A disc drive for PS5 can be purchased separately so you can use PS5 and supported physical PS4 discs and play 4K Blu-ray and DVD discs.

Transfer your data from PS4, PS4 Pro or PS5 to PlayStation 5 Pro

If you own a PS5, PS4 Pro or a PS4 console, you can transfer your data to your new console. Before starting the transfer, make sure your original console is updated to the latest system software and you’ve synced your trophy information. Sign in to your PlayStation Network account on both your original console and your PS5 Pro. You can transfer your user information, games downloaded to your console’s hard drive or SSD, save data and select console settings if both consoles are connected to the same network. Go to Settings > System > System Software, select Data Transfer > Continue, then follow the on-screen instructions.

Enable PS5 console sharing and offline play

Although you can have your account on multiple consoles, you can only designate one console for console sharing and offline play at a time. When you first log in to your new PS5 or PS5 Pro console, console sharing and offline play are automatically enabled.

If you sign in to a PS5 console that isn’t enabled for console sharing and offline play, you can still access and play purchased games from your account and access some of your PlayStation Plus benefits – as long as you’re signed in with your account. It will not be accessible through other accounts that may be using the same console.

Sync your DualSense controller, DualSense Edge controller, Pulse Elite headset, Pulse Explore and PlayStation Portal with your PS5 Pro

Whether you’re using the new DualSense controller that came with your PS5 Pro or one you already own, you’ll need to pair these with your new console. Use the included USB-C cable to connect these to the console and turn on the controller.

For PlayStation Portal, from the home screen of your PS5 console, select Settings > System > Remote Play, then turn on Enable Remote Play. Log in to your PlayStation Network account on your PlayStation Portal and follow the on-screen instructions to sync it to your new console.

For your PlayStation Pulse Elite headset, connect the included USB adapter to one of the rear USB Type-A ports on your console and press the PlayStation Link button on your headset.

For the PlayStation Pulse Explore, make sure both of your earphones are docked in the charging case, insert the USB adapter into one of the USB Type-A ports on your console, remove both earphones from the case to connect them to your console.

Pair your PS5 Pro with the PlayStation app

You can download games while you’re away from home, manage console storage if you don’t have enough space, and launch a game on the app so it’s ready to pick up the controller and play.

Play Astro’s Playroom

As with all PlayStation 5 consoles, the PS5 Pro comes with Astro’s Playroom pre-installed on the console stock, which is a great introduction to Team Asobi’s wonderful platforming franchise and also to the immersive features of the DualSense wireless controller.
