If you already know you’re picking up a PlayStation 5 Pro, then you also probably know already that you’ll be needing a disc drive to play Blu-ray games and movies. Thankfully, the existing PS5 disc drive attachment is compatible with the more powerful model, so you can go ahead and pick that up ahead of the Sept. 26 pre-order and Nov. 7 launch.
This may seem a bit early to consider peripherals, but as Wario64 on X (formerly Twitter) has noted, the disc drive has jumped to 8th place on Amazon’s list of best-selling video game products since the Sony’s technical presentation, and as of this writing, Best Buy has sold out for shipping (though in-store pickup might be available depending on your location). There’s still plenty of time for all retailers to get more supply, of course, but given this initial and immediate demand, it might be best to invest early just in case you want to make sure your physical copies of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Horizon Forbidden West will be playable on day one.
As far as other accessories are concerned, there has yet to be official confirmation as to whether the existing PS5 vertical stand will work with PS5 Pro, but it does look awfully similar. We’ve reached out to Sony to confirm. In the meantime, if you want to play it safe — or if you have an existing PS5 and have been looking for the nudge to prop it upright — you can also pick up the official vertical stand for $29.99 or one of the many third-party options for a little less.
… And of course, we’d be remiss not to tell you that the adorable Astro Bot controller, like all PS5 controllers, is compatible with the Pro console. Unfortunately as of this writing, it still seems to be sold out everywhere, but we’re keeping an eye on it and will let you know if that changes.
