With the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, the video game industry is bracing itself for the fan explosion once the game drops on Thursday, Nov. 19. After all, it’s been 13 years since the last game came out, while GTA 6 just might be the most anticipated release of the decade.

And since so many are eagerly awaiting for GTA 6, which features an electronic score by Justice, to drop, people are picking up a new Sony PlayStation 5 just to play this game on launch day. In fact, the PS5 and PS5 Pro have been flying off shelves, as Sony tries to keep up with demand. However, we found stock of the more advanced PS5 Pro online.

Priced at $899 at PlayStation Direct, the Sony PlayStation 5 Pro (Digital Edition) is available for purchase, while it’s not too late to order the game. GTA 6 is available at Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy with prices starting at just $79.99 for the standard edition.

So why pick up the PS5 Pro? Ever since Rockstar Games dropped the extended look video a few weeks ago, gamers were keen to notice that the video captured footage with the PS5 Pro instead of the PS5 or Xbox Series X/S. This signaled to fans that the best way to play GTA 6 was with a PS5 Pro.

It offers gamers better graphics, detailed audio, and smoother motion, while the PS5 Pro is designed for better performance compared to the standard PS5. The console has true 4K Ultra HD picture quality and enhanced AI-upscaling at a higher refresh rate of up to 120Hz for silky smooth and more fluid motion with no lag. For the PS5, you could only pick one or the other; either 4K video quality or 120Hz refresh rate, but with the PS5 Pro, you can get both features for more immersive gaming.

Meanwhile, the PS5 Pro also has advance ray tracing for detailed in-game reflections, shadows, and illuminations, while the overall gaming experience is deeper with sharp true-to-life graphics. The gaming console also comes with the Sony PS DualSense Wireless Controller, a built-in 2TB SSD for storage, two horizontal stand feet, an HDMI cable, a pre-installed copy of Astro’s Playroom, and more.

Retailing for $899, the Sony PlayStation 5 Pro is available right now at PS Direct.

In the meantime, you can order GTA 6 from online retailers, like Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy.
