remember: what really matters at the end of the day is the games and the experience each player has. If you're already happy with the regular PS5, there's no need to rush out and buy the Pro — but if you want the best the market has to offer, now is the time.

It is worth it?

THE PS5 Pro promises to be a monster machine. With improved graphics, more space for games and an even smoother experience, it is the perfect upgrade for those who want to always be one step ahead. 30th Anniversary Edition It's a great addition for anyone who grew up with the brand and wants to celebrate that nostalgia in style.

Ultimately, if you're a fan of Sony and the universe PlayStationthese new features are eye-catching (and wallet-emptying). But, as good gamers, we know that every penny is worth it for the immersive experience and the joy of having the most powerful machine on the market.
