The PS5 Pro 2TB is back in stock at the official PlayStation Direct store, ending a period of severe scarcity that has frustrated buyers for months. This restock matters because previous shortages drove third-party prices well over $1,200, with some listings hitting $1,500. Buyers who missed out on the initial launch can now purchase the console at its standard retail price. We looked at the last PS5 Pro update while tracking these availability swings.
Sony restocks the 2TB console at its standard retail price
Sony is selling the 2TB model at its regular price of $899.99 USD (around $900). The console was previously sold out following the GTA 6 Extended Look release, which triggered a massive surge in demand. That earlier demand spike caused immediate shortages across major retailers. The current restock offers a chance to buy at face value before inventory likely depletes again.
Performance expectations for the new hardware include specific limitations regarding upcoming titles. Rockstar Games is reportedly targeting around 30 FPS on the standard PS5 and the PS5 Pro for GTA 6. The main advantage of the Pro model should be improved visual quality rather than a higher frame rate. This means buyers should expect visual upgrades rather than double the performance for this specific title.
Stock availability is expected to be limited, so interested buyers should act quickly. The console is currently available through the official PlayStation Direct store only. Previous shortages were driven by the high demand for GTA 6. This restock provides a clear window for purchase before the next potential sell-out event.
