PS5 Pro swept off shelves in the US after Resident Evil Requiem release

The launch of Resident Evil Requiem has triggered a massive sell-out of PS5 Pro consoles across major global markets. While Sony previously struggled to justify the premium hardware, they now have a compelling argument that is hard for gamers to ignore.

The premiere of Resident Evil Requiem has sparked intense discussions regarding the performance gap between the standard PS5 and its more powerful counterpart. It appears that players have officially cast their votes with their wallets.

As a result, the PS5 Pro vanished from the official PlayStation Store over the weekend. The console is currently listed as unavailable for purchase in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

This surge in popularity is unlikely to be a coincidence. Just last week, Sony confirmed that Resident Evil Requiem is the inaugural title to feature PSSR 2.0 support. Many enthusiasts have stated that this is the definitive moment to upgrade to the PS5 Pro, as the enhanced visual fidelity has left a significant impression on the audience.

It is particularly noteworthy that this demand is being driven not by a Sony first-party exclusive, but by a major multiplatform release from Capcom.
