PS5 Pro Box Packaging Images
The aforementioned PS5 Pro box packaging images and comparisons with the launch PS5 and the slim PS5 models as well as the PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro can be seen below.
As seen above, the packaging for the PS5 Pro is indeed visibly more compact than that of the launch PS5 model. It’s bigger in both height and thickness than the PS4 Slim’s packaging and slightly smaller in height and slightly bigger in thickness compared to the PS4 Pro.
PS5 Pro Enhanced Label
A first look at the “PS5 Pro Enhanced” label that will be present on PS5 game boxes to indicate support for the mid-gen console can be seen in the image below.
Recently, it was revealed that the PS5 Pro does not support faceplates for the PS5 Slim. The Amazon Japan store page for the PS5 Pro contains an infographic indicating that the upcoming console does not support PS5 Slim faceplates. Twitter/X user farfanetz noted that, going by the official photos of the 30th Anniversary Editions from Sony Interactive Entertainment for both consoles, there is a difference of around 1 to 2 inches between the top faceplates. However, the bottom faceplates for both the PS5 Pro and the PS5 Slim are a match. Those who are in possession of special edition faceplates for the PS5 Slim will be disappointed to know that they won’t be compatible with the PS5 Pro.
