How long will the PS5 last? There is more and more talk about PlayStation 5 PRO, ideally arriving by the end of the year (however, Sony’s official announcement is still missing) and many are wondering whether it is still worth buying the PS5 or PS5 Slim or waiting the arrival of the mid-gen console.
Let’s start by debunking a cliché: PS5 won’t become old with the arrival of PS5 PRO and it absolutely will not stop being supported, so even by purchasing it at this precise moment you will have the certainty of owning a current console that will last for a few more years.
PlayStation 5 is about to enter the second half of its life cycle but this doesn’t mean that the console’s life is coming to an end, On the contrary! If we think that ten years after launch, PS4 games are still being released, by purchasing PlayStation 5 now you will be sure of being able to play new titles ideally at least until 2030 and probably even beyond.
PS5 SLIM ON AMAZON for 455 eurosToday PS5 Slim with optical drive can be bought for less than 500 euros while the “old” model is available at even lower prices and it is not uncommon to see used consoles for 300 or 350 euros. On the other hand, we do not yet know how much the PlayStation 5 PRO will cost, Digital Foundry hypothesizes a list price of 600 dollars for the model without player, but it is only a hypothesis of DF, therefore far from being reality.
So returning to the initial question: is it worth buying the PS5 in 2024? Surely yes but clearly everything depends on your needsif you are an inveterate tech enthusiast we clearly advise you to wait for PlayStation 5 PRO but otherwise you can calmly purchase PS5 or PS5 Slim, knowing that the console will be supported for many years to come, certainly even after the hypothetically expected release of PlayStation 6 for 2027 or 2028.
