How big is the PS5 Pro?

The size of the PS5 Pro is very close to the Slim model of the PS5 but a little wider. While the Slim model has a width of 358 mm, the PS5 Pro’s width is 388 mm. However, they share the same depth of 216 mm but the Pro is also slightly shorter at 89 mm compared to the 96 mm of the Slim model.

Therefore, in terms of sizing, it is safe to say the PS5 Pro is somewhere between the Digital Edition PS5 and the Slim model. Below is the full dimension of the entire roster of PS5 alterations released to date and how they compare.

PS5 dimensions

• PS5 (first model): Approximately 390 mm x 260 mm x 104 mm
• PS5 Digital Edition (first model): Approximately 390 mm x 260 mm x 92 mm
• PS5 (Slim model): Approximately 358 mm x 216 mm x 96 mm
• PS5 Digital Edition (Slim model): Approximately 358 mm x 216 mm x 80 mm
• PS5 Pro: Approximately 388 mm x 216 mm x 89 mm

Will PS5 Slim covers work on PS5 Pro?

Those who spent extra bucks customizing the cover plate of their PS5 Slim are eager to know if they can transfer those customized covers from their PS5 Slim to PS5 Pro. If you are in this category, we hate to inform you that the covers are not compatible.

While the bottom covers of the PS5 Slim will slide effortlessly into the PS5 Pro, the problem lies in the top covers. Arguably because of the three vents at the top, the PS5 Pro has a shorter top cover meaning the top covers from your PS5 Slim will not fit.

You’ll have to wait for Sony to release custom covers for the PS5 Pro or stick with customizing the bottom covers for now.
