It looks like the PS5 Pro has a secret upgrade that Sony hasn’t told PlayStation fans about. The new PlayStation 5 Pro console won’t be released to the public until November 7. However, prior to this, the console is already out in the wild. Not only did Sony ship the console early to select media outlets and influencers, but some retailers have broken the street date, allowing the average consumer – who isn’t restricted by embargoes and NDAs – to get their hands on the new $700 premium machine and can dig through it and reveal new details about it.
To this end, further Reddit it’s been revealed that the PS5 Pro packs an upgrade that PlayStation hasn’t advertised, probably because it’s tech jargon for the average consumer, but for hardcore enthusiasts it’s a meaningful upgrade, especially for those concerned about the future of the PS5 Pro. to console.

More specifically, it has been revealed that the PS5 Pro appears to have a slot to access the CMOS battery. And this is good for system preservation, because every PS5 Pro’s CMOS battery will eventually fail, and if this happens now, the battery can be easily replaced.
Without getting into the technical details, the CMOS battery is an important part of the console’s operation, providing power to a chip inside that stores things like hardware settings, the date and time.
The shelf life of these CMOS batteries is not really clear, but they are a ticking time bomb. Eventually they will go away, and this will become a problem for many consoles, but not for the PS5 Pro if the battery is easy to replace.
“F****** great. They really listened. Amazing s**t,” a PlayStation fan wrote about the news on Reddit. “It’s about time! Hopefully the PlayStation 6 will follow suit,” adds another comment.
This option hasn’t been seen since the Wii and Wii U, but with more and more countries cracking down – through legislation – on electronics that can’t be repaired, we could see more and more of this option in the future. However, it is not common at this time. To that end, it is not an option with the standard PS5.
