New PS5 Pro comes with a sneaky new feature but it may leave gamers disappointed

PlayStation users have been left divided over the 'exclusive' feature of the $699.99 PS5 Pro Console

PlayStation fans are flocking to social media over the PS5 Pro console's new 'exclusive' feature, though some are not convinced it's 'worth the upgrade'.

Sony added a highly-requested feature to its PS5 which fans had been asking for since it launched in an update earlier this year.

And now the gaming giant has revealed an 'exclusive' feature which only owners of the PS5 Pro Console - released yesterday (November 7) - can access.

The PS5 Pro console

PlayStation revealed its latest console in an announcement on its website, the product retailing at an eye-watering $699.99.

But what comes with the hefty price tag? Well, it explains: "With the PlayStation®5 Pro console, the world’s greatest game creators can enhance their games with incredible features like advanced ray tracing, super sharp image clarity for your 4K TV, and high frame rate gameplay.

"That means you get to play PS5 games with the most impressive visuals ever possible on a PlayStation console."

And included in these 'impressive visuals' is a feature which is 'exclusive' solely to the PS5 Pro.

The 'exclusive' feature

Well, it's good news for those of you who constantly obsess over what wallpaper to put on your phone background because the PS5 Pro's 'exclusive' new feature is a background wallpaper.

The wallpaper is for the 'Welcome' tab and features an animation of the PS5 chipset with the PS5 Pro logo on it.

One Twitter user wrote: "PS5 Pro has an exclusive Background wallpaper for your ‘Welcome’ tab & looks awesome."

And it's not taken long for gamers to flood to social media to weigh in with their thoughts.


Some are delighted by the new feature being a background wallpaper change.

One user commented: "My God, that's sexy!"

A second wrote: "Will definitely be using this! (Assuming there aren’t any 30th Anniversary ones)."

Another commented: "Ngl the background looks dope."

However, others aren't quite as enthused by the exclusive feature.

One user said: "Not worth the upgrade. It should have been on the base PS5 personally."

Someone else added: "Wow!! 800€ for a wallpaper!!"

Another thought: "Oh damn, makes price easier to swallow, a whole a** background."

And a final user resolved: "And that's the one and only real upgrade."

Well, whether you're a fan of the new feature or not, ultimately it doesn't make much difference to your actual gaming experience so whatever your thoughts on it are, just game on.
