Where it stands

The PlayStation 5 Pro has sold out in the US. The surge in demand follows the reveal of Grand Theft Auto VI. The $900 console is now scarce, with prices spiking to $1,300 on the secondary market. The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is driving demand.

The game is expected to be a major title for the PlayStation 5 Pro. The console's advanced features, including DLSS 5, have been tested in GTA VI and other games. The reporting is thin on the supply chain. Some outlets suggest that most players are holding off on buying the console specifically for GTA VI.

The extent of the supply shortage and the duration of the sellout are not yet clear. The impact on other gaming consoles and platforms is also unknown.
