I’m playing a ton of Diablo 4 with my wife recently, so probably that. After that, probably Alan Wake 2 or Dragon’s Dogma 2. I’m still hoping we get a Helldivers 2 upgrade.

No Space Marine 2 nor Wukong at launch so I honestly don't know. Bit of everything I guess to see the difference. New releases? Maybe MGS: Delta but I'm on the fence.

Maybe Dragon Quest 3. That's the game I want to play when the Pro comes out, so that's what I'll play.

The benefits of stronger hardware is secondary concern compared to the quality of the game.

As for games I'm excited to make use of the power, it's likely Dragon's Dogma 2 that I started but couldn't handle how choppy it ran.

I think you will have to redownload everything. Just prioritise what you want to play first.
I expect you'll be able to have transfer games over your LAN, like when you went from PS4 to PS4 Pro.

My first game will probably be my hard mode run of FF7R (starting at chapter 3). I'm all set for the platinum run, just a bit of mopping up to do after beating hard mode. Then I do my first playthrough of Stellar Blade.

GT7 obviously for myself 😁
Hoping for some extra goodies by the time the update drops.

I also want to go through The last of us Part1 and 2 on PS5. Im yet to play Part2 and only played Part1 on PS4.

And plan on picking up Space Marines 2 eventually.
 
I'm still not sure. Alan Wake 2, TLOU2, DD2, and FF7 Rebirth are at the top of my list. It's probably going to be TLOU2 or Alan Wake 2.

I'm hoping for a FF XVI patch. I got bored halfway through the game, a PS5 Pro patch could entice me to pick the game up again.

When will the pro launch? Around November? I'm current playing Metaphor and most probably won't finish it by the time the pro launches as it's a long game.

So I'll transfer the saves to the pro and continue playing that game on the new console.

At first I'll continue my FFVII Rebirth run and play some PSVR2 GT7.
After that Dragons Dogma 2 and Stellar Blade will exit from my backlog!

Alright I'll get it if its readily available at launch. I didnt preorder it and I refuse to pay scalpers a premium on the official prices. I hope it won't be sold out. :p

I read on here that the Pro is expensive as hell and who needs it when you can get a PC. I hope they are right so I can get one.

Even though I platinum trophied it after 230 hours, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth will undoubtedly be my first game replaying when I get my PS5 Pro. While I enjoyed my time, I was not happy with the game's performance mode. Even on Sharp mode, the game still looked blurry to play through and I wouldn't say I liked the Graphic Mode's choppy framerate. Thankfully, we're getting the best of both modes on PS5 Pro and I'm glad I won't have to worry about experiencing this same event again when FF7 Remake Part 3 comes out.

Other games I plan to replay are Resident Evil 4 Remake, Lies of P, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, and much more.

Haven’t decided for sure but it will be one of these 3 (first two I own and have been waiting to play on Pro).

-Spider-Man 2
-Resident Evil 4 remake
-Dragon Age The Veilguard (if it reviews ok, probably this as I’m in the mood for an RPG with dialogue choices etc.).

Will likely fire up FF7 Rebirth too just to see how much better that looks in 60fps mode. Also bought the Burning Shores DLC for Horizon Forbidden West for $10 the other day and looking forward to playing through that on the Pro.

After those there's some things I'll buy and play that I didn't get around to yet like Alan Wake 2, Silent Hill 2 etc.

Not sure where you live, but it’s still available for Pre-order from Amazon in the US.

Good point. GT7 and even WRC 23 which may not have Pro support (yet, or probably ever) but I'm hoping the boost mode can smooth it out.

Space Marine 2 if I manage to get a disk drive on time and if the patch is on time as well. If the patch is not there for the Pro probably Elden Ring: SotET Edition.

Hopefully by next year I get a Ps5 pro, but not urgently needed. But if I get one, the set of games are FF7 rebirth, Stellar blade and its DLC, Hell Diver 2, Silent hill 2 remake, and Metaphor will be the first to test ps5 pro. First game purchase for ps5 pro? Well if grand theft auto 6 comes out next year, that will be the first for ps5 pro.

I decided to wait to start silent Hill remake until my pro comes in. So that. Then stellar blade, mgs delta, until dawn and on the one year anniversary: FF7 rebirth (second playthrough).
Yep. I won't start my copy of Silent Hill 2 Remake until the PS5 Pro patch comes.

And all the listed games you put after will flourish on PS5 Pro, particularly FF7 Rebirth and Metal Gear Solid Delta.

Either Horizon FW or Horizon ZD.

Will check out a whole bunch of games though, incl.VR.

Curious to see how PS5 Pro Boost Mode will affect games like FFXIV, Hunt Showdown, Throne and Liberty and sorts.
