PS5 Pro Stock Vanishes After GTA 6 Reveal

PS5 Pro consoles have all but vanished from major US retailers following the GTA 6 reveal, with third-party sellers on Amazon and Walmart charging up to $1,300 for units normally priced at $899. Play Station Direct remains the only major US retailer still selling at MSRP, while Best Buy and Target have sold through their stock entirely. eBay listings for new consoles have reportedly hit as high as $1,200. GTA 6 is confirmed to include PS5 Pro enhancements, though Rockstar has not detailed the specific improvements.

Given the console's CPU-bound nature, it is unlikely the Pro pushes GTA 6 past 30 FPS, meaning buyers may pay a hefty premium for a smaller performance gain than expected. Sony is expected to restock retailers ahead of the GTA 6 November 19 launch. For now, anyone not in a rush is probably better off waiting than paying a $400+ markup on a console that may not even hit a stable 40 or 60 FPS in the game.
