The best PlayStation 4 Pro bundles
PS4 Pro 1TB | Horizon: Zero Dawn | Now TV pass | £349.99 @ Game
With most stores still selling the PS4 Pro for £350, you're essentially getting Horizon: Zero Dawn for free with this deal. Game has also thrown in a two-month Now TV pass. Horizon looks incredible on a regular PS4, so prepare to have your socks blown off thanks to the game's 4K HDR features on the PS4 Pro. Both Argos and Smyths are promoting the same offer, so take your pick from whoever takes your fancy, or who has stock left as this is a seriously hot PS4 Pro deal.

PS4 Pro 1TB |Infamous: Second Son | Now TV | £349.99 @ Game
Not a bad selection of extras at all here. Infamous: Second Son has a sweet 4K patch and when you need a break there's the Now TV movie pass. A bargain considering the RRP of the PS4 Pro is £350 anyways. Note: Game sells out of the PS4 Pro quite often, but when it's back in stock, this deal is usually put on again.

Cheap PlayStation Plus deals
If you're buying a PS4 Pro, you'll probably need a cheap PlayStation Plus deal too. PlayStation Plus (aka PS Plus or PS+) allows you to play PS4 games online, along with access to the Instant Game Collection, a bunch of free games for PS4, PS3 and Vita each month. The default price for a year is £40. We've shopped around for you though and found a range of prices, including the very cheapest PlayStation Plus deals.
Cheap 4K HDR TV deals
If you’re getting a PS4 Pro, you’ll want to maximise your visual experience with a TV that supports 4K and HDR (High Dynamic Range). Naturally, after putting some cash down for a new console you don’t want to spend more than you should, that’s why you should check out our best cheap 4K TV deals page. Just remember to keep an eye out for those essential features, 4K and HDR.
What is the PS4 Pro?
Essentially, the PS4 Pro is an upgrade of the PS4, rather than a ‘next-gen’ console. The keywords to take in from the PS4 Pro are 4K and HDR. The new machine will allow game developers to include 4K options in their games, so expect the like of Uncharted 4, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Days Gone, Horizon: Zero Dawn and more to look even better on a 4K TV.
HDR, or High Dynamic Range is the other buzzword to be excited about as the PS4 Pro will allow for extra detail to be seen on a range of games and also a wider range of colours not usually displayed by traditional HD TVs.
Will my old PS4 games work on PS4 Pro?
Absolutely. If you’re planning on upgrading to a PS4 Pro from an older PS4, all of your games will still work. Not every title will be patched to take advantage of the new 4K/HDR capabilities, but the default upscaling (if you have a 4K TV) will more than likely see some improvement to the visuals and the improved console power may give the frame-rate a boost on some titles.
What else can I watch in 4K/HDR on PS4 Pro?
The PS4 Pro is compatible with 4K and HDR, and the content options for both are increasing all the time on services like Amazon Prime Instant Video and Netflix. Sony has already confirmed there will be hundreds of hours of 4K Netflix content at launch. There’s a lot of free 4K content on the YouTube app too.
Does the PS4 Pro support 4K Blu-rays?
No. This was a surprise if we’re honest, especially as the new Xbox One S console does. It’s a bit of a gamble for Sony, but at the same time, 4K Blu-rays are very expensive for now and many consumers look to digital services to provide their 4K movies and TV content.
Do I need a 4K TV to run a PS4 Pro?
No, the PS4 Pro will still work on a regular 1080p TV, you won’t get the benefits of upscaling or HDR though. You may see a slim amount of extra detail, or frame-rate boost, but we wouldn’t expect a massive leap.
If you are thinking of buying a 4K TV soon, then it’s probably a good idea to splash out on the PS4 Pro instead of the regular or new PS4 Slim as it’ll future proof you for a while. Be sure to look out for a TV that supports HDR too, in order to take full advantage of the PS4 Pro’s capabilities.
Will PlayStation VR be better on the PS4 Pro?
Early reports say yes. The PlayStation VR frame-rate is better on PS4 Pro and the resolution gets a bit of a bump too. PlayStation VR will certainly work on the older PS4s, you don’t need a PS4 Pro to get involved there.
Does the PS4 Pro have optical audio support?
Yes! The optical audio output has been removed from the PS4 Slim though, which is a massive shame. PS4 Pro owners though will still be able to use optical connections for their soundbars and sound systems.
What are the best games on PS4 Pro?
