    Is a PS4 Pro a worthy upgrade

    Ok. The Show is the only game I play (other than with my kids). Is the jump to a pro machine worth it for this game?

    Are you happy with the framerates when you play The Show on the PS4?

    If you ARE, I wouldn't bother and hold funds until the PS5 drops.

    The only reason to buy a Pro for this game is to enhance framerates...and those were shaky last year in some parks on the Pro (I wound up dropping my output to 1080p...which helped immensely).

      If you have a 4K TV, then yes.

        I upgraded about 6 months ago and gave my boys my original PS4.

        I do not have plans to move on to the PS5 for quite a while, if at all.

        I would say if you are not upgrading to a PS5 and you have a 4k tv it is worth it. Otherwise, I would wait until the end of the year and just go the PS5 route.

          I bought the pro and a 4KTV back at Christmas 2018. haven't looked back. but if money is even the slightest of issues, then hold off. if money is no issue I wouldn't (& didn't) wait.

            I was going to get a Pro last year but figured I’d hold off for the PS5 instead.

              Just so you know, with '19 there were some pretty hefty framerate issues for those with PS4 Pros. Some people weren't seeing them, while others like myself were. They eventually released a patch that made it better. But for whatever reason, MLB the Show on the PS4 Pro hasn't always been the smoothest experience. I have a really nice 4K TV as well.

              Having said that, I still love my PS4 Pro and MLB the Show. Pre-ordered '20 a long time ago.

                I have a standard ps4 and a xbox one x. Now, there is definitely a difference between the two.

                But games like Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War still look great on my standard ps4.

                Like others have said, if you don't plan on upgrading next fall, I'd get one. If you do, just wait it out.

                  I haven't bothered updating it, so I am going to make it to the PS5 by skipping it and saving money. I hate 2.0 consoles. plus I got a 3k computer

                    I love my pro, when I went back to a friend and played the show on a regular ps4 the framerate difference was night and day.

                      If you have a 4K TV it is, but you might want to hold out and wait for the PS5.

                        For The Show? Yes regardless if you have a 4K. That is not the most appealing part of The Show on the Pro, it is the framerate. It is absolutely night and day in regards to framerate. I cannot even stand to look at the original PS4 for this game.

                        If you do not plan to get a PS5 this year, I would 100% pick up a Pro for this year's release. I promise you, you will not regret it. If you have the funds for a Pro upgrade AND PS5 (if you are getting one), it is still absolutely worth every penny.

                          Can't tell another man how to spend his money. But if you only play one game, is it really that important to have?

                            Just keep in the back of your mind the PS5 might not even come out this year. Beside the fact Sony has been radio silent the whole corona virus has put most part of the China production line on hold.

                            If Sony still manages to put it out before the holidays I predict it’s gonna be such a small batch you won’t get your hands on it before 2021 rolls around.

                              In my mind, yes it 100% is if you play MLB The Show - I love how it runs on the Pro.

                              HOWEVER, with the PS5 being released later this year, it would seem very foolish to me to upgrade right now. I would put that money towards the PS5 if I were you, unless you don't plan on getting a PS5 for a while.
